What a guru our little Royce is its going to be hard to keep him with those stats

 

[themanonthehill]

Hahaha. They say fact is stranger than fiction and these facts make it amazing that Royce is employed and not smoking the peace pipe down the main st of penriff with the other jobless souls. Johnny Howard should really be using Royce in upcoming election campaigns.

`Australia is going so great, even the feeble, inept, incompetent are employed on great money'

 

[weststigerman]

You forgot the premiership he was defensive coach for in 2005.

Oh wait..
That's a positive, forget I said anything.

 

[themanonthehill]

Won in spite of, not because of royce.
12 years of royce sh*t sort of outweighs the 16 weeks where royce had a side that could tackle don't you think ??

 

[super_coach]

As I have said a million times--2005 the football god was shinning on us
1/The dogs were shot
2/the bronks were walking wounded
3/dragons choked as allways
4/we avoided the eels-cant beat them anywhere anytime
5/we played the cows who we had smashed twice in a short period of time
6/the nrl allowed us to play an up tempo game

for one minute Iam not saying we didnt play well but we had more than our fair share of luck--I dont think Royce had much to do with the win

 

[madunit]

He's consistent hahaha

 

[weststigerman]

I think its pretty clear Royce (or whoever is really looking after defense) has to go, as our defense is absolute rubbish.

I'm just getting tired of reading the same thing with the same lame jokes every thread.

It wasn't funny the first time. We all know whatever is happening in management is not working. We get the message.

 

[themanonthehill]

Right so we should sit idle whilst management continues to make the same f**k ups and employ the same spastics to bring the same sh*t results year after year (2005 excepted). Yep that's how progress is achieved ...

When things are going bad, it's bad.

When things are going good, it's still bad because it's just good luck. :crazy:

Do you really believe that Steve Noyce is checking the LU forum, to decide what to do?

Progress is not achieved by constantly starting topics with lame jokes about our sh*t defense. Blind freddy could tell you there are problems.

 

[madunit]

Noycie wouldn't think like that, he's not that smart

 

[themanonthehill]

Wayne Cousins is pretty clued up though
Or should I say vough
He has the D A R R E N from S O U F S inability to pronounce th

Bump ....

How reassuring to know Mr Defence is casting his watchful eye over the tackling technique of our prodigious 5/8
