Gotta be happy getting game 1 again.

Hope we play in Sydney again - surely next year will be our best chance in along time to break that voodoo!

Hopefully it won't be a long, cold weekend after the game, as it was this year... :(

I'm happy we're the very first game of the season - that's got to be good exposure for us and it means we get to see our club before anyone else in 2009 (apart from the tigers fans of course...)

I hope we actually come with the win this time and not get our pants pulled like last time, when we thought we would smash them.

Blue Beatle just bought our plane tickets from Tassie so I hope this happens :oops:
Saw last year's game with SOPM and came away very disappointed and disillusioned. We HAVE to beat them next year if we are to jump up the ladder, as well as beating the ones we beat last year. I am also hoping for wins over the Roos and Saints and maybe even Sydney for the first time in a while.
Are we there yet?
