After a preseason that was supposed to give us positivity we've had that shattered by our losses in both rounds. The latest result hurt. Alot. Even our coach has lost his cool in his presser. Our fans have been tarnished by the pie throwing and the threatening of an opposition player's kid. We can't attract marquee players and we're down 3 props.
We have a week to regroup and then face our biggest challenge of 2025. What happens next will show the character of the club and given the record of incompetence it will most likely end in failure.
There is still soul in this club and how it's stuck by Ramsey and how it stuck by the Illawarra even though many of us don't like it or agree with it and we get taunted about merging, whether rightly or wrongly still proves there is some good in the club. I'll be damned if I ever give up, especially against a club who refuses to accept how it cheated and came up with some of the most disgusting tactics in the gane. I don't give a f**k if they are better than us, have better players, have better systems, have a better coach, a better stadium, are more ruthless and are favourites to easily beat us.
The day we give up, have apathy, stop caring or stop getting angry is the day we truly become losers, for me that day will never be against those purple merkins. The season they entered the comp we had our history and heritage diluted over some bullshit criteria and that won't ever sit well with me.
