This is from the western weekender.

It always seems on the money about rumours and stuff.

http://westernweekender.com.au/2018/08/masked-panther-unravelling-the-griffin-rumours/

The Soward article was for the same paper.

Let's see. Compare the way Gus handled it on 100% Footy compared to that Soward article.

Gus read like a discussion. Soward read it was the only reason for such things.

We aren't falling behind due to attack. Our soft defense is behind it. Hence why I asked about defence coaches earlier. Outside of WT, Dragons and Warriors games we have left in soft tries

After Cleary went down. Maloney said he said to the coaches we need a simple game plan to win games without him.

That simple gameplan allowed guys to fill in well when covering for injuries.

Now though every side needs to lift a gear or 2. We need to also adapt. Can we do that is the question.

Having played under Griffin he'd know what his style is. Especially as a half.

Girds got flamed last year on this forum for speaking his mind (and being completely right) about our club.

If we can't cop his opinion then the Milkman doesn't stand a chance.

Anyone who bags Griffin or the club must hate us according to the brains trust round here. The most sensitive sports fans in the world.

Yes I know they are from the same paper. Different writers though. I stand by what I said.

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. You said the Western Weekend is reliable. I don't read it. So taking your word for it I can only give both articles some credibility for being published by them.

When Girds got the character assassination I got pretty angry. He didn't deserve to be talked down. He's one of our best ever players.

By you're reasoning no-one but no-one is entitled to offer a differing opinion to your's ?

'Brains trust' Oh dear you just can't help yourself can you.

The ones from their journos are. I can't say I have seen Soward at the teams training. The journos have contacts

Bullshit, its you and Kilkenny constantly telling me how to post. I never told anyone not to disagree with me.

You guys bag former players if they disagree with you and question their motives, its really sad.

"the news paper article that supports my views is legit, the one that doesn't is not"

Yeah its not like Soward played with any of the panthers players or anything, hed have no contacts or no idea about Hook and how he is.

Look at the tries we scored the back end of 2016. Do you think it was boring?

Of course not. We played pretty unstructured on the back of Moylan. We've since lost Moylan due to a rumored falling out with the coach. We've also lost a bunch of those extremely creative players.

It was right on finals time though. You should hear the whinging about refs when he commentates.. All part of him changing

Also the time of year someone who loves the club will be concerned about it since it's when the comp is won.

yes the article mentions when Soward came we played attacking footy. Nothing about the attacking footy we played under Griffin once he left and Moylan wasn't injured. That is the issue with the article.

Compare that to Gus' discussion posted a few pages back. That actually is meaningful and helpful for discussion
