Keep Mary

[Old Timer]

I can’t remember giving to anyone, as you put it, at any time at all. Just take your prescription lollies and that will stop you head butting the bedroom ceiling in the middle of the night

Get your hand of your dick while you look at the table as it is a long way to go and I am yet to see anything to say we will be better off at the end of the year than we were last year.
Yes I know it is only a 3rd the way through, so who really knows what lies ahead but what I do know there are some alarming trends re the bench, blooding players and rotating our key players to manage the huge workload and if you look at the last 3 years you too will see the similarity if you are completely honest with yourself.
If Mc Fookknuckle changed his ways and used the bench better and really blooded the young players, I would not be anywhere near as critical and in fact would be much more relaxed about the road that is in front of us.

Top 4 even after leading 1/3 of the way is still a great result. If Mary can guide us through a tough Origin period as well as any injuries we might face and still manage Top 4 I'll be very happy

I am starting this thread because I honestly believe this. For the following reasons
1. Like many other clubs he had a new half, 5/8 combo to coach. Ours have been the most successful, easily. It is common knowledge that he persuaded Hunt to come to the club, after all Hunt could have gone where he liked and got the same money.
2. He has got the best out of Vaughan and Sims.
3. People on this forum wanted him and Millard gone when they refused to give Dugan what he wanted. He and Millward were right.
4. He has had the balls to admit he is still learing the role.
5. People who have forgotten more about football than any of us would know, Phil GOULD, believe he is doing a fantastic job
6. Lastly but most importantly, look at the players concentration at half time in the sheds when he is talking. They take in every word he says. Vaughan, Frizzell and Sims idolise the guy.
O’Kay I am ready for it. I have my Ned Kelly body armour on, give it to me both barrels

I agree with all your points - Mcgregor has the respect of the playing group - they have all bought into this "the team before the individual mentality" - I think if they make top 4 which should be a lay down from here he should be extended by another year.. At least.. It proven this far that the so called super coaches like Green, Robinson can't do much better w supposedly better rosters.. Mcgregor has one thing that other coaches don't have - he plays "the honesty card" - I'm not the greatest coach but if we play like this we will succeed - and the players love a coach that's not a pumper!!

Nothing less for me ....

Can you please inform me when any other coach who missed the semis in the last three years mage the GF the next year. Not only that, the other intelligent points I put in paragraph has gone straight over your head. I am not surprised

You just don't get it do you.
You make the argument which coached who missed the semis bla bla bla all ridiculous excuses.
The question is why didn't we make the semis the last 3 years because if we had we would be better prepared to win the comp?
Considering our starts in 2016 / 2017 do you think a good coach would have missed the semis or screwed it up as bad as Mc Fookknuckle did?
By the way we did make the semis in 2015 so please re-adjust your armour as you don't really want to get shot do you?

If you read the posts from yesterday there is not one young player, mayb the hooker that is worthy of 1st grade call up. I wasn’t there there I am going on what I read

ISP will provide match fitness at best and little else.
We have an even worse coach leading that lot and they are a genuine rabble as a result of that, combined with Mc Fookknuckle holding players in the top grad and not using them and then making some play in 1st grade and then have them back up in ISP the next day.
Host & Sele have done very little wrong in any 1st grade time they have played this year or last, however Mc Fookknuckle who clearly doesn't know how to mould them and blend them into the top grade will continue on with the power game and ensure that our key forwards will be the least fresh of any of the top sides come the end of the season.
No doubt people will come up with the "they are fitter this year" line and as usual they will ignore the facts.

Which coach in his right mind would blood youngsters unless there was a need to due to injuries when they are trying to stay on top of the Comp! You saw what happened when he gave Leilua a chance the dope dropped the ball twice that ended up in tries for the opposition and demonstrated no discipline through out his displays. Mcgregor has blooded Sele, Host and tried Leilua - he can't do much more than that at this crucial stage.. And who would you blood currently and which player would you drop from the 17 to execute your grand plan!! Stop the crtisism and look at the cold hard facts.. We are winning the comp and have been since round 1 - we have the best attacking team, the best forward pack, statistically the 2nd best team in metreage and the most disciplined team in the comp w the least penalties .. Why are you looking at the negatives when there are none at the moment ! You are very divise and a supporter that would most probably enjoy our losses more than our wins.. I don't get what you stand for - let the team go through its paces and enjoy the ride.. I can't recall one positive post from you except some meek comment of how Mcdonald is performing beyond Expectations - but the blind man could see that ...

Well obviously you don't read very well as you have failed to see the positivity I have posted so best you go back and read them all.
You and others fail to see that people like me do actually enjoy the ride but our optimism is tempered by the cold hard reality of what has happened the past 3 years, when we have been in nearly identical positions.
You already know I would drop Latimore so don't bother to ask again and re blooding the younger players I would have them playing a lot more than 0 or 7 minutes as has been the case this year for Sele & Host.
You refer to LL and I agree I wouldn't have had him there in the 1st place but to lump his poor performance onto the shoulders of all other young players is ridiculous on your part.
Funny how you have no faith in changing what we are currently doing and whilst i like what we are currently doing (result wise) I have no faith that is sustainable and in both scenarios the younger players are at the heart of it and there is no doubt that other clubs and coaches seem to be able to get the younger players into the top grade and keep them there and we are clearly unable to do so.
So is it just that our young players are all useless or is there something deficient in the way we do it?.

Thankyou you have said what I said in paragraphs 4 and 6

 

[Alec's-saints]

Wow another insurance policy holder.
You want to give it to people who express caution and then you say we should make top 4 what a laugh.
Have a f**king go and put your balls on the line you whimp as you have been dishing plenty out to people that don't agree with all the love and self belief you have been posting.

fk off you negative flog. go back to your closet

 

[Frank Facer]

They don’t have to pick me up I know how to get there. Food there is quite tasty.

I have a mate who rang Life Line one night. Shortly after he got off the phone, he received a knock at the door. Two guys in white coats and his brother were there and they took him away to a psychiatric hospital. He only rang them, because he wanted to talk to someone about his problems. lol

 

[The calm one]

So you do t think Host or Sele are worthy

Please read what I stated I wasn’t there. I am going on what people have stated here. And I will throw another spanner in the works. Lattimire goes o Kay

I could see that we were going to be better off at the end of this year, than last year, before the season started. We are the form team of the comp. Our forwards are going better than any other pack in the comp. Our halves are the form pair of halves in the comp.

Those who have eyes shall see.

Remember we started 15 and 17 off as one of the favourites for the spoon. We certainly were not expected to make the semi's those years. i didn't expect us to make the semi's those years, did you?

Me negative and for all your belief and positivity the best you can come up with is "we should make top 4" and to top it off you have said the next 5 games (including the Roosters game just played) are all easy.
No doubt your 50c for us to make top 4 really lowered the bookies odds.

I don’t like LL as a player personally but I have not lumped his poor performance on anyone. Take the red one’s, put the bong down and go to bed. Watch the ceiling it may come out and bite you
