I had the same 'moral' concern re Flano. I did some background research which assuaged my concerns (I don't intend to reopen the subject). I also agree re the Hunt review. Someone (not you) posted that Deano fixed Flano's mistake by giving Hunt a good rogering, which is obviously a biased and nonsensical assumption. I generally try to ignore such risible mutterings but there is a point where some assumptions tumble into simple falsehoods. I'm a 60+ years supporter also. You probably beat me up on the field when we were whipper snappers.So it's all right for you to use "scoop" when referencing others but OK to take offence when it's directed back at you lol.
Holmes manager reached out to Easts which is a very different scenario to Easts reaching out to him.
I say the same thing applied with Gutho & Manly.
Re being obtuse if you want to dish it out just cop it on the chin when it comes back.
The debate is purely about people's differing opinions on certain subjects heaven forbid we all start holding hands singing Kumbaya.
If people didn't post their assumptions, views, thoughts, aspirations, differences then we would all be doing something else other than spending time in here.
For me part of the annoyance of this place is that when certain individuals who wear their hearts well and truly on their sleeves and do post regularly get accosted / set up on by those that very rarely post let alone put up an original thought but rather just pile on when the brouhaha starts and then retreat crying foul when they cop a bit of flack.
Re the Hunt issue IMO if it was any less than a huge bollocking then who ever was in the room giving the review failed badly.
I have been following the big red v for well over 60 years and have seen lots of highs and horrendous lows and during that time I have been highly critical of players, coaches, office bearers as well as being wax lyrical for those I really enjoyed and in the end I have never let that stop me from following the only club I have ever supported.
The S F appointment drove me close to giving it all away but in the end even that issue is not bigger than the club or the supporters so I have had to allow my moral compass to be a little out of whack.
But what is there to explain? You puffed yourself up like a cane toad all about how your famous moral compass could not allow you any longer to comment here, then five minutes later, you were back here commenting again.2. My reappearance on the forum was explained long ago and if you had read that you wouldn’t be questioning it but if you have read it your either a dumb merkin or just a straight out merkin.
Two wing spots to be shared between Tui, Sloan, Finau, Allan, Rava, Lawson...anyone else?Tuipolotu seems to be popular among the boys and brings a massive energy, he has 1 wing spot on mortgage. I would have never thought our 2025 side would have Gutho,Holmes and Cookie. We are gonna be a scary team next year, Loko pasifikai tonga will be the next Hass. Big unit and has a close relationship with Sua and Sele based on the tiktok videos and behind the scenes. I haven't been this excited for years
It's exciting, been years since we have this much depth and competition for spots it can only benefit the teamTwo wing spots to be shared between Tui, Sloan, Finau, Allan, Rava, Lawson...anyone else.?

He is one of the reasons I think Flanno is not in a hurry to find a middle, LPT to debut this year in a big way.Tuipolotu seems to be popular among the boys and brings a massive energy, he has 1 wing spot on mortgage.

As I said you’re just being a f**kwhit now and happily donning the merkin crown.But what is there to explain? You puffed yourself up like a cane toad all about how your famous moral compass could not allow you any longer to comment here, then five minutes later, you were back here commenting again.
If Captain Bligh's ship's compass had been as flawed as your "moral" compass, he would have ended up in Antarctica instead of Indonesia, you hypocritical clown.
My money is on Sloan and Lawson being our most favored NRL wingers in 2025.Two wing spots to be shared between Tui, Sloan, Finau, Allan, Rava, Lawson...anyone else?
There will come a time when we cut Ravalawa under a deal he can accept. Lawrie will be on trial but if he can't cut it will get the same treatment.I feel Finau will be moved on as we cannot seem to move Ravalawa we have too many wingers in my opinion.
Why is it for other clubs, players in particular Terrell May and Jock Madden get tapped and made public that they can basically piss off when they have two years under contract remaining. With us, it's so hush hush behind closed doors to not hurt anyone's feelings.My money is on Sloan and Lawson being our most favored NRL wingers in 2025.

Maybe some clubs have better legal people than ours or May and Madden breached their contract while Ravalawa and Lawrie didn't.Why is it for other clubs, players in particular Terrell May and Jock Madden get tapped and made public that they can basically piss off when they have two years under contract remaining.

With Festivus not far away, maybe we need an ‘Airing of Grievances’ thread?1. I am not sure that discussions of the covid vaccine are welcome on this forum.
2. You misunderstand my position. A lot of people would say that a man who is sincere and not a hypocrite does not grandstand about his moral superiority and undertake to never post on a forum again, but then in the blink of an eye creep back onto the forum and start posting again.
I used to think that a sincere man - a man who really believed what he is saying and was not just prancing and posing on the internet like a skirt admiring herself in front of the make-up mirror - would ACTUALLY DO WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO!
But apparently not. You have shown me that that is not so. Thank you so much, Oh Moral One.
The wing spots are the most intriguing for me. Just listening to Flanno talk about Lawson indicates that once he adapts he’s almost assured 1 spot. Definitely puts pressure on the other guys especially young Sloan as we have so many options now.Tuipolotu seems to be popular among the boys and brings a massive energy, he has 1 wing spot on mortgage.
