Good for you Des. I admire the way he hasn't jumped on any prejudging bandwagons. But please change S...... for Neumann.Â
With Des as coach its easy to keep the faith. I'm glad that Arko had a few words with the boys after the match as well. We lost our first two last year before hammering the Warriors. Hopefully we can just lose the first one and go on to smash the Warriors agains.
Lets hope so Pittwater The boys at training are going to be all over me tomorrow, and if they get us they will be unbearable next weekend
