A Stupid Question:

[STK2009]

Just have the sneaking sensation that there may be a small prospect we're not taking this year's NAB seriously.
Just have the lingering thought Rossmatic may have made the prior decision to abandon the 2009 pre-season campaign.
Figure that the overall context is H&A premiership success.
Wondering if I could garner some opinion on the matter...
What do people think?

I think Ross is doing exactly what he did last year. Last year it appeared that Ross did exactly what you suggest he is doing this year. Last year we won the nab cup, probably by accident !!

i think you're right. seems he'll use it to experiment a bit and winning will be a bonus.

Thanks Eastern, bigcarl.
Just have the feeling that Rosso knows we want to be in the Big Dance.
As Saint Bev has said, it looks like he will be playing the kids tomorrow.
The mood, that we have the team to make it into the Big Dance in 09/10.
Rosso (big on list management) has a higher ambition than the NAB offers.
If Voss plays Brown and Bradshaw the ink on a result may have been pennned.
Just doesn't want to give too much away our man Rosso.
Here's suggesting that Rosso may apply The Roos Rule.
FAIR DINKUM !!

Looks like RL's doing the same thing he (and everyone else) did last year. Give the kids a run to start with...if you win, great, if you lose, there's always practice matches. Does any team set out to win the NAB Cup?

[HarveysDeciple]

agree with the sentiments echoed so far.

We played the kids in the first 2 games last year and then picked up the pace,

which is what I imagine we would do this year regardless of whether it be NAB Cup or some country practice matches.

You'll see games get put into Gram, Hayes, Max etc as we go along.

I think we're getting mixed messages from the Saints. RL says they are in it to win it as last year he thought it started some sort of momentum for the real season, but from memory our 1st half of the season was a bit average wasn't it?

2-2 after Rd 4?

Yeah and 4-5 after round 9 I think...
