We're gone.
I can't see us making the finals after that. It's just pathetic that we can't start a first grade match properly. Every single week I think that surely we will turn up for this one early, really put in and perhaps even get the first try. But no, week after week we have to come storming home, and it's not good enough.
4 wins, 6 losses, 2 byes, well outside the top 8, still no Gidley or Cross, a lot of hard matches to come, all the teams above us are improving and we are on the decline massively.
I called it a few weeks ago - for all the potential and promise we were showing, when it doesn't get converted into points and with the outrageously difficult draw and key players missing right when we need them - the season can just slip away.
Anyone still think Bailey isn't worth $167,000/season? Of course he is.
That's peanuts for a player who could've been our starting lock next year as well as an extra option in the halves. He really sparked us tonight, such a classy player.
Fantastic buy from Manly. Tonight pretty much answered the question of how Baiey would go as a lock - fantastic in attack and defence. I think JM for one was always keen to see that.
Wish we could go back in time, snap him up and next year see -
1. Gidley
2. McManus
3. Naiqama
4. Lulia
5. Vuna
6. Mullen
7. Dureau
8. Simpson
9. Hilder
10. Cross
11. Houston
12. Paterson
13. Bailey
14. De Gois
15. Taia
16. Fa'aoso
17. Royal
