I believe its the year of the rooster
As I said mate, its always amused me the way some people have said Roosters fans have blown their trumpets when if anything we've been conservative in our estimations in recent years.
The feeling in the club is anything short of a GF berth is a failure but IMHO there is absolutely no use in making it unless you win it.
Last, 6th, 7th, 4th, 2nd.
No different in my book.
I don't rate the Eagles for being close to the mark in those many years but I do rate them for winning the big one last year. Big time, just like Ive rated Central big time for most of this century.
Some people at my club this year might be satisfied with a GF berth, I wont.
Having said that, as mentioned before, there's still a question mark over our attack IMHO.
Would have been no question mark if we'd held onto Hargs.
I'll state it here and now as Im not one to make bullshit comments because of any bias and I'll be the first admit to when a "choke" occurs.
If North don't win the premiership in 2007 its a choke, I have high expectations.
I hope people don't mistakingly think that having high expectations is being cocky, but it wouldn't suprise me as in recent years even conservatism has been mistaken for cockiness somehow, stuffed if I know how.
