Some may question this claim, given that we played in only two grand final matches this year, compared with four in season 2015. But … this season we won two from two; last season we lost all four. We aim to be the best of the best, and that means winning premierships. We aim for other achievements also - maybe we’ll never be completely satisfied and this, indeed, could be our fate. We aim for quality of play, predominately with the ball in hand. We aim to be tough, accurate and relentless. We want the most representative players and coaches. We want a lot. Season 2016 took us further along this path and we continue to get closer to our traditional game – OK critics, I know we’re not there yet, but we continue to make progress in the right direction and we will get there. So I say “Well done to all of you in 2016 and I look forward to many more steps along that path in 2017.” I congratulate our players who this year have graduated to the Wallabies, the Waratahs, the NSW and Australian U20 teams – indeed into all elite level teams. I congratulate Morgan Turinui on his appointment to the Melbourne Rebels coaching staff. Painful though it has always been for us to lose quality players and coaches to representative roles, this has always been at the very forefront of our focus as a Club. And, in reality, we don’t really lose them. Once you become ‘a Randwick man’, you are always ‘a Randwick man’. Dare I say that this focus has always served us very well and has always provided opportunity for others to step up to the task – and others always have. As always, I look forward to next season and to the next game.
