Tonight I'm trying to look at things in a glass half full perspective. At the beginning of the season after the Charity Shield match we were long odds to make the 8 and short odds, second only to Newcastle to win the wooden spoon. This season the boys have amazed everyone and probably even themselves. We have beaten some quality teams with some great attacking performances that would of been only a pipe dream last year. Also the field goal loss to the Rorters was a valiant performance. I think this year we have had 2 poor games being today and the loss to the Eels. If we won today (I know, if only) we would of been in 2nd on the table. As a coach Mary has exceeded everyone's expectations this year. Clubs like Souths have been well below par and no doubt some coaches will be sacked and Mary's success until today would raise interest from other clubs. I agree the last 3 seasons have been torture for us fans. It has been a steep learning process for Mary with plenty of mistakes along the way but until today he is miles a head of his previous years. If had signed to another club it almost be like losing a junior we have brought through the ranks only to be lost to another club. Based on this year's performance I think there would be a bigger out cry if we had not signed him and lost him to another club. My vote is to stick with Mary, strap yourselves in and let's see how far we go this season.
And NO I'm not related to Mary.
