This is one of my favourite times of the year. Summer in Sydney is magic to start off with. The weather is magic, the cricket is on and the whole of Sydney shines for the Sydney festival.
It's also when the new year ticks over that you start to realise that the NRL season is not very far away. I was even more so reminded of this fact when my Parramatta Eels membership pack arrived today.
When I tore
off the packaging of my membership pack (all with a ridiculous grin on my
face), I felt a couple of feelings, but mostly an overwhelming sense of
anticipation. Footy is on its way back.
While you
could be forgiven for thinking that I wouldn't be looking forward to the 2014
season because of Parramatta's dismal results last year, you couldn't be
further from the truth. When I remember
back to Season 2013, it is all beginning to become like a distant memory. I
remember something about troubles at a board level, sackings and mass player
movements…. but that was all so 2013.
It is a new
year and a new season and with a new season come endless possibilities. While
Parramatta might not be Premiership favourites, at this stage, anything is
possible. Parramatta lost a lot at the end of last year, including some of my
favourites like Matt Keating and Matt Ryan however, we go into Season 2014 with
lots of new as well. This will be our first year with a new board, a new coach
and new players like Will Hopoate, Nathan Peats and Liam Foran.
Over the next
couple of weeks, I'll be posting more stories, giddy with excitement that NRL
is returning.
I am perhaps
most excited about this blog though. We will have a new website by the time the
new season rolls around and this will be our first year where we will be
blogging from season beginning to season end.
I hope you'll
be there with me, every step of the way.
Love,
@LadiesWhoLeague
