the stages of emotion some of us may be going through
I wasn't angry at Luke- More disappointed that he didn't want to be with us any more,,,,,,
Sadness that he may not feel wanted- or that there is something so close
and sadness for him that the decision will have brought heart ache- which may or may not have already been there- sadness that his Teammates may feel let down,
> future- Thankfull - That Luke has given us so much, has developed so much and was part of a great 8 years of growth at the Saints
Hopeful- that he finds peace and a joy to his football again.
Hopeful that the GROUP can use the current times to build further strength and focus to take that one final step.
I am realistic- I know it's a business- but in reality the very basis (and the final piece to any game) of this business is the ability of players to give their hearts and that little bit extra when it counts..
It is a job and if you / they do it well enough it should be enough - BUT it's that desperate want which will will a team past tat final siren.
Being realistic I KNOW the Saints can be there in September in 2010.

a little the reverse are my feelings on Max- Felt sadness when he retired but knew it was coming- but then Dissappointed when he jumped so quickly- as I noted last year - its a bit like being dumped by a best friend.- Just feel not needed any more
BUt - will still wish him all the best as he fills his days anew.
