You think last year's f**k around didn't interfere with our recruiting? We needed to come up with a new plan mid-year, and the players required obviously weren't available for the right price.

If we're not going to get them for the right price we'll never be competitive.
If we refuse to meet the market with recruitment we could find ourselves in the same predicament as this year...a truckload of cap space and no one to spend it on. This will have more impact on our ability to be competitive than your scenario.

We didn't even know our 2016 cap position until May last year, much less our 2017 cap position. And unlike this year, clubs knew the 2017 cap last year. By May there weren't many players left. The high value ones would have been the first to go.

I reckon we're looking good for next year and this year is looking like a write off. Can you cope with that or are you pissing your knickers too?

You said that last year, the year before, the year before that and the year before that.

Round and round it goes…

So a few months ago BA was the best thing that happened to this club since Ray Price Sterlo and Hayne.

W2L4 in 2017 and he now has NFI ?

The week we lose our FB just before the captains run. We have to pick from the 21 Tuesday list and it forces a re-shuffle to a team already down in confidence.

For mine we showed enough in the Manly and Saints games that he can play tough. We got a touch up from Sharks and Raiders (top 4 sides) and played pretty ordinary vs Tits and NZ. No not a great start but FFS.

Sorry but some of you merkins carry on like good sorts at times. Yes I want to win and no I don't settle for mediocrity.

FMD Penrith are W2L4 as well I guess they have recruited shit have a dud coach and whateverthef**kwhinge is left.

Also, 1 home game so far?

I wanted to be 3-3 coming into the Easter weekend. Kind of a must-win game against the Tigers now I suppose.
Playmaking hasn't been as good as expected, which is sad, but its a long season. Just gotta win a couple of tough games to turn it all around

So when I shoot down every bullshit argument of yours it's circular logic? You f**ken idiots are the ones spouting circular logic:

Whingers: We're shit because of <scapegoat>!

Me: That's not why we're losing.

Whingers: It must be true because we're shit! FFS Pau I'm sick of your circular logic!!!! :gapinganus:
