I was wrong about Paul Roos.

Was out at junior footy again this morning, Grand Final day and got a shock to see Roos out there(the older son was playing in a GF I think). Obviously had come back on the Perth "redeye", I reckon I would've cast the wife out and headed to bed. But he was out there joking around having a chat to all and sundry. The guy is a marvel, as soon as the siren went........"right that's over, now for next weekend".

wow what a champion bloke. Always thought he was a top bloke and after i read his bio in 99 it stretched the respect and admiration i have for the bloke.

I must admit i was p off with him this year and couldn?t work him out. But i still have a ton of respect for the man.

I apologise to Stephen McBurney, who was actually in Adelaide.
That is my mistake and I'll wear it.
Almost all I said is handed over onto Shane McInerney, except for one word which I won't mention again.
I'm big enough to apologise - bet we won't hear an apology from the umpires - an admission yes, an apology, forget it.

Don't forget that Geish didn't think it had any bearing on the result!

I have said enough on that, now to Roosy.

Well his grace under pressure and extreme disappointment after that game is a highlight of the season for me. How many coaches would have been able to rationalise, compartmentalise what happened in order to get his troops up for this week?

Sydney has every right to lose on Friday night. We were seriously robbed of our dignity and to get the boys back up and running and enthusiastic is one of the best performances of a coach and a man we will see in season 2005.
