Are you saying that the booing didn't happen? Do you agree with it?
Without presuming to speak for Avenger (but I will!), I don't think for a moment he was suggesting the boo'ing never happened. I think he was inferring, by his query, it was a very long bow to draw to suggest that merkins who post on this Forum were a party to it. There were plenty of JA critics around here but suggesting those critics were one and the same as the braying dolts booing him at the ground is an unsubstantiated stretch.

There's at least one one poster who still seems totally distraught by the situation, to the point it might be best if they logged out and took a break for a while and let the adults talk footy...

Plenty of other players have been booed over the years. I'm not the type to boo or cheer.
A wise man would know that the situation JA was put in if failed was going to lead to harsh criticism from fans. It is rugby league not ballet and the type of people.l following are maybe a little different I would say.
I think JA was thrown to the wolves far to early in his career. That's on the coach and recruiting team. He just wasn't ready and should not of been put under that type of pressure. Only special talents should taste NRL at age 18. Personal opinion of course but most coaches and clubs seem to share it.
I hope JA kicks on and proves the doubters wrong. Seems like a great honest kid.

Now that was a nice ADULTS conversation

It did. No I don’t and I’ve never done it myself. Haven’t even sledged them in public at a game during the darkest times. I have at home in front of the tv but that’s as far as it gets.
I was at the games Jake supposedly got booed I had no idea it even happened.

Maybe I was in my own little world concentrating on the game.

it wasn't until I read comments on social media about it.

As much as it shouldn't happened it wasn't anywhere near as bad that it was made out to be.

As was I and yes there was some booing but my recollection is that the loudest boos were for his coach.
