Redneck Redfaces

It's all very well to make a good soup, but it doesn't matter that much. The question is, can you reproduce it when the pressure is on? It's like blitzing 'My Kitchen Rules' all year and then falling apart in the final when the best judges are there, and mistaking sugar for salt, or buggering it up when the Queen pays the restaurant a visit and poisoning the poor bitch. Donuts Bellamy has already shown in the SOO arena he can't produce the vittles when there's a real hunger, and his only chance in the real world is to cheat and have a better selection of ingredients than the other chefs.
He may go off like an egg in a microwave, but come finals time he's more the frog in a blender type. Sure he's realised that you need to substitute lobsters for yabbies to hang on to the three main ingredients, even if they have to be poached from under the table, but he's only any good in the slow cooker contest of the qualifying rounds. Come the pressure cooker finals, and he melts like butter in a hot pan. It's how you present the main course and dessert that defines your culinary exploits, the soups a starter only, no matter how good the palate cleansing sorbets are. People will forget the first course fast if the main tastes like shit.
Those that mistake the soup for the main need to get out more. Man can not live on soup alone, and I suspect that when the heat gets turned up in the kitchen Donuts and the Krispy Kreme gang will be disching up jam filled centres again at best. Don't expect foie de gras from this mob. After all, one mans fish is another man's poisson as they say.

Interesting that you say the Storm can't handle big games. Does that come from watching mkr which is about as ridgey didge as world championship wrestling . . . something you would follow I'd imagine. Denigrating Bellamy's record at Soo level also shows ineptitude. You can suggest another coach that may get Nsw within a few points of winning a series no doubt . . . maybe if we remove Bellamy's proteges. Even then I doubt it

Isn't the pressure on the whole season? Afterall if you don't pass the taste test & get into the top eight your guests have left the diner. Anyway you look at it this is a prolonged test where a couple or more fails means no repeat customers.
If you mean the final test when the judges are sitting waiting for their meal...I think you missed the part in Popeye's analogy where he said the 3 main ingredients are part of the recipe but not all of it and the rest have been / are being perfected and the head chef won't need to change them. Re the highlighted bit - think he's proved otherwise so far, the rest we'll wait and see.

If I hang in here long enough this thread might attract more like you. At least when you disagree with me I might take notice

Seems Kearney might soon drop the nice guy act. Hopefully he'll lose that patient demeanor which irritates me no end. Time to drop, kick arse, fine or disregard imo. He couldn't do any worse than pulling blokes out of park footy at the moment.

Somethings gotta give and knowing the head of the river mob it will be the coach so what's he got to lose. Fire up man.

Again we hear of Mullen touted as brilliant. From a Qld point of view I would say bring him on . . . especially when the criteria for picking him is a performance against the Eels. In the same breath they were called dispicable

 

[Mr Fourex]

If the Eels do sack Stephen........do you think another NRL club will want him

....ever?

 

[BunniesMan]

Jason Taylor and Brad Fittler would say no.

Sorry didn't get back to you earlier, been out watching a movie about salmon fishing. I think you'd like it.
Not a fan of MKR at all actually, just analogous I thought. As for World Champoinship Wrestling, was a huge fan as a 7 year old. Closer to 57 than 7 now so no, don't partake. Thought it was long gone in fact.
Didn't denigrate Bellamy's SOO record at all, don't have to, speaks for itself. Donuts all round, proof of the pudding being in the eating and all. Ricky's not a protege of Donuts is he? Got them within a few points last year I thought. Too easy, give me something more testing.

Re the highlighted part - not yet.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Bellamy has done it already....ffs

They weren't rorting the cap when Bellyache first put that team together. They were a bunch of discards that no-one else wanted (Broncos didn't want...sigh)

So he couldn't turn a pack of pea hearts re: NSW team into a winning combination. He can hardly be blamed for that. He's not GOD. Not even Gould wanted to work with the lot Bellamy had.

He is a very good coach and only a moron would deny that he wasn't

 

[bottle]

Mr. Fourskin and Donuts. Now there's a disturbing image, surprised you don't already have a jpeg of it.

 

[Cloudsurfer]

Re the highlighted part - not yet.

Hence the "...so far" and "we'll wait and see"

 

[NZ Warrior]

Let's hope so. I said before the game we needed a signature win against a good team, we got it. If we manage to leave New Zealand with the 2 points we'll be 4-3 with an easier stretch of games coming up and 2 good wins against expected top 6 teams in our resume. We might just be taken seriously after next week.

The Warriors can pretty much give you the 2 points now, if you like.

If the Rabbitohs don't beat the Warriors this Sunday, your season is over.

Not sure what you hope to achieve in this thread bottle. Must be obvious to you that I intend to confine my posts here in the future. How can you imagine that cyber bullying, or rednecking as I call it, will get you anywhere other than being sent home with your tail between your legs . . . as I always do to rednecks.

Now, if you or anyone else wants to engage in serious discussion, good natured piss taking or light hearted banter you're welcome. From this point on I will ignore anything else and I suggest any genuine posters here do the same. Pick a scab and it will never go away

Depends if Warriors finally turn up to play some football or not

Our season won't be over with a loss, but yours will be if you lose. Especially with the run you have coming up, Melbourne and Brisbane. You'll end up 2 - 7 if you don't get the 2 points on us.

 

[Jason Maher]

Geez you rate yourself Pops...

 

[POPEYE]

Geez you rate yourself Pops...

Fair statement with a need for clarity. By 'rate' do you mean I think I should be spoken to with civilty as though I deserved to have an opinion. That's as close as you'll get to catching me with my guard down

 

[firechild]

By 'rate' do you mean I think I should be spoken to with civilty as though I deserved to have an opinion.

I'd suspect you're alone in that opinion. But then I suspect that when you're alone, you're not quite alone right?

How in the f**k could that be obvious? Anyway, if so, which I doubt, thank Christ for that. Saves you polluting every other thread with your dribble. Cyber bullying ffs. Get over yourself. Your cryptic garbage which you try to pass off as wisdom is tripe of the lowest order and doesn't even provide a thin veil to your biases which constantly get trotted out. Carry on with your gibber though if it's to be in this thread alone. Obviously helps to inflate your opinion of yourself, held by few others if any.

Seems Gallop is not as unassailable as he imagined after his Logies winning performance when accepting the RLC as the new power in the game. His knee jerking, or reactionary mode of operandi if you like, doesn't appear to have fooled everyone.

The Titans Affair could be his downfall, especially if the majority of people think the game as a whole shouldn't desert one of it's own without some attempt at solidarity. At least a less pious outlook on his behalf would belay fears of politicking
