Haha, righto mate. You clearly can't explain how it's rational or come up with any worthy retorts to any of it, so I'll leave you to champion the completely rational cause of publicly and vocally disparaging a bloke you've probably never meant based on some gossip....
So who is being irrational now. A sports fan can't have an opinion of a player unless he has met him in person ?

Not at all, you're reading things that weren't said. You're entitled to an opinion. But that doesn't make that opinion rational.

One of your best brain snaps Baz. Time to step away from the interwebs for a while...?

Brain snap? Lol. Not sure you understand the term. I suppose one must actually have a brain to truly understand it.

Because what Jarryd Hayne does in his life affects your life in absolutely zero ways, so what's the point in constantly bagging a bloke you don't even know?

Fair enough to bag a player for how he plays, but unless they are a genuine, proven merkin of a person like, say, Russell Packer, what possible benefit do you get from bagging them personally based on gossip and innuendo? It's totally irrational. But go ahead and believe it's rational if it makes you feel better, I suppose.
Having your opinion isn't irrational. But neither is Gronk's.

There is enough information out there to make an assessment of the situation to inform an opinion of what he is like. Paul Kent's article is just a pimple on a pumpkin and probably won't change any long standing views one way or the other.

Yes but the fact that certain posters will bag off Kent in one breath, and then take his word as gospel when it matches their opinion, was the funny thing.

The irrational stuff comes later. Most opinions are irrational, so I'm not sure why Gronk got so defensive.

He didn't get defensive. He just suggested you were dribbling a bit.

Lol, Bazal questioning why others get defensive... that's funnier than any lazy gif.

Can't say I particularly care enough to get very defensive, I just like to poke fun at muppets like you. Would you like to prove otherwise?

I'll be waiting with bated breath.....lol

It sounds like they have... there's very little incentive to "win" the way modern salary and contracts are drawn up. The average player just needs to make sure they can play for a contract offer/extension when the time comes around.

Hayne would know all about losing though... his win percentage is pretty low, despite (or even because of?) his renowned slackness at training.
These guys are professional athletes. Money decides which club they play for but no chance does it determine how well they play. The vast majority of them couldn't sleep at night if they weren't giving 100%

Ah, realisation that it was hypocritical to claim other people wre irrational is setting in...?

Game set match, thanks Baz - fun as always.
