Ok....so in the last 10 years Olympics average final league position in the "top league" of the given year is........5.2.......now you can't finish 5.2 in the league so using the Swedish rounding system you would round DOWN to 5.......so 5th......thats the average finishing position for the Greeks.

Olympic are a GREAT club and have some great lads in the team, do not get me wrong! the passion they bring is massive and nothing much beats playing Olympic @ Newtown or anywhere for that matter. I had my best game in a Wests shirt against Olympic, it was my run-on debut and it was a buzz......2001 @ Newtown Park, I had to mark Steve McMahon and got smashed in a tackle by Jason Musgrove.......wouldnt trade it for the world!
Good luck to anyone playin football on the weekend, see u at Bell 2mrw Jiz08 ;)
Top 4 would be a great achievement for the club considering how many players we have lost and how well we have put a new team together and new coach. We have got a young side with a few experienced players like Barry Simon and Raf. The thing to remember is that this year we have got alot of greeks in the team so they will stay with the club for a long time therefor this team will only get better! They do not play for money because most of them are not even being paid and those who r rather there money go to the club then themselves. Dont see many players from other clubs doing that. However id like to see a HUUUGGGEE turnout against Stop Out at Newtown Park on Sunday please as this is Barry Lewis's 100th game!!! He has been an extremely loyal player to the club and even though he comes last in every fitness run he is still one of the best defenders in the league!!

Yeah it was pretty much a baiting exercise, but I think I agree with myself. Looking at the bench that came on for the dull Wests game, you guys are lacking depth. In previous years you wouldn�t have put on a player who just arrived from Rugby League Park. Your teams of previous years would be doing better. Good on you for not throwing the cheque book around this year (or that may have been forced). When you do that, players will just move on to the next club (Wests) when it dries up.
Maybe I am just being shallow and looking at your individuals rather than how you are functioning as a team. Nice to hear there is a good mood in the camp though, after fleeting visits by superstars rocked the boat last year.
Is it just me, or is the league weaker this year? A few guys not playing, and all the cream seems to be at Wests or Miramar - thus their reserve teams performing admirably in their grades.
Can't match it - we all know Olympic have paid big money in the past but that has stopped. Wests, Hutt, gissy and (Miramar to a lesser degree) are the big spenders and good on them if they want to buy trophies.
