OT,As i said by all means red my previous posts where I have applauded what we have achieved this year.
Again I am merely pointing out that OV is entitled to his position and currently has more history on his side of the argument in respect of results and is obviously concerned that 6 wins is not enough to dissuade his position re coach and management.
In respect of your Churchill quote may I politely suggest that a quick study of his involvement in WW1 and some of his decision making makes the quote somewhat ironic.
He made very poor decisions in WW1, left Government became a soldier and then returned to parliament after learning leadership but still went onto make many mistakes and make some horrendous decisions.
Churchill a great opportunist but at what cost and if he had been entirely left to his own decisions in WW2 our cost would have been even more devastating.
There is nothing reticent about OV's comments while yours are annoyingly reticent but more balanced and enjoyable.
My main point was that many of us are enjoying a diiferent Dragons and whilst it may well be a false dawn as you put it some of us are entitled to be basking in the morning shunshine and be optimistic about the rest of the year.
Some of us are happy to wipe egg and acknowledge the remarkable transition with our team well on the way to surpassing our 10 wins in 2016.
Winning 6/7 allows optimists such as me to experience some euphoria that's sadly been missing for 6 years, even during our early 2015 run there wasn't the enjoyable footy that we're now watching.
The Dragons are literally on fire and we don't need to be reminded of 2016 or previous years every time some one applauds players, coaches or Club.
As for Sir Winston I'm a bit more than a quick study and yes he was stubornly wrong about plenty of things but also one of the greatest leaders in history. He certainly wasn't wrong about the 'skulls' mate Adolf before the war.
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Sir Winston Churchill.
