Best wishes and good positive thoughts for you. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and also your divorce. You are not alone in your pain. I've had a family member slipping in and out of a coma over the past month so that's why I haven't been posting on here much anymore. There seems a few of our fans who've mentioned they've been going through divorces this year as well and I can't even begin to imagine how painful this must be for you but I do know what it's like to have your heart smashed. I'm still stunned over yesterday's result and it hasn't sunk in yet, no matter how many newspapers I've bought (yes, even the rubbish one we all love to hate) and how many wellwishers contact me. I spent part of yesterday in the first aid room because of the heat at Homebush 
as I'm such a delicate flower 
but it was worth it. A special thank you to Horrie Hastings for being my best friend through what has been a nightmare year for me and my family as well and for meeting up with me at Homebush yesterday. It was a privilege to spend the evening with you and to also turn around and see the likes of Phantom, FC, Shandy Andy and The General in the seats in the adjoining bay. I also had the privilege of going back to Bondi Junction on the club's bus with PKR, who is Pauline Robinson from the old Wall. We met by accident and it was so lovely to travel back with her and I thank her for travelling to Sydney to come and join us. We have a truly special group of people following our club, both here on this forum and also at the regular games, so those who think we are a club of bandwagon and fair weather fans, you are missing out on meeting some truly remarkable human beings.
When I told SKD last year that I was moving back from Melbourne, he promised me the team would get their act together and so you did. You did yourself and your family so proud buddy and I will defend you and your passion for Easts until the day I die. You have more than paid back the Roosters local community for welcoming you and your father with the amount of unpaid and unsung charity work you do with our local children, the times you have played injured, the longstanding records you have equalled, the way you represent your country as a proud Kiwi and the awards you have won. The poster on here who refers to you as average at best obviously doesn't see you as you truly are and that is their loss.
I never once wavered in my faith last night even when we were behind on the scoreboard simply because I know we have a very special group of good boys who deserved to win, above everyone else. The positivity and goodwill surrounding this team is something magical, judging by the amount of fans from other clubs who have finally taken notice of what some of us knew from the beginning that Trent would do something special with this team this year.
So I guess this means I now have to walk the entire length of Bronte Road in a Souths jersey as I threatened to do if SBW delivered us a premiership...
