I get it, you define anyone you don't like as a Karen. That's just Normal modern trolling - when you can't win an argument then attack the person and not what they say!

Mainly because what you are saying is proven to be wrong, and not only wrong but incredibly dangerous. Telling blokes with mental health problems to toughen up is pretty sht house tbh, calling you a Karen was one of the nicer things I could have said!

i thought you was just a dckhead until this rant, then I realised you are in fact a Karen.

Men have suffered throughout history. Vast empires have been built and destroyed on the back of brave men's backs, Slaves and navies have risen and fallen as have kings and their armies. Young men have seen catastrophic destruction and taken incredible physical beatings as a matter of course, as part of their normal lives. Boys have been ripped from their mothers wombs and been put into service to work from the ages of 13 or 14, doing horrible manual labour for long days, every day without ever having a break or no one ever recognising the induvial. Men have been beaten and broken to create the wealth and growth of humanity through ut the world. Pain and suffering have been normalised as a way of life so that there is absolutely no joy in anything any man has ever undertaken by vast empires who control the mindset of generations of men who were never given the opportunity to express even the slightest question or doubt without them being assassinated or made an example of. And you want me to feel sorry for an ordinarily talented half back named Kyle Flanagan being paid over $600k a year to play 2 hours of football a week, because one or two things don't go exactly his way when he wants it?

Fight Man....Fight!

Mental Health problems, Lol. You should see people with real mental health problems, like dementia not just an average half back on $600K a year getting dropped and sooking about it.

I have, I was a mental health nurse for many years. And I know where it starts. You should see someone in so much despair they hang themselves from a tree, and then you have to explain to the wife and kids what happened.

Aww poor widdle Kyle. Got benched and then dropped and choked up at an interview. Suck it up princess, it's a tough game. Perform or f**k off. He was gonna be asked the question whether it was this week or next. Has Nathan Cleary ever cried because he was asked about his Dad? That's why he got choked up. Not because the bad man Trent did what any coach with functioning eyes would've done. It's because a germalist wanted to create a story.

In all honesty I do really feel for him, but at the end of the day, he's had an opportunity now at two NRL clubs and has been bog average, bar for a few moments. That kick out on the full last week, when he had miles of space to dink it into the corner was alarmingly amateur. On the flipside the child that replaced him Sam Walker, looks far more of a first grader. I'm guessing Kyle has gotten this far on his name, but unless he suddenly becomes good, it's not going to continue. Barrett did the right thing for the club.

remember when coaches actually helped players improve? No wonder players love to play under some coaches, they would be the ones who can help you develop and grow your game, not just be the scapegoat for the teams failings,

Like Bellamy helped Croft? Yep, I remember.

I know you’re just trying to stir, but he did take responsibility. The issue is that the Dogs have laid all the responsibility on him, when they should also be looking at themselves in the mirror.

Err, Trent has dropped many players though. He gave Kyle more than enough chance to make the 7 his own. He's simply not up to NRL standard. Being the halfback, he has more expectation than other positions. Would've thought you'd be well aware of that with Ben Hunt. I'd rather the coach make a tough call than let the kid play after doing f**k all to help the team and continue being cellar dwellers.

I thought it was poor form from the media bringing his dad into it which triggered the breakdown.
Hope the young man bounces back, but I'm not sure he'll get the right support at Canterbury. He already was moved on from a club who had the right support. Time will tell.

How did the Roosters give him "the right support"? They told him after half of his two year contract you're not in our plans going forward, basically forcing him to leave a year before his contract ended. He's been benched and dropped from a match at Canterbury, yet there's this hysteria. Roosters are ruthless, win at all costs so it's all good lol. Such hypocrisy.

"I've had a few chats with Bellsa. He's been real good with me. People can think it's all broken down. That's certainly not what it is," Croft said.

"I've learnt so much from him in my four years that I've been here so far, obviously there's a couple of things that he wants me to work on.

"But apart from that, it's not like I didn't play good football this year."

Here's the difference between you and I, i dont blindly defend my club when they're clearly f**king up. There is major issues with the Raiders right now, players are disgruntled, the coach is lashing out like a child and the building is leaking like sieve. They're a shit show. I can admit it. Licking their arse and pretending they're doing wonderfully doesnt achieve anything... so f**ked if i know why you keep doing that with the bulldogs.

No one is saying the guy shouldnt be dropped, Flanno sucks! Dude can't play. It's a fair gamble and it didnt turn out. Hopefully for the dogs sake the Burton gamble does pay off. We'll see.
But there is no way of avoiding the fact that way the dogs handled that is utterly disgusting. What they did him, the public humiliation... it awful. If my club did that, i'd call them out on it.

It’s the way he was made to front the media where the hysteria is coming from. If he just got dropped, like should’ve happened, it wouldn’t have made the back page. Easts didn’t escape criticism either btw with many pundits defending Kyle. At least they didn’t chuck him into the media pit.

it was hilarious, they may as well have locked him up in a torture device in the middle of the town square as like days of old; and spanked him for an hour with the cat of nine tales

And got the media darlings to yell out "Spank him even harder" as they jerked off to it all!

They wheeled him out before he knew he was dropped. The media asked him if he was in the team and he something like "Yeah I think so I havent been told I am not".....then a couple hours later he is dropped.

OK, so they still wheeled him out after he'd been hooked. I don't recall another team doing that, so whether the Dogs think that's a bold new practice that is going to create accountability in their players, I'm not sure.
