You refer to me as a hypocrite, a fool and an idiot and I'm taking it too seriously
err ... you being a hypocrite is the basis for the argument, so that's not an issue. i called you an idiot in another thread, and that was obviously in jest. it's not my problem if you misinterpret it.
i never called you a fool, but i can now accurately call you a liar.
:lol:
I have not avoided any of your questions lotm ...
maybe you're not taking this too seriously, because (in the immortal words of john macenroe) ... YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!
i'll limit my previously posed questions to the two most important:
- how is it that when stuart continually selects underperforming hacks in his side it's an
excuse for his failure, but when elliott does it, it's a
reason he's crap?
- how is it that you don't know what role stuart has in signing crap players, but when it comes to elliott, 'the buck stops with the coach'?
i'm not afraid to answer your questions, so here goes:
how a team with a roster such as St.G/Ill can miss out on the finals and/or not get themselves to a GF for so many years
they have a crap coach. plus they have detrimental psychological or environmental factors. at least one of those factors rings true for the roosters, too.
I want to know how a team with arguably the best footballer in the world cant just write their name on the trophy before a ball is kicked
depth? consistency? injury? suspension? the quality of the rest of the freakin' team, perhaps?
obviously, the point you're labouring is that you don't need to have the best players to win the competition - you need additional factors. and i never refuted it - you assumed i did. in some cases, it's a brilliant coach. in the roosters' case, it was a brilliant coaching consultant.
Why cant Wayne Bennett fill the trophy cabinet
because he's stuck in the past. haven't i already answered this?
and why cant Steve Folkes, even after rorting the salary cap to the tune of about 1M not win the premiership
well, the dogs were docked 37 points in that season, their stockpile of talent was subsequently reduced and ... ultimately ... they
did win the premiership.
