Why tonight?

So we are at the ransom of Fainu next year why. I don't understand why we have to suffer the talent of other players because of the alleged activities of another player.

As I always say to my wife, sean john, "Why not tonight?"

Oddly, this is always my follow-up statement to my wife. Pretty much word for word.

I often mention quietly to my missus that I checked the lucky list and her name was at the top, for some silly reason she never seems to want to discuss it, women eh!

Did I tell a fib?
Unfortunately I even scare big dogs too ...
It was only 12 months ago, that we were a dubious send-off call from a semi-final. The most hardened sceptic can surely forgive Des for assuming:
1. The game is played according to the same rules the next season without any prior notice during the pre-season (our whole game plan was based on big boppers plowing through through the middle, looking for an offload. In defence, it has always been Des' tactics to give away a penalty if the ruck was being lost),
2. Guys like Elliot, Taufua, Parker, Garrick would perform to the standard they played in 2019,
3. Thompson wouldn't almost kill himself in the off-season, Fainu wouldn't be arrested and stood down, Gosiewski wouldn't have developed a nasty spinal infection, and
4. An unprecedented pandemic wouldn’t have put a halt to the reserve grade competition, thus stunting the much needed development of our talented young guys at such a crucial stage in their progression (this adversely affected our club more than most simply due to the roster Des inherited)
Des is a determined and very clever cookie. I have faith he (just like many others) will have learned from such a torrid season, and prepare our great club accordingly

He's a bit young and inexperienced - Des will give him 2 years at Blacktown first
