Remember 2002? Grand Final Appearance 1? We got tonked a couple of time that year - including 0-44 v the Roosters.
Remember 2011? Grand Final Appearance 2? We started that season in a major crappy way, 0-3, got tonked 10-40 in the first of week finals but still, hello Grand Final 2011...
Look, I'm not saying things are perfect, obviously last Saturday's game was GAWDAWFUL (I think coping with emotional moments is not this club's forte, personally. In this instance,
obviously the emotion could not be - and should not have been - avoided or averted but maybe some more team group talks are needed in these moments). However, I think AK was
always going to be put back into CCNSW this week or next week, has any first season debutant
not had to go back down to the lower level to work on doing A more or B less in the less visible and pressured environment? I think and advocate - as I've posted on here before - that any rookie season will be an up-and-down season for both AK and
Chanel Harris-Tavita, which will (hopefully) be best for them in the long run.
Purple Kool-Aid is the best one. I've always liked Lime and Orange because of the colours, but the taste of Purple....
Or is it the taste of bitter almonds?
