The Raiders have let in 108 points in the last two weeks. If it was dollars placed on Ryan Tandy giving away a penalty, the NSW Crime Commission would be setting up a phone tap.
If it was milligrams of beta-2 agonists, ASADA would be holding a press conference at the Sutherland Town Hall.
108 points at the judiciary gets you a one-match suspension.
In some schools of Buddhism it is believed there are 108 feelings, many of which I felt strongly while watching the Raiders over the last two weeks (you can guess which).
108 points gets you sixth place in the Eurovision Song Contest – an event that might better suit a bunch of burly blokes in bright lime green.
108 is the atomic number of hassium, a synthetic element with a half-life of between 9.7 seconds and 11 minutes – coincidently, the same amount of time in the first half of a Raiders game before I start to feel that sinking feeling of absolute despair.
A 0.108 per cent blood alcohol level will leave you with significant impaired motor coordination and loss of good judgment. Speech may be slurred; balance, peripheral vision, reaction time, and hearing will be impaired. You may be ejected from Beach Haus.
But most importantly, 108 points does not get you a happy fan-base.
I know you were a great halfback and I fondly remember your barking, nimble playing style from the 80’s and 90’s. But are you really a coach? Just switching around your halves won’t fortify a defensive line that has more holes in it than Australia’s future public education system.
Please Ricky, be a great inspiration, be a rebel with cause. But perhaps it’s time to leave the coaching to those just-better-than-average players gifted with an exceptional strategic footy brain. I wonder what David Furner is doing now?
Anyway, don’t forget to get your Daily Telegraph article in this week, along with your tips (Bradley Clyde knows you spend more time on that than training). I see you are doing quite well, even picking Parramatta.
