Change is good!

Agreed, the grass is always greener

So you think changes should never happen under any circumstances?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I didn't say change was bad. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it isn't.

Saying the grass is “always” greener certainly seems to be implying that change is a bad thing.

It was a swipe at the idea that change is only a good thing.

Implying it’s always a bad thing is doing the same thing but in the opposite direction. You were right the second time when you said it can be good or bad.

There is a lot of irony this Sunday morning. Agree.

Like I said - there is a need for these same two to perpetually defend BAs legacy, simply to ensure that they can claim to have been right in their staunch defence of the BA era these past two years

in some respects I reckon they are secretly hoping we miss the eight next year to justify that it had nothing to do with BA being there too long, but rather we are just an under resourced club with no luck and institutional failure.

Having breakfast watching the today show this morning.

I couldn't help notice on the sport report that the poor old wallabies got beat again over night.

This Suaalii revival that was supposedly going to superchange success for Rugby in Australia lasted what 1 week.

Maybe some of those union clowns spilling there loads over a few tap on passes can get back under the dooner again.

I think PVL will be strutting around with a little wry smile again this morning.

Suaalii has to be the most over-rated young player I've ever seen - he drew comparisons from some people to Jarryd Hayne...

They don't belong in the same sentence, unless the sentence is, "Suaalii is nowhere near as good as Hayne was, and never will be."

lol the media were trying to talk up them winning the grand slam after beating a woeful Wales team. Not even the top sides of the late 90's could do that. This Wannabe's team is barely bundy cup level.

Is there another national sporting side that barely winning anything.

Even the socceroos won the Asian cup in 2015 which was a great achievement.

The wallabies have won SFA since the Sydney Olympics

I have a different take on Pou, at least.
I don’t think he defends BA for the sake of defending BA.
For the most part, his underlying claim or foundational view is the club (as a collection of ever changing individuals within changing power, financial, and organisation dynamics, as opposed to some continuous and unchanging entity) hold knowledge and expertise that us merkins do not. And any views that we hold are formed from a position of inferior knowledge and expertise.
He will argue against what he perceives as arguments made without all knowledge and facts, and without accountability, as well as what he perceives as lazy or simplistic or reactive sack-the-coach ‘arguments’.
In addition to that, he states regularly that resources (money plus other things like location, connections, management etc) and luck play a big part in success.
He clearly likes to make those arguments, draws on stats to support those arguments where he can, and will argue his point(s) tirelessly and in a way that some will not like.
In essence, and assuming I’ve got it right, his foundational claim is right and is an easy position to defend; no one here has the necessary inside knowledge and/or expertise. Luck plays a part as do resources.
But obviously that doesn’t mean he’s always right in every instance or isn’t guilty of making false assumptions; it’s possible for others to have information, expertise, or just see the obvious (BA was stale and needed to go) and still end up being right, despite the absence of all inside information.
Additionally, stats don’t tell us everything (I don’t think he’s ever said they do), can be misused (a claim made against him), and premierships are not all or predominantly won on luck (which he hasn’t said either).
And clearly, despite always having more and better information, the club can still make the wrong decisions and can mismanage whatever resources are at their disposal.
I get his point of view (for the most part) but don’t see the point in arguing at length details I may differ with, even if I think they are wrong.
Anyway, I think he might have said in one of his many posts, but after the fact, BA needed to go.
And I don’t think he wants us to fail or not make the top 8.

He also thinks Liam Martin was carried by his team mates
