Ive been hearing about them since 2003, and I saw them win the 2004 IRI. But 1 or 2 years isnt enough to claim a team is developing a history of success. So I waited to see if they will do well this year. And in the last 3 seasons, they have done spectacular, and the 2005 championship event proved that. That is why I gave them the "Rising Star" award. But yeah, the certainly do have the potential to be a "red giant" or something to that level!
