Assuming we win on Sunday, and based on form, there's a good possibility that could happen.
Has there, or will there ever be a more satisfying win or a more satisfying Grand Final win or year as a Rooster or Rooster fan?
Last year, 5 wins, wooden spooners, horrible and unacceptable off field behaviour and a team that severely under performed.
This year -
Minichiello - Back to his best after coming back from an injury that many thought would be the end of him.
Brian Smith - A master coach who's plans since day one have been a master stroke and been heavily responsible for the massive turn around to the club. Has never won a premiereship and now sees himself in the best position of his career to do so.
Todd Carney - Banished from his home town, makes a remarkable return to the NRL. He wins the Dally M, 5 8th of the year, despite playing many games at fullback. He also wins the Norm Provan Medal and also takes out the prestigious Dally M Award.
Mitchell Pearce - With Todd Carney, will not only become the saviour for New South Wales, but will also become the dominant halves pairing for Australia.
Braith Anasta - A captain who has taken alot of responsibility for what happened last year, has had to deal with his incredibly ill mother, he wins Dally M captain of the year, and really, quite clearly, is now the best captain in the game.
Nate Myles - Turned his season completely around and based on our player poll, is easily rated as our best forward this year.
Jason Ryles - Doubted by many as a dud signing initially, only to turn out to be one of our best buys with the exception of Todd Carney and ironically, last played for St George before he was given the boot.
Jake Friend - Off field drama led him horribly astray. This 19 year old makes a solid return and has become an incredibly under rated #9.
Sam Perrett - Has his first born baby in 2010.
Shaun Kenny-Dowall - In 15 rounds he went from one of the worst centers in the game, to one of the best centers in the game, being compared only to Israel Folau, Greg Inglis & Jamie Lyon.
I could go on and on and on.. but it seems every player has a reason that (should they win on Sunday) will make the year an absolute fairytale for everybody involved and should go down as the greatest comeback and turn around in the history of the game.
I honestly, cannot think of a more satisfying win. Ever.
