I see next year as probably the most crucial year in its short history. At present we are standing on top of the cliff, the club is under massive pressure on all fronts,their are big money problems,boardroom in disarray and of course on field performances are not what they should be.
A winning football team and things can turn around quickly and the reserve can happen with a poorly performing team just as quickly.Like a lot of others Iam so excited about the young talent we have coming through the system,but Iam not so sure our club can survive to many average years while they reach the desired standard. We saw against the chooks how far we are behind the top teams okay last week against the Dragons we showed some promise but it has to be remembered it was the dragons.
A young team can do anything when they are on a roll,but the heads can fall very quickly if they start a loosing streak. The Nrl is full of fickle people,punters,sponsors,media and club officials, they all jump on off the band wagon in the blink of a eye .
I think for the club to survive long term a lot will depend on 2014, if their is a real climb up the ladder, this team could attract a army of support,that of course equates to plenty of dollars for the bottom line. On the other hand if they struggle and its a real possibility,the dollars could dry up and this club could not survive to many more lean years.
Interesting times ahead, I think they have a roster that can make a charge,but they will need plenty of luck and minimal injuries. The way I see it,if they can make the bottom of the eight,avoid to many blow outs and beat a few top four sides in 2014 the future will be very good, but if they stagnate at the bottom or near the bottom of the comp things could get nasty.
Roll on 2014, for once in my life Iam optimistic rather then pessimistic
