Could not have put it better.

[laura]

1. Win finals, stronger case for re-development of MES & more reason for players to re-sign with Force.

2. Re-sign all players under John Mitchell as coach. No players=No team=No upgrade/redevelopment of MES.

3. MES redeveloped.

4. Bledisloe game in Perth at the newly re-developed MES.

5.Wallabies to take out the Tri-Nations.

1. Force win super 14 final.
2. Wales win six nations with a grand slam.
3. Newport RFC win PPC, (Good chance sitting in 3rd still)
4. Dragons win Magners League, (F****** no chance)
5. Wales beat Wallabies (again)

Suprised you didn't add a Newport v Wallabies fixture in there too WRF

I don't think the scoreboard at Rodney Parade can fit 3 numbers for opposing sides on it.

As long as the Force don't ever play them I couldn't bare to watch.

[Burgs]

I'm greedy, I have a 2nd V...

6. Commentators do some research on the correct pronounciations of names of overseas players and actually have a look to see what each player looks like pre match to learn hair colour, headgear colour etc to help them from cocking up all the time...
7. Subiaco to fall silent for Goal Kicks rather than booing
8. All teams get listed 1-15, 16-22.

To make it through the season without,

1. Shoulder surgery (once)
2. Knee surgery (twice)
3. Rolled ankles (endless)
4. Hamstring strain (now and then)
5. My wife hiding my rugby gear (always when I complain about injuries)

Well I would say that you at least have a chance with the first four

[Cowboy]

1;I get to the first home game.
2; I get to the second home game.
3; I get to the third................. I think there's a pattern forming

Oddly mine are much the same

I think the Barbarians game is a good way to tie off the rugby year - how did everyone go? These were mine...

1. Official announcement that MES will be redeveloped.
Hmm... there's that $2 million dollar upgrade for next year but not really...
2. Official announcement of a Super 14 revamp; whether it's an extended season, a new finals format, a 15th franchise or whatever - as long as it's positive.
I was annoyed at the compromises in the eventual format but looking back at this shows that it wasn't always set in stone. It's actually pretty amazing it got as far as it did.
3. Rugby sevens makes the Olympics; October 2, Copenhagen is the time and place!
Woohoo!
4. Force makes the finals; just like every year of course
Uuurrrgghhhhh.....
5. Indonesia wins promotion to Division 2 of the Asian 5 Nations; ok it doesn't sound impressive but the union has only existed for 3 years!
Shock loss to the Philippines consigned them to last place.
