It was shut last year already until JWH decided to break through it towards the end of the season and go full beast mode on the comp. Once he got injured though the glaziers patched the window back up and we are locked out again.
History tells us we have another 8-10 years before it opens again, although we may find a cheeky way to try and squeeze through at some point before then ala the 2010 season (with devastating results)
JWH is a poor excuse in my opinion. Even after he was gone we were still the best side for the rest of the season.
I'm not so excited about next season. I think mentally we are shot. 2 minor prems with nothing to show for it has to hurt your state of mind.
I think it does the total opposite, I think it puts the fire back in the belly.
Motivation is the biggest factor in stopping teams from going back to back, the humiliation of the last two years, especially last year will cut deep. There's been a good turnover of players too, I'm excited.

Wtf are you talking about. We were the best team after 26 rounds last year. We were a conversion away winning week 1 of the finals. Take this negative shit elsewhere.
Our premiership window is in the process of slamming shut - if it hasn't already.
It's not really. When you look at the biggest improvers in the nrl it's teams from lower down then us. Teams above us like Brisbane, cows etc will generally stay roughly the same as they don't have the ability to buy any game changers. Middle teams like souths, cronulla, Melbourne are in a very similar position to us. Teams like parra and Canberra and the warriors that have been dog shit will start to come good. We have every chance in a very tight comp where luck and injury will play a massive role.
I can't wait to watch Hastings and fergo develop this year and maybe even get a glimpse of Mitchell in grade. And for what it's worth I think Canberra will do a Penrith from 2013 and have a breakout year.

Would be a shame to lose Boyd now, after developing him from a raw boned 16 year old. I always thought he'd be a one club man, as he's always seemed so passionate about the joint. But money talks I suppose.
Hopefully, like JWH, he will realise that there's no place like home, and stays where he belongs - at the Chooks.

Yes a really good turnover of players... We managed to offload Maloney and RTS but luckily nabbed Ian Henderson and almost Robbie Farah.
