If you jump out of a plane and forget your parachute, you cannot decide half way down that you want to stop falling....

You cannot decide half way down that you want to go back up and use what you forgot and jump again!

You need to hit the bottom before you decide to try the jump again (this time having thought it thru a bit more)

It will take a few months for the broken bones to heal.... But you will realise how stupid you looked without the one item that is essential.... And you will never forget it again!

Rounds 1-6 will be our "Chute-less" jump!

It will end in tears!

Be prepared for pain!

But we will learn a valuable lesson!

A Parachute is to Jumping from a plane..... as...... A Heart is to Playing for the Red 'n Blue!

And for those stupid enough to forget their parachute again..... You lose your chance to ever jump again!

Agree with this. If we can get our list up and running (e.g. Rivers, Bate, Wrecker) and learn the lessons that we are currently being taught – I see no reason why the second half of this season will not bring substantial improvement. I am still very positive.

To be fair mate, short of the players not turning up (its debatable whether they have thus far anyway), we couldn't get any worse. I will consider a substantial improvement to have occurred if we get touched up by less than 100 points this week.

I still have a feeling that if we can get a bit of confidence into the group, we are still a shot at the 8.....

The players on the list cannot lose their skills in 18 months!!

They can lose their confidence and their skill to be able to work as a team, but that will rapidly come back after a few upset victories!

Let us wait until the halfway mark before we de-list every player over the age of 26!
