Science isn't a court of law. It is the challenger's job to attempt to falsify the theory. You only need to find one black swan but you're asking the other guy to show you every swan and prove they're all white.
Which is why I have always said that he is a dirty racist.

Good news, I reckon he cops a bit of a raw deal by some Parra fans IMO. They expect him to be SBW and taulmalolololololol all rolled into one player.

I agree, i don't really get the hate.

Whineyrulz having a go at anyone who bags a particular person?

People can have an opinion but the fact that a first grade coach continues to pick him and is trying to re-sign him makes me think he offers something to the team and club. Why bag the shit out of him, what does it acheive?

where's the outrage over tepai saying he'll go to rugby eventually?

maybe he needs to change his first name to jarryd or semi

So long as winning a premiership with Parra is part of his list of things he wants to "accomplish in league" before "popping over to union", then he can do whatever he likes as far as I'm concerned!

I wouldn't care if the entire 17 players who eventually deliver us a GF win decide to go with him to union or retire at the end of that game and we have to start afresh the following year - just get that premiership FFS!!!!

Well the difference is that Semi has already determined he is going to union whether they win the GF this year or not and well, Jarryd........he isn't an Eel so we don't give a flying f**k about him!

that looks like dancing around the issue....

the criticism against semi was rife well before he announced he was going to rugby, even before he re-signed his last deal.

At the end of the day, I've never been one of those fans to get their knickers in a twist if players decide to leave to go play union or NFL or whatever, so I don't really care if Tep decides after this deal that he wants to go for a payday bigger than Parra offer him. I was just, somewhat toungue in cheek, saying that I hope one of those NRL accomplishments he referred to before going anywhere was a Parra premiership.

Fire up if you want, but I won't be going on that ride....

It's more that Whiney often has negative opinions on people at the club, that it's rare to read a positive one from him. Plus when people tend to disagree with his negative opinions, he usually berates the shit out of the posters, so it's also funny seeing him wondering why other posters bag particular people at the club.

I for one welcome Tepai re-signing. He certainly wasn't the reason we played shit last week

Well it's not really an issue for me because i don't really care about Semi or Hayne chasing rugby and never have, neither are bigger than the game.

I was just expressing thoughts.

People are probably upset not because Semi or Hayne are chasing rugby but more because of their behaviour. Do you not know Semi's antics last year? And Hayne's are well documented.

People are irrational, it's just the way it is.

Fair point. hiney is just like many of us, he has been completely broken by this club over the last decade. We all express it differently i guess. In this instance i agree with him but i also get your point and i have had many disagreements with him too.

Your reaction was out of character for you i guess, this club has broken us all........still love it though.......

fair comments, but tepai getting himself potentially chronically injured doing non league related activities is as much an "antic" imo.

What? This isn't science, you muppet.

Someone makes a claim, it's not up the person they make the claim to to back up that claim....pretty simple stuff.

For sure, but the rationalisation is that he still wants to be an Eel and wants to win a premiership with us.

I bagged the shit out of Sharp and his crew, was I wrong???

I said Daniel Anderson was not the answer in his role of head of football, was I wrong????

Seward was a clueless idiot and out of his depth and Bolous an even worse appointment, was I wrong????

I said Watmough was a ridiculous signing over 4 years was I wrong???

I said our dummy half stocks are the worst in the League for this season, was I wrong???

I've been wrong about plenty on here and always happy to put my hand up when I am.

I thought SK would be the answer, I was glad Spags got rid of Fitzy and thought he would take the club forward. I thought Ozzy would do a great job as CEO I thought Foran was going to be the signing that won a comp.

Badly wrong on all accounts.

Hiney Dumpty watched the Eels for over 30 years and finally after the 09 Grand Final had a great fall, and all of the Eels players and the Eels wins couldn't put Hiney Dumpty back together again :upside_down:

Except a GF that just may do it, nah I'm f**ked :thinking:

I'm pretty confident a GF will fix all of us, if not at least temporarily for a year or 2.
