It's the merkins who think Matt Arthur is responsible for his team's results, but also blame the coach for the team's results, who think "a lot of different conflicting things..."

I've made pretty clear I think it's a team game. I don't blame the team's youngest players any more than I blame the coach. I'd say the coach has more influence than a junior player, but he absolutely doesn't have total control of anything.

Is there a venn diagram for what you're proposing... and if so is there any merkin who is actually saying both things at the same time? Or is it just something your conflicting troll mind conjures up for you to argue (or "educate" lol) against?

What do you actually gain from posting such meaningless generalised statements... which you then flip-flop and contradict to serve another imaginary argument (or "education" lol) a few days or weeks later? (Other than the troll's dopamine hit....)

Didn’t you make up that stupid “win percentage before age of 21” or whatever it was metric as a measure of how good a young player is? Make up your f**king mind, you stupid contrary merkin.

I made up that statistic to take the piss you dopey clown. But if it does have any actual relevance, it's for older players, to describe the quality of a player's career. A guy who played 200 NRL games but lost most of them probably bounced around some shitty clubs (or stayed at one for a decade) where there wasn't much competition. It's not the same as some merkin who played 200 games in strong rosters where he played in a high proportion of wins.

Regarding young players, WPYSA18 is into the territory of small samples. This is why it's inherently speculative to judge youngsters, whether positively or negatively.

You are such an obnoxious, stupid f**king merkin. An utter blight on this forum. And incredibly arrogant for someone who is a really deeply ignorant and stupid person.
