A grand final victory is just the result of having a good team and some luck. Any of the recent premiership winners could have missed out with less luck, as did the Broncos, Raiders and Panthers - along with us, all teams to have finished top four in the past five years without a premiership.

I’d argue that these teams lost out to teams with better players and better leaders. That is If I could be f**ked arguing.

 

[Joely01]

Alvaro seems like a potential good leader, cleanskin, works hard (on and off the field) and always puts in 100%.

Reminds me too much of Mannah.

I’d have Gutho as the captain.
And short term have Gower and Mennings helping with leadership.
Moving into the future I’d then put Moses with Gutho

I agree that good leadership is part of a good team.

So we have just been unlucky on my count 10 occasions since 1986. That’s all it is?

You are without doubt the crusader for the unlucky, the losers, the has beens, the maligned and the misunderstood.

At least you are consistent despite your constant use of circular logic. I just don’t know where you get the energy, post after post.

You are special.

Either that or our team wasn’t good enough. My point is that even if your team is good enough you’re still competing against all the other sides whose teams are also good enough. Only one can win and so it comes down to luck.

Refuting all your dumb arguments isn’t circular logic. It just looks like it because you idiots end up back where you started. WITH f**kEN NOTHING!

 

[Avenger]

You have been contradicting yourself for years. Don’t get me wrong I don’t think you are a dumb merkin, just a little strange.

You are channeling Lou Reed there in the second paragraph Avenger... some nice song lyrics!

There are at least two sides to every argument. There's no contradiction there.

Or a Bruce Springsteen or Bob Dylan tune.

 

[T-Boon]

Is the Hayne in the halves a dead experiment or worth another shot if need be?

I'd get Hayne into the five-eight position or the fullback position. We need to get a read on his potential for next season and I think he can make some big plays in either of these positions. I guess we have a look at how Guth goes at 58 and if he is good then leave him there for a bit and get Hayne in at FB.

 

[Avenger]

There are at least two sides to every argument. There's no contradiction there.

But why do you mostly choose the opposite side of the argument, no matter what? You do it nearly all the time and then forget what you said previously and contradict yourself.

"BA is a legend"

"BA should go"

"Hayne is great"

"Hayne is f**ked"

"We will make the Top 4"

"We will get the spoon"

 

[lingard]

And we are also rebuilding yet again.
It’s very exciting.

Personally, I think rebuilding is more exciting. Look, you can win a premiership - and then it's over. All down hill from there. But with rebuilding ............. well, it could go on forever. Go Parra!

Agree

The great Arnie would always say "a good pump is better than an orgasm"

winning a comp is so final/ending. But live game day threads, well, how pumped are we every week???

That’s different. I actually had those opinions at the time. Pou didn’t.

Of course it’s different, mate.

Should we try to sign Kaylan Ponga for 2021?
I think so. He is good and by then will be better than good.

Two years ago I said I’d swap him for French and was laughed at.
