[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 798622, member: 39190"] I'll bite. You are wrong in a number of ways. First off the Stormers aren't in the pay-off zone as things stand. We are not a rubbish team. Over the last 5 odd years we've topped or near enought topped the overall log on numerous occasions. You can question our BMT but saying we are a rubbish team is the only rubbish around here. Take into account for a second the fact we've lost our two most influrntial coaches, hadn't appointed a new head coach almost as the tournament started and have had a huge amount of player disruption to deal with and have been playing with our 3rd and 2nd choice players at 10 and 9 with our two best players in De Allende and Etzebeth only now coming back and De Allende struggling hugely for form. As for Stormers fans being delusional, how can we help the format? Our team can only play what's in front of them. Yes, we have an easy draw. Over the last couple of years our record vs NZ teams are comparable to our record vs Aussie teams. We certainly aren't in any sort of form ATM but neither are/were most teams who have been dealing with new coaches and selection disruptions. Its no surprise the Lions are topping the SA conference as they are the only SA side without a new coach and with some carry over from last year. You can see a similar trend with the NZ sides with the top 3 teams all having the same coach as last year. As for us thinking we were all but assured a play off spot 3 weeks back you'd struggle to find anyone who wouldn't have thought that. Most Stormers fans did see warning sigs in the loss to the Waratahs and I doubt you'd have found a confident Stormers fan heading into the Bulls game so either you don't know the definition of the word "delusional" or you are kidding yourself and believing the BS you spout, IE delusional. On a side note your posts seem to be pure nonsensical hate-spewing when taking into accoutn you hold no punches when discussing SA sides yet there are 4 SA side ahead of the top Aussie team who also get to play substandard sides more regularly yet you point your vitriol in SA's direction. That just makes your posts seem like they are coming from a very negative place rather than any kind of justifiable objectivity. [/QUOTE]
