Completely agree mate. People say we will come good and that might be true but I for one am sick of starting the season on the back foot. Enough is enough. This was the year we were supposed to be consistent from the opening whistle, yet it's clear it's much more of just the same old shit.
Why can other sides perform consistently yet we never can?
Why don't we have a consistently good kicking game?
Why are our forwards regularly dominated?
Why do we strike no fear into any side in the forwards?
Why do we talk about the same problems each and every year yet absolutely nothing is done about them?
Have to agree mate.
I dont usually like to make predictions but before rnd1 this season i had a bad feeling about how 2012 was going to go and told a lot of freinds not to have high hopes as we wont make the 8 this year.
I then thought perhaps think of the positives such as
1-6-7-9 were all specialised in their positions which hasnt been the case for some years ,plus the inclusion of Blair and the return of Lote should see us set the world on fire right from the start. THEN after the Cronulla game is when reality hit me and that bad feeling came back again because of the following.
#No great fullback after the lose of Tedesco.
#Lote didnt actualy come back on time fresh with out any injury fears so when he does i think he will still have no confidence and under perform.
# losing 2 key senior forwards in 1 hit is never going to be good
# We some how made the semi's twice in a row and BLEW both our chances, That has to zap a sides confidence as wether they can get there again.
# We have been ranked as favourites to win.. hmmm we never like that tag
# Injuries.. f**king injuries... then comes Sheen's chance to play lets create new positions for players .. i see the " Lets play weaken position A to try him in position B " rearing its ugly head once again.
# Still picking OBVIOUS clowns in the side ( ex Utai )
# No Koebete
# And finally i can see shades of 2006-2007 etc where due to selections, injuries and just plan old players failing i can not see us settling on a permanent side that can develope combinations to allow us some consistancy to string enough wins together to make the semi,s. I can see 5 people having a go at each 7 and 1 etc during the year :x ... you know the results !! we have seen it all before.
Anyway we do have some classy players so perhaps we can turn it all around rather quickly and my latest post here will all look like a load of shit and you can all take the piss out of me lol .. im hoping thats the case.
