You can cast aspersions all you like, once you start that rubbish you've already lost, you won't get a bite from me!
This is what you accuse the media of doing ! And here you are doing it me ! I’ll just join the throng who don’t bother with your postings anymore... Xo
I'm not disagreeing with you. Just suggested we are equally at fault for risking Cripps in the same role.
Ditto here, Jones/Rowe would be the preference for me. I can see what rucking Cripps and Charlie could do for the midfield, ie getting more pace in there for a start.
I wonder if they’ve actually had the conversation with Jones about where HE wants to play ? I’m sure he’ll play wherever he’s wanted, but maybe he could be a competitor in the ruck and really contribute around the ground ? That might also allow Weitering to settle...
Not all players recover from knee injuries, regardless of the type of player they are.
True enough, but I’d rather spring/leap players like Charlie keep their knees intact for as long as possible. As good as the surgeons are nowadays they’re doing a repair...
There’s one thing - and one thing only - that will shut the media harpies up. Winning. The club knows this.
At the moment we have no voice or credibility and unfortunately we just have to grin and bear it.
Even when we get pulverized and bullied all night and yet the first hard tackle we lay gets pinged for being dangerous. Even when clear marks are disallowed. Even when the opposition handballs it directly out of bounds but the umpire is in the wrong spot to see. Even when every other club kicks out over the line in practically every game yet we get penalized twice in the one game.
Winning doesn’t just bring respect, it brings privileges.
That trash bag we wore last night is a putrid and failed marketing attempt. The white us a logical reversal of the colours we wear in our regulation guernsey, the baby blue is at least blue. The grey looks like a poor 80’s attempt at trying to be all 2000’s and the space age future. The coaches should be all knocking out stats on Commodore 64s and we should be serving Tang at quarter time.
Maybe Elon Musk could build us a little submarine ?
For what it's worth I agree with you. Sacking the coach might give us a temporary sugar hit but ultimately it would lead to our ruin. Most supporters underestimated the dire state of our list, brought about by decades of negligence and poor management, there's simply no easy options. The harsh reality is that it might be 6 or 8 years until it reaches fruition, until Curnow, Weitering, Dow, O'Brien, SPS, McKay and the likes are old enough and experienced enough to form a quality core which we've lacked since the 1990's. The hard work is all ahead of us, and one of the hardest things we have to do is to convince the young players that their day will come if they stick. Sack the coach now and it all unravels.
