Ever the optimist. After sailing through the first part of the season without so much as a hitch to the plans for back to back titles the Big Red V struck a huge pothole in the road that they have not yet really climbed out of.
It’s my team and I’ll cry if I want to – but now have all the others just where we want them – Ah bring on Melbourne! Now believe me you just gotta love the DRAGONS!!
That pothole was the State of Origin.
Having a large contingent from their team involved in both teams appears to have cut harder than imagined.
