[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 659777, member: 12207"] One of the inspiring things about the team this year has been the fact that neither the players nor Michael Cheika have talked themselves up at any point, no matter how well they have been going. The teams has reached two massive milestones this year; winning the minor premiership by finishing on top for the first time ever, and breaking their longest winning streak (which they have the opportunity to extend to 9 if they can go all the way). But for the most part they've talked themselves down the whole time. This is quite different from prior years, when players like Phil Waugh were made to look silly by saying "this is our time" etc half way through the year. All in all, the whole side just comes across as very humble and level headed. The other thing I like is that Cheika is determined to stick to his positive philosophy on how to play rugby. When he said he worries about the team's attitude and positive attacking structures first, and the results second I pretty well decided I'd stay a member as long as he was around. Yeah, it will be at ANZ. Which is a shame in a way, because unfortunately I doubt we can fill it. The everage TV ratings on foxtel for the tahs sits at around the 100k mark, so you pretty well need every casual viewer to be committing to attend the match. [/QUOTE]
