2025 Origin 2 - Wed 18 Jun - NSW v QLD @ Optus

[The Axe of Druss]

No, however you seem to make a lot of posts aggressively missing the point. Nobody ever said a five eighth is incapable of being best on ground

I didn't miss the point at all. Munster was the "main influencer" as you put it in those games.

I could add the time Darren Lockyer played with Shane Perry in 06 too. Surely you don't think Perry was the main half in that Broncos team?

Maybe your point isn't as strong as you think it is

Being wrong happens mate, best to accept it gracefully

Luai/Cleary have the chance to finally deliver for NSW when it matters.

2021 we won games 1 and 2 in a cantor before both got injured and we f**ked if in game 3.

Of course you didn't. That would require you to reflect on the fact that pedantry doesn't make you as intelligent as you pretend it does.

Although to that point, you might expect that a literalist or a pedant would understand the use of the word generally. But on the other hand, you definitely hold to type with your assumption that the number on a players back is the only indicator of their role in the side.

If the worst thing I've done today is word something just imperfectly enough that it opened me up to being told I was wrong by a quibbler's internet avatar, you can rest assured I won't be needing to dig into my reserves of grace. I'm not especially bothered whether anyone agrees with me or not, as long as the discussion is interesting enough. Pedants generally aren't accused of being interesting.

They were spectators. It’s their chance to own a series.

Luai was great last year. Broke the game open when it was in the balance. Thought he was pretty unlucky to have been left out of game 1 this year.

He’s been playing like shit for the Tigers. He isn’t a leader’s arsehole.
Now he’s back with Cleary, he can assume his natural position as the subservient and do what he is told.

Have you considered the possibility that Luai isn’t shit, but your club is?

lol I am well aware the club is shit. It’s as shit as can be.
Luai is still playing like a turd this year.

The length of your post suggests otherwise

You made a statement, I pointed out that said statement was not really true and gave examples of fact, you had a cry and called me names. Perhaps the internet isn't a place for one as sensitive as you

 

[Gardenia]

Queensland are so loyal they sack their halfback and captain who wasn't even the reason they lost. Farce!

Any ideas who Ratty is who leaked the sacking ?

He kind of reminds me of an old ex-friend of mine back when I lived in Thailand. A superlative linguist, and remarkably intelligent - not in the scientist way, but more a philosopher. I did the wrong thing by him, and regret it at times, but it was 20 years ago and I was foolhardy. He was a devoted Eels fan. I just thought it was interesting that an Eels fan could be so accomplished and exceptional, as that is hard to come by.

Anyway, I'm ranting. Maybe I'm distracted since both my state team AND club team are both going to lose this year.

I don’t know about anyone else but Slater getting rattled like this by something said by Aaron Woods (off all people) on breakfast radio makes me feel the pressure is really getting to him.

And the fact he brought up Paul Green, to try and paint this "woe is me" picture.

He has such a punchable little bitch face too. It's up there with Trent Robinson for Resting Karen Face.

Even if I had no idea who he was and I saw him, I'd be filled with an urge to slap him.

It’s honestly pathetic having to bring up Green’s tragic suicide into a footy argument with Aaron Woods. That’s what’s got to me about this.

Also Slater talking about degrading people when they are vulnerable I wonder if he remembers this little gem

Hope they smash Billy’s pathetic coaching into oblivion , what a manipulative little man

Can’t stand the bloke, what a low life

He's been on tilt ever since Madge's glass houses comment last series.

Spent his NRL playing career getting an armchair ride from the officials and the media, in a sheltered bubble where he was told that people only hated on him because:

a) They're jealous non-Storm fans
b) They're bitter Blues

Then starts his coaching career managing 3 games a year against a bloke who thinks picking Gutho off the bench for a 3 minute cameo is sane (amongst other things). Cue more smoke blown up his arse by the media. It really must be Billy Slater's world and anybody who criticises him IS just a jealous, bitter loser...

But all it took was one series lining up against a competent coach with winning NRL experience for the whole facade to come crashing down. As I type these words, the series is still a live one and already Billy has shown that "Qld pick and stick" is the load of revisionist history bullshit it always was, AND used the tragic death of a beloved former Qld player and coach to try and deflect from the mean people saying mean things about his attitude as a player

They say adversity is a true indicator of character, and I am so glad more people are waking up from the media-induced daze to see the real character of William Slater, at long last...

Seems the love for Billy is strong amongst the bitter blues and jealous non melbourne supporters.

There is so much butthurt in this post
It makes me smile to think of how much he has upset you over the years.
He is rich as well…and has a hot wife .
