You are proving to be a supercilious git.
You made a false interpretation of my post and used disparaging terms in your initial response "let me dumb it down for you" I believe was your quote.
Mitchell doesn't play FB now and was replaced in that position by a 33 year old so how do you explain that he should be a walk up start as FB for us when despite all his potential he doesn't fulfil that role at his current club?
Mitchell only got his chance by being exceptional in lower grades exactly as Dufty has done so why should we not give Dufty his chance, why discard him without ever looking at him?
Potential can only be fulfilled if it is given its chance so Dufty deserves every opportunity to do exactly what Mitchell has done.
You somehow presuppose my opposition to Mitchell is because I think he has not talent or potential which is incorrect I simply prefer to look within in the first instance.
Is it your belief that if we have an NRL vacancy that we should entice some other clubs 20 year old already in firsts be poached rather than promote our own 20 year olds?
If you use that philosophy why not go for Hess and forget about Leilua?
Our club refuses to utilise / embrace young talent within its own ranks and you appear to agree with that stance by suggesting Mitchell ahead of Dufty purely on the basis that Mitchell has already played 1st.
With that attitude we may as well not have juniors at all, as we will never blood / select them and every other club that does do that obviously has better and cheaper options than our own club.
Adopting your attitude we will never ease cap pressure as we are always looking external and never within and somehow you justify that by suggesting that maybe Dufty doesn't have it.
Well neither you or I know whether he does or doesn't have it but at least I am willing to find out before rushing out to buy somebody else yet to be fully proven at NRL level let alone in the key position of FB.
I think you must suffer from selective amnesia. Let me remind you.
Your opening salvo to my original post was "
God - some people are f**ked in the head"
So you regard my response "
let me dumb it down for you" as disparaging? Poor baby!
It's obvious that you can dish it out but you can't take it.
You then went on to call me "
Stupid" and finally a "
F**ckwhit".
In fact, I think YOU are supercilious and your patronizing "attitude" is just appalling.
There are 2 issues here which I will point out to you seeing that you still don't get it.
1. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on these forums without having to be brow beaten and insulted by the likes of you.
In any case, it is generally an exercise in subjectivity and should be treated as such.
2. Having a basic decency and respect for other people.
Name calling shows limited intelligence and no class.
BTW - Latrell Micthell would still be a terrific long term replacement for Dugan
in my opinion.
