What a difference a year makes. This time last year we were full of optimism after limping into 7th place, being hammered by Manly, losing two of our most experience and accomplished players, and pinning virtually all our hopes on Soward, who was still a fringe first grader. 12 months later, with a minor premiership under our belt, a few more Origin forwards, the league's top tryscorer, and Soward a Dally M/Provan-Summons medallist, we're full of negativity. Funny sh*t
Such is the life of a top 4 side. Your side will be vastly better for the run next year, they now not only think they can get to the GF, they know they can and it makes all the difference. They just looked up this season and all of a sudden they were where they always wanted to be and they had nfi what to do. It happens.
