History for ballane

There’s only a mentality if you build it up into one. Otherwise there’s tasks that need to be completed to win. We did those well last season. Missing the composure on goal so far. 

I mean what happens when we win? We accidentally forget to do what is programmed in our DNA? If we still had Paulsen would he have this same issue? Old? 

We ignored our DNA until Rua Conchie was 5m too deep against Doka? Strange mutant DNA that exists only after we’ve lost a game.

This club DNA argument is a load of defeatist crap.

Yep saying its a club DNA thing may be crap. What cant be denied is that we have often over time not performed at games at the stadium during the season that have been deemed to be big games. 
Could be any of a 1st game at home after an extended time away,1st game after a good run of results, a public holiday not talking about a loss could have been a dour draw. Even last season which was our best ever many were let down on Waitangi Day by a draw.
Its not even about maybe disappointing Nix fans but not living up to the hype those casuals that have been enticed to come along expect. It just cant be denied that over there years it has happened a number of times.
The last thing i can be accused is being a defeatist   if anything i get accused of being to optimistic i was one of the few last season who stated before the season started we could be top 4.
