Well despite the perceived 'injustices' from the officials last Saturday night, and two tough losses in a row, IMO the team is going very well. In losing it was probably our best performance of the season.
Despite the loss, be proud of your team!
Compared to last season, we've found our grit and spirit once again. Look at the little blokes - Josh Miller, Alan Tongue, Lincoln Withers - tackling their hearts out. Sure the attack has struggled at times this season but the boys are giving it their all.
We've proved all the experts wrong who tipped us for the wooden spoon. Once again the Raiders are in the mix for the finals, testimony to the character of the club. Even if we do miss the eight, I think it has been a successful year. To be honest I think everyone feared that 2005 could have been a train wreck, and despite some low points we've stuck it up the critics once more. I think we've earned more respect this season than last year when we fell ass over face into the semis.
Just because we're out of the eight at the moment, this race isn't over. It would be going against the character of the team to give up now. But as fans we cannot give up either!
10 points still to claim. Get out to as many games as you can. Send messages of support. C'mon, let's rally - put the negativity and critical analysis aside for awhile - FIRE UP and let's get the Green Machine into the finals - AGAIN!
