mmm..................... think theres a lot of supporters out there from Balmain . Wests , North Queensland Manly & South Sydney who will know exactly how you feel. I mean yours is definetly not the worst circumstance. You have got it better than people who have supported Balmain prior to the merger and now Wests Tigers, who havent been in finals since 1990. Also Cowboys who have never been there and Souths who have not made the 8 in a while.
And yes these things do run in cycles, but hopefully the cycle will come sooner rather than later cause it is getting frustrating every year going to games in round 20 - 26, knowing your really not playing for anything other than 'pride'.
BTW, I hope Manly get up this weekend, they have really shown that they can play football in the last month but somehow have kept loosing. They play a pretty good brand of footy and one day this year, I think it will come off and youll beat a side by 20 - 30.
