Rd8: 8pm EELS v Broncos GAME DAY THREAD @ TIO Stadium - Darwin 21/4/23

[the phantom menace]

You’ve got form mate. You are known to be malicious and dishonest, so forgive me if I assume your motive in this instance rather than trusting anything you have to say.

So whenever your stats are questioned and shown to be tangential or selective - and of no support to the opinions you are trying to push in discussion threads - you'll tap into paranoid victim mentality and start to play the man...?

Can dish it out on here to others but can't take it - and will try anything rather than engage in/admit the deficiencies of your own stat-supported (lol) opinions. or your argumentative but short-fused discussion process about same? How very convenient... and talk about ad hominem .

Carry on champ, though instead of attempting to play some sort of victim, again... a very supportive thread if you need, and/or click to ignore me.

I'm not buying into the mental health conversation - that is a bit beyond me and a bit mean spirited.

However, from my perspective, the continuous contrarian troll positions make it very difficult to read or engage in any meaningful discussion or analysis of Parramatta for Parra fans.

I am someone who has read the forum for over two decades, but only started posting in recent years and you are someone who grates due to your constant trolling of Parramatta fans for your own personal sport.

The latest example is the contention that Josh Hodgson is a better option than Brendan Hands and is justified as a first grade selection.

This is a completely unjustifiable submission and is only put to troll and needle other Parra fans, as the entire NRL community knows this to be ridiculous.

He obviously hasn’t contributed much but he’s had few opportunities to play to his strengths. We have played tough opposition and struggled to control the ball so far this year. It’s good that Hands has come into the 17. I suspect we’ll see better form from Hodgson in the coming weeks. That’s if we don’t collapse with RCG out.

Now if only you'd done that in the first place, instead of trying to wheel out some smelly selective statistics in every thread to hide your opinions behind and protect them from any criticism/discussion....

You'd just be like any other regular poster here, and enjoyable to read .

Like I’ve said a couple of times, I’m happy to engage in discussion about stats/observations/whatever. But when one individual starts chasing me around the forums trying to cash in on a perceived mental health issue I’ll f**king call you out on it. You’re the piece of shit around here, not anyone else who is ‘disagreeing’ with my opinion. Just you.

There's no chasing, when you post (irrelevant stats) in every f**king thread here.

And if you stop blowing up royal about having had your stats/opinions exposed, then I wouldn't have had concerns about your mental state... the above post also highlights some paranoia you might need to get seen to.

(No judgement, but do you drink lots before you post stuff like you did yesterday? It's a bit early to have been drinking much today... Just it's all coming across as a bit unhinged - and again straight to playing the man. Link one and link two if you need them .)

Not chasing c'mon Bartman There must be an Update on the Hayne plane.

You’re not fooling anyone mate.

How can someone who's done 78,000 posts (mostly in strings of dubious statistical inference) accuse someone who's done 4,000 of chasing them around the place?

Last I heard, Hayne is settling in well with his new cellmate and the warders are keeping Bubba at a distance. But there's a Blue Light Disco this Friday, where word is that Bubba wants to share a dance...

 

[the phantom menace]

You’re not fooling anyone mate.

And the whole point of the post-game discussion in this thread is that you and your selective stats/opinions for controversy aren't fooling anyone either...

I think Pou puts a lot of faith in structures. And think Hodgson may come good. Which is possible. If he does he is a far better player then Hands. Issue is he looks very unlikely to.

Any any honest assessment of available stats and evidence supports that Hodgson had played poorly this season/since injuries in previous seasons - and and therefore is unlikely. Even BA's authority figure judgement in terms of decreasing minutes given to Hodgson supports that.

Only a contrary fool with an unbalanced need for anonymous conflict with strangers would attempt to post otherwise.

I don’t think Hands will ever be the player Hodgson was in his prime.

I also don’t think Hodgson will ever get back to the level Hands is at NOW….and he can definitely no longer remain in first grade whilst he attempt to get back there, it’s just caused far too much damage to our season

I thought Hodgson was good against the Storm, and that was round one. ‘Coming good’ has nothing to do with it.

This a hundred times over. Also I pretty much only read the forum. Once upon a time there were people here who had some inside knowledge and attended training sessions and that was what I wanted. Mostly the opinions thrown around are just opinions. However, in forum world I never come across someone who irritated me as much as the bloke you're talking about. His conceit, his rubbishing of others and his lack of passion and abundance of love for hierarchical structure (without question) totally did my head in. Then, I "ignored" him and I've enjoyed coming here again to try and pick up some inside knowledge on the team I've followed for 48 years. Imagine living or working with that pissant person, you'd want to pull your own head off and get someone to shit down your neck just for light relief.

Well said Bartman.

I suppose it would be pretty hard to shit down your own neck.

What an idiot.

Especially if you accidentally pulled your bum off.

You can’t argue with stats mate. They are facts. Probably why they frustrate you so much.
