Boomers don't expect the younger generations to look at us in awe. We're too busy staying alive so we can deprive you X, Z f**kers of your undeserved inheritance.
Boomer propaganda. Plus viewing it as undeserved inheritance is an indictment on yourself as much as your children

A superstar in a shit side doesn't equate to a plodder in a great side. The reason being that plodders just don't get enough games in great sides. Name one other plodder in a great side with more than 7 wins per season after age 18.

As for Tedesco, he still had 4.4 wins per season (after 18) at the Tigers. But you have to look at his entire career. He is up to 7.7 wins since age 18. You can't discard data that doesn't suit you. You have to look at the lot, that goes for Blake as well as for Tedesco. They have both won a lot of games over a long time. You would be an idiot to call either of them a reserve grader.

I don't recall, Hindy or me calling him a reserve grader mate.

But whatever, if you think hyperbole can win you the argument, go ahead, take your best shot merkin.

I also feel the NRL changing rules once a side has build its squad is bullshit. We had a fast mobile pack which was being monstered and slowly replaced it with big strong powerfull guys. Then this off season they change rules. It will suit the more mobile packs imo. Funny how the Rooster built their pack in a way that suits this style more.
Rules changes like this should take 2yrs to come into effect so a coach can adjust his squad.
I reckon a few sides already had inside info on this.

Have at is as you may. Our youngin's will benefit well enough from our demise. My take of it all is that not everybody deserves to be rewarded because of bloodlines.

Their deservedness matches your legacy. Money may be the inheritance you leave to your kids, but your kids are the inheritance you leave to the world.

True, but plenty of Boomers benefitted back in the day.

My take is that age is irrelevant. I tend to gravitate towards wiser, older people but there are plenty of old deadshits. Occasionally some young whipper snapper surprises me but plenty have disappointed as well.

All the boomers I know/knew just got on with their working life, had fun in their teens and tried to earn a crust as they got older. There was nothing radical about it all. It sometimes appears on here that we were gifted everything on a plate.
