Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Are you really serious??? Hayne was the sole reason we were shit in 2018? Actually Tits went worse after Hayne left.

Our record since Hayne won the first Dally M is horrendous, but actually pretty decent without him. Of course he wouldn't be the sole reason but I reckon he's an extremely negative influence, at least at our club where he feels like top dog.

He seems like a catalyst that makes things much worse, while not being specifically bad himself.

Those last 4 pages hurt my head.

That what Coleman prob said.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What if we average the scores in our games against the Storm?

We were discussing our results in big games, meaning the last two.

That has been our problem for years, our lack of mental fortitude, to be able to grind out a match. In the early 80's we had it in spades. Was it the coaching or the players? Maybe both. All I know is that once Ray Price retired our ability to grind diminished.

So if its the players, and I believe they have the most influence, who'll be the player in our team next year able to keep the team focused when the going get tough? Mr nice guy, Gutho, or a hard nut like Nrown? Or someone else? Because up to now we've lacked that leader so can one be manufactured? Thoughts?

I think we have the right personalities for it, they are just very inexperienced compared to the leaders at the top teams.

He's the best player I've ever seen, proving it's a team game.

 

[Oscarman]

good call but Lars takes the mantle for the men, I'd say its between him and Ringo

Lars is f**king terrible. Meg White belongs in the Norks thread (those tiddies).

Has Matterson signed yet? Where is the announcement FFS?

I’ve heard this same assessment from people within and outside the club.

Pou for once is on the money.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Let's throw him down a flight of stairs.
Coleman style.

He normally does it himself most nights after a bottle of Kraken.

Quit crawling up his arse you sycophant!

 

[hindy111]

What is with us letting juniors go AMD them signing them for overs

Quit crawling up his arse you sycophant!

The fact he threw in the word once makes me think it was more a dig.

Is there some reason why a bloke can't be a nice guy, and a good leader?

Cooper Cronk is a good guy, and a brilliant leader.

Why is being a nice guy seen as a bad thing?

Because morons equate shouting with leadership. See the Cayless hate comments a few days ago.

Agreed.

Nathan Cayless was an outstanding leader - certainly good enough to lead New Zealand to a World Cup title.

I think people see the likes of Allan Border, and have a picture of a grumpy, "I don't take losing well" prick as being a good leader - but leadership encompasses many different areas.

Pins in the Penis split up after the lead singer went to prison for assaulting the drummer with a dildo.

The remaining members formed Thumb Tacks in the Sack.

My personal favourite is "Rockets In The Arse".

Speaking of shouting, I always get shouted at for saying it but AB was actually quite a poor leader a lot of the time IMO. See Dean Jones almost dying in India while AB withered him even more with comments about being soft.

He was just exactly the kind of personality Australian cricket needed at the time. He dragged people with him and he was pretty good at getting the most of a player, but he was also ruthless even in terms of his own teammates and that's not leadership.
