This is why clubs spend so much on leaders.

Yes, I think you're right. They recognise that choking can be a problem, so they need leaders to try to address it. But still very difficult in a team sport.

But us coming fourth probably indicates that our squad was ideal for this tournament.

4th? ... we came 3rd ffs

 

[lingard]

4th? ... we came 3rd ffs

Even more ideal.

4th? ... we came 3rd ffs

That's not too bad considering we were favourites...

We won half our games.

Choking implies the losing team was more responsible for the result than the winning team. It's a f**king dumb term. Teams lose because the other team played better, often because they had better leadership, usually because they had better players.

But having less quality or leadership in your team doesn't mean you choked. It just means you weren't good enough. There's nobody to blame for that. Give the winners their due.

What about when the other team plays better because your players played shit, because they're deadshit looser chockers!!!?

We'll agree to disagree, then. I think 'choking' - or making mistakes and losing confidence under a lot of pressure - is a very real thing.

Such great teams I've never heard of them.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don't know. Why don't you tell us and elaborate on the point you're trying to make?

And I think it happens to every club

 

[lingard]

And I think it happens to every club

Absolutely. Can (and does) happen to any team.

 

[lingard]

I don't know. Why don't you tell us and elaborate on the point you're trying to make?

I don't know either. Was asking you.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well I don't know or care. Why aks me when you can look it up?

The Rorters also won half their games. They beat the woeful warriors and got annihilated by Penrith.
Scum lost both their games scoring 3 tries total

How would you measure each of their performances on the average dipstick?

They barely went over my ankle.

Then again maybe I’m not average

 

[lingard]

We won half our games.

Given the nature of the competition, I don't think that's relevant. Something along the lines of too small a sample size.
