Melancholy Musings - Mighty Tigers (Mon, 27 Sept)

It only seems like the other day that we were kicking off to another year of football - for my international friends who may not be aware, here in Oz there are a couple of codes of football which incorporates soccer, union, AFL and as far as I'm concerned - the best one which is "League".  The season has not been without controversy but for my team, the Wests Tigers - an exciting one.

They made it through to the Finals series and last night was the play-off to the Grand Final next week.  Although gallant and playing a magnificent game which had you on tenterhooks right until the end - one point was the difference at the end of the 80 minutes of a hard, tough game.  Notice I didn't say lose - as they didn't lose the game - they fought a tough battle and it was a close one right through to the dying seconds ...

So the mighty Tigers, you may not be there physically next weekend but in spirit you deserved to be ... bring on 2011!
