Losses have always been hard for me to take. Getting beaten in any sport I follow, whether it be cricket (especially against the Poms), tennis, golf, anything involving NSW and Australia and of course my beloved Dragons losing is definitely not pleasant but life goes on as these are not the be all and end all to our day to day existence. Wins are fantastic as if you are part of the victory and the euphoria resulting from it.
I used to take Dragons losses badly but now, I realise that it's only a game. I'm almost 73 and I've seen our wins of the mighty Dragons over the great years of the 1950's and 1960's and the wins in 1977, 79 and 2010. They were great and I will always cherish those special moments.
This year has been a complete shambles, disappointment and frustrating. Started off very badly - JDB, Widdop's injury, more injuries and useless team selections with so many changes to fullbacks and wingers, our forwards not big and powerful enough and so many games played lacking strong game plans by our inept coaching staff.
I'm having to get used to losses now and unfortunately, unless we have an improved playing roster, changes to the coaching staff and more positive attitudes all round, I'm dreading the losses will continue unabatedly throughout the 2020 and 2021 seasons for us.
Until next year then fellas!
