Is anyone else........

[supermario]

at least mildly excited with the changes at the club???

we as fans have been through alot of shit, both on and off the field, copping barbs from opposition supporters at every chance, every loss, every indiscretion.

And yeah i think it has made us all a bit cynical considering how long this has gone on for.

but for me, and i am not calling brian Smith the next Barrack Obama or Jesus Christ, but you can tell he has caused change and has changed for the good !!!

it inspires you with a little hope that things can get better and they will !

Melon spoke about baby steps, like beating souffs and moving forward, and while we all joke about it, thats that it will take, baby steps.

i just felt the need to type this because i feel there is a little hope in the 2010 Roosters and hopefully some of the fans are feeling this.

You can disagree with this if you wish, but i feel we will do well, alot better that alot of people expect !!!!

I'm excited for season 2010 but it doesn't matter what's said in the papers or what the players are saying. If they can't back it up with the flogging of Souths and no wooden spoon, what's to be happy about?

Considering what he is doing in America lets hope BS is not the next Barack Obama

I agree wholeheartedly Muzz......there is a different feel to this time last year, with the fans, with the boys....its a good different feel....

And on BS, I must say I was very impressed with my first meeting of the man.....I put my hand out to shake his and welcome him to the club, and he asks my name, and then went around all of us, including the kids asking our names and shaking hands, and telling us that he is very excited to be here and very happy with things as they are progressing.....
Then half an hour later he looked FC in the face and called him by name.....now I know thats nothing special, but the guy must meet plenty of people daily, but it is certainly a good first impression....

I have no doubt that Smith is the right man for the job. He is a proven performer who knows what it takes to make a successful NRL team. It won't happen quickly because the decay in this club over the past 4 years is alarming.

Mildly excited? Im SUPER excited...cant wait!
Chooks for top 4, thats how excited i am

[shagger]

I am excited for a number of reasons. BS for one he will do wonders for this club you wait and see.

New season... yeah I'm excited!
After a year of woes, I'm looking forward to seeing us at least win a couple of games this year (if not make the top 8.)

It's hard seeing us get our asses kicked every week... I'm excited about the changes!

[Geohood]

Im just excited by the fact that there may actually be some good structure in our play this year.

[TheBigFella]

I am VERY VERY excited & getting more confidence every day.

[TheLoneRooster]

Yeah Muz, I'm excited, but trying to keep my excitement in check because I really don't want to get my hopes up and have them dashed so emphatically as occurred in Round 1 2009 and onwards. To my mind, being competitive against the vermin come Round 1 2010, let alone flogging them, is a baby step.

[Guest]

imo we'll do better this year than 08.

Thats a people person for you. The people I have come across who can remember all peoples names .Have always been successful people.

As for this year I will just take it week by week.There is though enough talent in the squad to have a good season. We have some very good young players.

Like I said in the 2010 thread.....come Round 10 we will be no worse than 7 wins, 3 losses - mark my words.
