At least we’ve got a fancy Centre of Excellence…I’d be changing it to the Centre of Average.

I question your first sentence but agree with everything else.

P.S. I think you’ve mentioned Smith 117 times in case you were wondering. I’m not sold on him but he’d be better than trolley boy.
I wonder if they have approached Smith and he actually doesnt want a role.
I was offered a job once that everyone on an internet forum wanted me to have, but I didnt want it.
That didnt stop the forumites bagging the company that offered me the role for not hiring me though.

Maybe they have asked him and he's knocked them back, maybe the club doesn't think there is a problem in the junior ranks are happy with the staus quo. Maybe they might get Captain Rankin to look after the juniors as well anything to save some cash 🥸

I heard Smith said "F**k of merkin".

If you put the Titan's bye in, then once again we're up against the team currently running last on the ladder.

Who knows how this mob is going to go tonight. You couldn't back them with stolen money.

If we had better pathways we might not have such a shithouse bench.

The depth of our squad is appalling.

Surely we can agree on that?
Did you see the benches I posted from the top 4 sides? They’re pretty gash as well. The whole depth issue is a cop out.

An old ex Bobby Pommy mate would say "I wouldnt back them with dust bin lids".
How true.

It's definitely a factor in why we are shit. Only a fool would try and suggest our pathways and depth couldn't be improved. Not saying this as an excuse for BA either. He's part of the reason why it isn't good.

I am absolute meh when it comes to this game.

have not had an ounce of excitement that it’s game day, didn’t put my jersey on this morning which is a game day tradition for years.

it has now got to the point where I don’t expect anything from the team, as that’s better than being disappointing at full time

Only losers wear Parra Jerseys in public.

I never got into jerseys. Just prefer to go to games in normal clothes. When I was younger I'd wear them. And it was always a target for other fans to abuse you if they won. Not interested in that.
Not that I attend many games. Much prefer to sit on my lounge and watch it or at the local.

I have a 2001 jersey, I keep hoping I'll show up to a game and be the only person wearing one. There are always a hand full around.

Have you considered taking up alcoholism?
