Rd.25 v Raiders

[Aliceinwonderland]

Are people not allowed to ride the highs and lows. On game day im a total wreck haha should've seen me pacing the lounge room and carrying on during the 2023 gf.

This is more (at times) than riding the highs and lows of games. It's when the almost 'death riding' of individual players take place.

Referring to a player as a 'spastic' in my mind is more than a bit over the top.

The idea of dropping Dyl (for Laurie of all people) because he's made a few mistakes, including misjudging a Fogarty spiral, is laughable to the point I'm sure it has to be a wind up.

It's too late and we don't have any options. What we can do is remove Dylan from trying to ballplay. Half his errors can be eliminated right there.

The one on Dylan was fine he jumped like a spastic.
The ignored tackle on Jenkins earlier was ridiculous though

If you think Chins saying that Dylan jumped like a spastic is fine and amusing. I can't help you.

Obviously you've not worked with either children or adults with additional needs.
In general society using the word 'spastic' when describing an able bodied person is demeaning.

I'm sure I've spoken about the usage of this word before.


I will keep calling it out.

Two words you need to remove from your vocabulary

genius (or the r-word), and spastic are words which have historically been used to describe people with a disability but here’s why we need to stop using them.

If it offends you then it's a you problem

Wow what a comeback.

The word used in the manner which you used it is grossly offensive.

Its the most wild notion I have seen expressed on this forum in a long time.

In 7-8 weeks Dylan will probably be playing fullback for Australia. A healthy dose of perspective is needed.

He'll never play rep footy again

 

[Fangs]

Both statements are equally true right now. We dont know the future.

But we have a WC to prepare for. Players are committing to other nations. Ponga is injured. Tedesco shouldn't be near the Kangaroos tour squad if we are being serious about the WC next year. Options are slimming down.

Jenkins playing wing for Australia is less outrageous than saying Edwards will never play rep football again.

 

[isaiah]

I dont really mind who we play in w1. As long as we're in Sydney. I think we have the field covered, including the Roosters and an injury hit Broncos. W2 we'd want to get whoever finishes 4th though.

It'll be tough, but no tougher than 2021 with everyone playing busted.

2021 was a very weak competition. But karma descended this week

I am with Chins here. IDK if people are offended. Your or anyone else's 'offense' is not a weapon for you to suppress anyone else's expression. God I am generally tired of the so called Wokeness that has crept into society over the last 15 or so years.

Troll elsewhere please. This is sacred ground.

The best side of the decade to miss out on a premiership was the 21 Storm. Far better than any other team we have faced since.

It isn't your so called 'wokeness' or anything like that. It's plain old fashioned human decency.

I'm in my late 60's.....for as far back as I can remember calling another person person either a 'spastic' or a 'genius' *This word has been changed, it starts with an R has been frowned upon. It's not new.

It's about being respectful to another human being.

We don't want him dropped. In fact we want the word drop as far away from dyl as possible

Love the play on words.

Being serious he's often dafe as houses but can have patches of bad form. Just gotta hope it's out of his system.

He's not perfect, but pretty close. Mr consistent with 1 or 2 bad games a season.

Just send him over to GWS and let Toby Greene give him some tips.

Id say that is Dyls 6th shit game of the year being conservative, he had at least 4 at the start of the year where he was dropping everything. He needs to do better, he isnt an underpaid Fb anymore he is on big money. Fair enouggh a player isnt going to star every week but he at least has to do his job, you cant be making late second half errors two weeks in a row in games that went to golden point. I count 5 over those second halves, that is crazy. f**ken do you your job and dont drop the ball multiple times, you cant be one of our highest paid doing that shit.
