It's been three games! Yes, the manner in which we lost the games was a concern but the facts remain - we still have 19 games left to play.
Our progress will be slow, will be up and down and will be unpredictable at time but it will be progress and we have to believe it. Forget the coach, forget the skill errors, forget the recent pain and remember that we remain a young, developing list. All good teams need size, experience and time to play together. We are still not there.
Until each player on our list performs consistantly especially the senior players, we have no hope of making the finals in 2011 let alone 2009.
I believe we still will make the finals this year but we need to recapture our confidence and belief and that starts not with players such as Tambling, King, McMahon etc, it starts with Brown, Simmonds, Bowden, Newman and Richo. We need leaders at our club and if they can not perform then they need to step aside and allow our younger leaders to step up and bring us some legitimate change of future success.
I still think we can be successful this year....I just hope the players do
