We have this habi...All joy for Roar fans of course. We have this habit of knocking off whoever is topping the table - goodness there are worse habits.<BR/><BR/>The hugest thing for me, during and after the game, and even now as the existentiality of the emotion has subsided, is relief for Reinaldo. Jacob and I both wanted him to do his signature flips in celebration, but then I realised it was not a time for ostentation. This was just relief and release of the demon that has been haunting his game. It was not time to shout, "Look how great I am," and he didn't. Next time the flips.<BR/><BR/>And you're right to distill the situation into, "The Roar are a team that learns." The thing is, I <I>still</I> don't think we've seen the best of them. Farina and the boys have something special on the workshop bench, and hopefully we'll really see it in, oh... about 10 weeks. Until then, carry on fellas with the learning and growing.<BR/><BR/>Hey, our strikers have been scoring goals!Hamish Alcornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697731397475746830noreply@blogger.com
