so what you are showing is a total lack of respect for the players we had last year?? did you read the articles written - did you see the g/f posts?? a great game - and I will not have anyone saying that we ween't the best - we tried hard and damn it even if we had the other Rooster players we would have won anyways - but thats not the point.
Where did I say I
didn't respect anyone who played last year? And who said you weren't the best team?
I have no idea why you said that. This was nothing more and nothing less than a bait thread to get three people to put their hands up for F7's. If they're any good and judging on what I've seen here, they may well be, I don't have a lot to gain, except a couple of grudge matches. It's got nothing to do with what happened last season, last season is only relevant to me because I read a few posts (including the Grand Final posts) to get an idea of what 7's is all about.
Respect isn't something I'm prepared to hand out retrospectively.
Respect is earned and the three mentioned at the top of this thread haven't earned mine. I wasn't involved in 7's last season or the first season and however many were in between and of the posts I did read, I can't recall seeing any from any of the three mentioned. RC now has my respect, however grudgingly it may be given, for putting his hand up. But it doesn't mean I will pander to him and agree with everything he says. It will probably mean a slight easing up of the insults. Besides, you and I both know he thrives on it.

We had a team and I was pleased as punch that they won - but to have someone say that "without their most infamous online supporter would be like having fried rice without those little green shallots that everyone dislikes. No one eats them but they have to be there."
errrr
Re-read what I said, I can't relate it to last year because, and I'll repeat this, I wasn't there. I'd only just joined LU when you played the GF prior to that all I can remember about 7's was seeing threads about it at LWOS and making a comment to Willow about it. The comments made in this thread are based on what I've seen since I joined LU. That particular comment was made specifically in regard to RC and
next season. Honestly, I have more to do with those RC and his cohorts than virtually anyone in your 7's team for next season. I, and others, have been arguing for months with those three and I actually thought, without knowing the history, that they may have something to bring to the F7's table. Maybe that's the salient point.

Crap!! and that's not trying to cry down our first efforts two seasons ago... Must make you guys quiver in fright...nor am i trying to cry down our polayers in that year either .
Huh?
No offence, but you're right off track here.

I also appreciate you wrote this in jest but honestly - tell me one article you have written worth reading?? ( I must admit - you will be one of the top players next year)
Sorry, you've lost me now. This was nothing more than what I said, a bait thread for RC and his mates. So far it's worked quite well.
Just relax, no one is here to hang shit on the Roosters F7's team from last season, you won it and I respect that you won it. From what I read 7's is a bloody tough competition to win. You're also forgetting that my captain is one of your team mates from last season. I wanted to join his team out of respect for him.
I don't expect too much from myself but I enjoy it.
