If someone like Chins was a fan of my club, I'd probably be distancing myself from his views, not backing him up, but that's just me.
As for Manly in the 90s, they lost the first GF in their run (sound familiar?) and then a little thing called Super League happened where all the merkin clubs (including your scummy club) went chasing money. Not saying Manly deserved to win more than they did, it is what it is. I've been fortunate enough to see my club win premierships on a regular basis my whole life so if we have to endure a bunch of meth heads getting excited for a few years, so be it.
