I have actually justified it. In the past, you have used terms of endearment towards me. I was wrong in calling you what I did. I am sorry.

Please everyone can't we all just move on, all of us (and yes me included can be a pain in the bum at times). Remember we all support the same team, and perhaps we should all grow thicker skin (ME INCLUDED, especially me included)

Now in the best words of Frozen.......................'Let it go'........

I can, I am unsure if others can. By the way, that song grates on me.

I'll try and explain in the hope it helps the forum.

Take the discussion around Aekins. I just thought he was trash. Couldn't stand him in the team really. Some good counter comments later with facts to back them up and I've revised my opinion and hope someone picks him up. I still think we have better though.

I agree with you 100%.

 

[WestyLife]

I agree with you 100%.

Awesome. Glad we worked out the value of facts.

 

[soc123_au]

Facts, apparently, have no place in discussion...

That, and I've worked with Infantry soldiers for f**k sake, is the dumbest, most idiotic thing I have ever heard. It is literally beyond stupid.

Made me chuckle the "infantry soldiers" comment. I was in the para artillery and our nickname for them was "CB's", short for concrete blocks. Nuff said. Mind you, there were plenty of blokes in my regiment who would have done well to get to CB status.

I'm an ex grunt. What are you cock wombles trying to say?


Oh, and respond in short sentences for me please?

That's what pogos are for. I must have picked some of it up. Phones & computers arent as much fun as Claymores, Steyers & GPMG's though.

GPMGS are great until you have to carry one in full kit on a ten mile bash. I complained when I was given it to carry. "Oi, long shanks swap with scouse you can lug the GPMG". As the words "FFS Sarge, I always have to lug the heavy stuff" left my lips, I knew I had f$%ked up. He replied "you are right. give it back to scouse. Jones, give him your Charlie G". I was then handed a 14.2kg Charles Gustav anti tank launcher to carry for ten miles. i learned to shut my mouth after that. To be fair to the Sergeant, as a reward for lugging it I got to fire it at the ranges and it is quite satisfying watching an 84mm round punch a hole through some armour. Like watching Staines slice through the Sharks defence. A knife through butter.

I had a hard on for a few days after I fired Carl G for the first time. And it never got old. The 66 was a bit of alright too. Carrying the gun was fine, better that being number 2 & the spare barrel clocking you in the back of the head every time you hit the deck. Same as no 1 rifleman back in the SLR days carrying the M79, that f**ker hurts when it hits your skull.

Damn I only got to fire the Steyr with the navy.

I've just watched on twitter a new video by the club.

Gee they are the leaders in this type of thing. Showing how things happen. It's Liam signing his contract. His mum on the line giving great insight into Liam growing up.

The club does all of this so very well.

(if someone could upload it, I'm not great at those types of things thanks)

The Wests Tigers are constant whipping boys for finishing ninth on the table, but a look back at the NRL era proves just how justified the criticism is.

Sitting in ninth position would certainly feel familiar for Wests and their fans; No team in the NRL Era has spent more weeks in ninth position than the Tigers. Since entering the competition in 2000 they have spent 61 weeks one spot outside of the top 8 - eight more than Canberra despite playing two less seasons. Almost half of those (26 weeks) have come in the past five seasons, with the next most being the Panthers and Sharks both spending 12 weeks there.
