Rumours and Stuff

To be honest, he's still not a good defender, but that's easier to hide in a strong team, and he's certainly a dangerous runner, which the fans love to see. He is also only 20 years old, so he has plenty of improvement in him. What's great about young players is that they improve. It's very exciting.

Awesome you’ve been able to find faults in a 20 yo kid that’s played in an important position for his team that’s leading the comp after 17 rounds. That more than likely will play semi final football.


You’ve rubbished mam yet in comparison you’ve only sung the praises of ja. A kid that’s had the deck cleared for him and that totally looks out of place in grade.


that’s the difference between you and many here. Quick to judge everything/everyone around you, ignoring your own backyard type of situation. And you do it repeatedly.

It was funny when you called him a troll

That’s been this site for the past week. You’re a troll. No you are. Repeat.

Then what are the squad's leaders for? And why is no team up for every game?

The trolling looney at again.

I'm not giving you your 2 inch hard knuckle this time honey. You'll have to pull it all on your own I'm afraid.

No I've been wrong as well, and I've learnt from it. The fact is there's plenty of shit we don't know and therefore we are stupid to criticise without all the facts. These days I see everything (unless confirmed) in terms of probabilities, rather than Brad-Arthur's-is-a-Great/Shit-coach or Jake-Arthur-is-a-Future-Star/Park-Footballer. Most things are in between, with very little chance of existing at either end of the continuum of probabilities.

I agreed 100%. Pou is the undisputed in betweener champion forum Arsehole Troll.

You win dude hands down.

By his own admission @Poupou Escobar plays devils advocate with every topic on these forums. If the majority go one way he will go the other way. A bit like being picked on the shitty side in the high school debating team.

The problem with his approach is that you only have to go back a couple of pages and see that he contradicts himself and the wheels of circular logic are set in motion.

Can we make a small pride thread for poo?

Jake Arthur has also played finals footy. Even scored a try in a grand final! But yes Mam has a better running game. His weaknesses (defence and kicking) are covered by his team mates, which is good. It’s a team game.

Is not a contradiction to be able to see both sides of an argument.

Oh yeah. I forgot ja’s form warranted selection for the gf. Especially since his form in the semis got us there. Gee he served a great purpose on the bench for 70 minutes.

if only we had a spare forward we could of included in the 17…

Trouble is by your own admission you think you're the only one capable (among us "dumb merkin footy fans") of doing so...

Meanwhile everyone here probably has already seen both sides of an argument, and simply have - in the moment of making a post on a footy discussion forum - made their choice to have an opinion and not get splinters. That's what we're all here for.

Contrary to your limited world view, that doesn't mean someone's opinion is set in stone, or won't change over the face of other factors - but your constant trolling of any opinion offered by your fellow fans on here contributes little to "education" or that natural process of opinion formation and evolution (which tbh would occur without any of your input).

His own trolling thread, more like.

Would keep him out of messing up the others with his constant need to demonstrate "both sides of an argument", like he's just belatedly learned the concept, lol

Yeah ten minutes of overweight Wiremu Greig would’ve made a massive difference!

No, what it means is that you’re wrong to sling shit at these people as if you had all the information. You are criticising things you don’t know about, and making yourself look like a dopey shitmerkin. Having a little crew of dopey shitmerkins agreeing with you doesn’t exactly excuse you.

but your constant trolling of any opinion offered by your fellow fans on here

Whoah Mr Victim! There are plenty of fans on here with excellent opinions. It’s only the noisy minority who try to dominate every thread with derision who get both barrels from me.

No, I'm just criticising how you choose to use the forum. It feels bad to have to push down so regularly on you, but when you clog up every thread with reductionist garbage, there's not much choice!

Not a victim. Just challenging you to join the plenty of excellent fans on here by sticking to posting your opinions, instead of your monotonous empty and uninvited crusade to "educate merkins" by posing as nothing other than devil's f**ktoy, er... advocate.

It is when you won’t ever commit to one side of the argument. You’re just a glorified fence sitter.

If there's any justice left in the world, in your next life you'll get what you deserve and come back as an ugly girl.

BA was asked about Hodgo in his pre-game presser and plans for him next year.

what was interesting was he said “Hodgo had an option in HIS favour for next year and chose to activate it”

also said he doesn’t know what the plans are for Hodgo next year.
