Like most of you, I'm still gutted after Saturday night. However, keep your chin up - we've got a realistic chance of lifting the trophy, unlike some of the no-hopers who have been getting stuck in since our loss on Saturday night.
I take plenty of positives away from 2005... I'm sure I've left plenty out, but here goes;
Nathan Brown: is maturing into a very capable coach: he's not afraid to ask for help where he needs it, & will benefit from a very tough start to 2005. There'll be tough times ahead - but he's got the makings of a Premiership winning coach.
Trent Barrett: has proven himself a leader. His team respect him on & off the field, & should lead this team to success sooner rather than later.
Matty Head: if anyone doubts how good this guy is, have a look at the 2005 highlights - he is a genius in the making. He probably won't make many rep sides, but he'll be the cornerstone of our club's success.

Thanks Dragons_#1!
Forwards: Whilst we're losing Bailey at the end of next year, we've unearthed some genuine talent in Creagh, Poore & Sims - who should serve us well over the next 5 years. Guys like Lance Thompson keep putting in, & hopefully will get that Premiership ring before he retires - he bl**dy deserves it!
Backs: our back-line is the envy of many clubs. The club has bought well (Best), developed well (Naiqama), & shuffled well when needed (Greenshields/Hornby). I think that Naiqama could turn into one of the most lethal wingers in the competition, & comparisons to Wendell Sailor are justified.
Front Office: love 'em or loathe 'em, Doust & his team have done a good job hanging on to a very talented (& expensive!) group of players, & haven't done so at the expense of developing juniors. It'd be a full-time juggling act, & a tough one at that.
Just remember - what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger!!!
Bring on 2006!
