5 wins, 3 losses, 2 draws after 10 rounds. Only one loss thereafter (against NZ) until the GF.
Too many quick ninja merkins on this forum. I can't post as quickly as you all when I have 7 tabs of porn open and I am ripping the head off one at the same time.
Spoof? Lol...
Consistent viscosity and consistent flow is ideally what you should be shooting for.
Yeah this, or maybe win it every April like the Dragons.I'd only be happy if we won the premiership every week.

Id rather be 6/0 then 0/6
In both 2001 and 2009 an uncontested mid field bomb cost us both g/f.2001 was special, but I think the loss in the GF was so painful I can't name it as my favorite season. I was just so shattered after that game.
Same in 2005.
2009 had a terrible period where we were close to the bottom of the ladder, only to have us suddenly find top gear and win a shitload of games to make the GF. From absolute low to absolute high. I wasn't as shattered after the GF that year simply because I thought Melbourne were the best team and we we probably not going to win. Plus they then got stripped of that Premiership which makes it even better, haha.
Was that the game the dirty Storm put the chicken wing on Cayless and continued doing it until NRL clamped down? They also started the wrestling and crusher tackles didn't they?Agree, 2001 we started poor but we looked so dam good every game was easy.
2009 was more a dream. We had to win every game just about to make the 8. And we did it.
We where not just a bad side we where woefull. Ive never seen a team in the NRL trasform like that . What a shame a team, that cheated robbed us of history. A real f**king shame that one. I still remember a whole family of f**ks storm supporters laughing all game at the GF. The NRL glorify Slater and Cam but gee
Newcastle beat us easily with Andrew Johns and we slaughtered them later on without Johns. Always thought they were our biggest threat and unfortunately it turned out that way. How could they play the perfect first 40 mins plus deny us 2 trys?Now that I come to think of it, we might of lost Rd 2 to the Sharks, Rd 4 to Newcastle, Rd 6 in Canberra.
Drew in Rd 8 and Rd 10 for a 5-2-3 start. Something like that.
P.S. Thanks.

That and Ben Kennedy. He really tore us a new one that night.Ive said this before and ill say it again, we had nervous energy due to the fact the previous semi finals we played at 3pm. Knights played theirs at 730pm
This GF was the first at 8pm. We looked and played like a deer in headlights
Had we matched them in the first half (like we have with other sides) we had the artillery to run away in the 2nd half
Not to be
FFS the game goes for 80 minutes. There would be hundreds (or more) incidents responsible for the outcome of a match.In both 2001 and 2009 an uncontested mid field bomb cost us both g/f.
I believe there were even a couple of semenary moments in both games.FFS the game goes for 80 minutes. There would be hundreds (or more) incidents responsible for the outcome of a match.
