But yes, I have quoted you lingard for the same reason I've quoted Bart. I think the two statements are based on emotion, and f**king yes, I hope you are both proven wrong. Not to rub your noses in it, but because I want us to return to success asap, and I think that so many statements that have been posted here lately have been, imo, influenced by TOO much emotion and have been based on little fact.
Thanks your honesty in addressing this Suity.

I can tell you honestly that there's no emotional basis to that statement you've quoted 0- it's my calm considered opinion on our current situation. I'm waiting for that situation to change, but don't believe Kearney can change it. I respect your right to hold a different opinion, though I wouldn't childishly quote your opinion in my sig, and then claim it must be based on emotions...

That's what shit's me. I know he'll love this, but even Bart claims he know's what financial situation DA is in. Then uses the excuse that it's just a discussion board to cover his bullshit.
The discussion was simply in response to an assertion posted by your "blow mate" :)lol: @ HJ) about DA's employment situation. Poopoo wouldn't know shit about what he claimed about whether DA had received coaching offers, so I was pulling him up with a hypothetical about why DA may have rejected offers. You don't pull up, question or signature quote your blow mate's bullshit hypothetical claims presented as fact, but your over-zealous and selective when doing this to others here (and then you deny any agenda...).

It would be nice if we could all just comment on facts, instead of stuff that would normally be Womans Day front page.
It would also be nice if you were even-handed in calling out everyone here for that, but you don't appear to be even-handed at all Suity (and imo that can be traced back on here all the way to your conduct at the 2008/9 club elections). You may be unaware of how you come across, but your constant denials that you are anything but neutral do ring hollow when compared to your behaviour on here (like making childish sig quotes, and your justification above for it).

Cheers.

That's pretty much as I expected anyway - surprised that Roberts has been publicly dumped to Wenty in advance (and it begs the question, why not last week?). Not surprised that Lasalo comes into the 17 in his place though... and with Reni's suspension I guess Tautai was going to get in above Shackleton given the social media faux pas.

We're really missing Ben Smith and I'd say Justin Horo from this 17 through injury. We'd look a much better side with them in the mix, whether the team performance will be there either way is of course another matter entirely (and entirely in the coach's hands to fix).

I've not turned into a blow machine. I can hire them from Kennards.

f**k me??? That stuff should never even get a mention in here. It's none of our f**king business. But it is used as propaganda and is rarely challenged.

Current Affair/Today Tonight anyone?

My opinion is certainly not based on emotion. I know this Poo Poo fella thinks most people on this forum are idiots who can`t have a rational, logical opinion based on observation, instinct, years of following rugby league, this club, or what have you (and that any 'opinion' we have must therefore be based purely on emotion); but he`s incorrect about that - obviously. And I understand that, from time to time, we ALL base our comments on emotion because that`s what human beings do. But I reckon you`re barking up the wrong tree by thinking that everyone who is calling for Kearney`s head is doing it as a mindless, emotional response. Most of us posters on here have seen coaches fail before. Most of us have a fair degree of analytical ability. Most of us (despite what you might think) are fairly sensible people.
I actually think that resorting to bagging out the players; calling them 'pea-hearts' or 'weak-willed'; emphatically stating that there 'MUST be BIG problems at the club' or a bad culture or something rotten in the club that dates back to Brian Smith, for us to be losing like this, is far more emotional and illogical than just saying that the coach is shit. But, hey, what the hell would I know? And I`m not attacking you or anyone else that doesn`t think the same as me (except for that moron who spends most of his posts calling people merkins and monkeys and idiots because they don`t pay much creedence to his bombastic, 14yr old schoolboy approach). Think what you like, Suitman, but we`re not all idiots.

If it's any consolation, I certainly don't think you are one.
Your opinion is respected highly in my mind.

I reckon if we lose to Canberra then it's time for the coach to be sent to Wenty to be 'rested' and possibly 'find some form'. Brett Cook to step up for the week.

What's good for the goose..................!

As I said before, Suitman; I don`t think many people on here are stupid. I think most people calling for the coach to be sacked are basing their opinion on well-considered observation and analysis - not on mindless emotion.

I think Casey McGuire is a better five-eight than he is a half-back. I also think we need to buy a five-eight for next year.

Im starting to think the people calling for the coach to be retained are basing their opinion on mindless emotion because the stats arent helping them any

Parramatta are expected to use the same 17 players they named on Tuesday but will likely announce a few positional changes before kick-off. Justin Horo trained with the team yesterday and is a slight chance of playing against Canberra, who are tipped to omit Bronson Harrison from their five-man bench.

So if Horo is not a surprise selection for Sunday, then it looks like he'll be back in the mix after the bye weekend :thumn.

Horo has been out for 3 weeks and playing reggies for 4 weeks before that. SK has been rewarding form and Horo has zero.
