As a fan, I too long for the day that we raise the premiership trophy, but I reckon it’s a very narrow minded view to think that a head coach’s job description consists of a one line “win the comp”.
If we dont win it will be down to us.
I f**kin hope we dont win a premiership, imagine how long we will have to put up with the merkin then
Because that person probably thought we were no hope of winning the title and missing the 8 would expedite change and be the better long term option. It's not really that shocking.
Yeah that's pretty obvious, but thanks anyway.
Thats not why I said it.
Well I'm not sure what you meant by the let that sink in bit but hey.
Because self-sabotage is destructive, counterproductive and in the end benefits nobody. Merkins are getting so wrapped up in their own perspective, they are tone deaf to the potential consequences.
That was me and I don’t regret saying that. The actual quote was something along the lines of I’d rather miss the 8 than go out like a wet fart in week 2 again. I think you’ll find if we lose tonight a lot of fans will agree with me. You might be content with seeing us repeated get knocked out of the second week of the finals but I’m not. I want us to win a premiership and I hope we kick the Raider’s arse tonight.
No it wasn't.
Certainly was, and I stand by it.
But it isn't self sabotage. It's a fan commenting on something they have no control over. And you agreed that the poster wants a long term gain so none of that applies.
Bullshit
Well that's settled that.
