So you enjoy being wrong and looking like an idiot.
It’s some helpful advice. Take it on board and stop acting like a f**kwit to those trying to help you.

It's petulant bullshit that I don't give a f**k about to be fair mate.

I come on here to express an opinion about my football team not be reminded on some grammatical errors, you all seem to understand what I post, so big woop.

And how am I acting like a f**kwit? LOL, that'll do me.

Lol what?

Counterpoint.

We currently aren't bottom eight with a worse squad than you listed. So it's a pretty long f**king bow to say we'd be going worse with an objectively better squad and the same coach who currently isn't bottom eight.

In fact it's straight up ridiculous.

What makes Storms squad OBJECTIVELY better than ours?

We are not bottom 8 because the Broncos are coached by someone worse than what we currently have... We keep falling back into the 8

What player or players has BA developed at our club?

He brings in players from other clubs and their form goes backwards that is proven...

 

[Bazal]

What makes Storms squad OBJECTIVELY better than ours?

Their Origin players for starters....pretty simple

What player or players has BA developed at our club?

Without even thinking harder than last weeks squad...

Nathan Brown, Clint Gutherson, Maika Sivo, Marata Niukore, Reed Mahoney

 

[84 Baby]

Disagree. Some of those players can't even crack first grade. Hell, they aren't even dominating reserve grade.

I’ll disagree with Pou too. The players we let go are probably slightly better (having gotten more opportunity elsewhere) but it’s not like Twal or Ryan f**ken Matterson make any difference to our current side. They have no leadership. And I’m turning the blame now on our junior system. And when I say blame, I mean “blame”. It’s produced some high quality players over the decades. The problem is it’s produced to many high quality TEAMs, where young players don’t have to deal with adversity of teams being better than them, of how to produce when your teammates slacken off, of finding fulfilment in the tough, thankless things needed to win a game.
Then all of a sudden you’re getting thrown that pressure at a hundred times faster than anything you saw in juniors, you don’t put in, but now you don’t have 12 other superstars to recover your f**k up and because too many of your teammates have the same upbringing, theres no leadership to get back on track.
I think long term either we have to largely stop supporting juniors (unlikely to happen but really the NSWRL should just take control) or have a shorter term plans, which may mean losing highly touted juniors, but if right at that moment we need a more rounded player then bye bye junior.
Basically my point is a lot of our juniors never learnt to lose, and they’re doing all that learning in 1st grade

You shouldn’t start a sentence with “and”

Semi Radradra's manager George Christodoulou has confirmed he will be back to play Cronulla and will see out his contract until end of 2017.

Their Origin players for starters....pretty simple

Nathan Brown, Clint Gutherson, Maika Sivo, Marata Niukore, Reed Mahoney

Well derr - Apart from Smith would any of thoer players improve in our squad? No would be the answer..

Lane/Jennings and now even Fergo's form has declined since being at our club..

Gutherson Manly, Brown Soffs/Tigers Sivo Connabarrabran Stingrays, Niukore Warriors and to be honest his form has gone to shit, Mahoney Bulldogs....
Not a compelling list..

14+ Players are off contract why are none of them being snapped up by any other club??????

Papenhausen - Had one good game at the Storm after not being re-signed by the Tigers and people wanted to sign him up.. We cant get rid of any of our players..

 

[Gazzamatta]

I reckon Lane has been outstanding.

 

[JokerEel]

I reckon Lane has been outstanding.

Was good the first few weeks ( plus when he was at manly ) but now is running into bodies instead of gaps.

 

[84 Baby]

Where the f**k is the full stop, merkin?

I will take your critique of my grammar on board and utilise it to further my posting in the future.

 

[84 Baby]

And here's your full stop, f**kface.

I thought font size 7 would be more impressive.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Was good the first few weeks ( plus when he was at manly ) but now is running into bodies instead of gaps.

He misses Drown for sure but his effort has been first class and he tackles like a bastard. Im a big fan. Id have him in SOO before Crighton.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But I thought:

He's only played two games ffs!

 

[Noise]

He's only played two games ffs!

So should they be consistently good or dominating reserve grade? Because Taka has been neither

 

[JokerEel]

Poor Bulldogs have no chance apparently..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Have they?

When's the last time Mannah and Alvaro combined for 300 metres in first grade?
