ive finally got some perspective now...didnt have it at 3am the other night..
We are, after all, only talking about 3 games aren't we?...2 nrl games and one finals appearance right..?
We are not Newcastle of a few years ago.....who put this level of effort in FOR YEARS...!
I dont recall too much coming from their media during those years do you..?
BUT....what they have done is identify the need to build a roster around a spine, so they went to market (Ponga, Brailey & Pearce) and the younger guys who weren't mentally crushed from years of losing football (Watson, Mann).
Now, not a World class spine but.....I feel they have done a decent job of building something
Times like these will tell you ample about the character of guys here. We are going to have further bad losses this season...the reasons dont matter, we just will.....and you know it...
So, we have tried to do our own version of that, Bird getting injured was just plain bad luck, but here it is (Issako, Croft, Milf & Turps)
Not a World class spine but.....its what we have....lets stick with it all year, maybe it clicks, maybe it doesn't, but the future of the club going forward demands we find out...
