Happy new year, people!

Also, question to anyone who may know - is there something in the Blue Wiggle's contract that says he needs to be mindlessly pretending to be strumming a guitar on every YouTube video?

Every time we click on a Wiggles video, there he is, fake playing. It's so annoying.

Happy New Year mate, maybe your kids need to watch this Wiggles vid, this will freak them out

What was so great about our squad under Hagan? You overrating our players again? Classic sports fan worshiping your heroes glug glug glug
In 07 we tested an over the Storm cap in a Prelim final, after our skipper had his arm ripped out of his socket. Even coached by a Spud like Hagan. Keep talking down the players and squads so you can talk up crap coaches. Glug glug glug!!

The Storm are notorious for shitting the bed in big games. They can afford to. In fact Hagan might’ve been the reason we were able to compete that day. After all he is one of only two coaches Johns won premierships under.

Calling us average isn’t talking us down. It’s who we are. It describes our results over nearly forty years. When professionalism swamped pokie money we came back to the pack. That’s nobody’s fault.

Pou is never going to get it he is happy being average.
I’ve learnt to accept it. I’ve been following this club since before I can remember, and I’ve been staunch since I moved in with my dad in 1990. Complaining and looking for scapegoats has changed nothing in all those decades. If the club ever rises above mediocrity it’ll be because of work done by the likes of McElduff and the board, not because the fans demanded a new coach.

In the mid 00's we were still just about the best run club in the comp,so stop trying to twist things to suit your BS narrative. Smith went onto the Roosters to set up their pathways while Cameron did the same for Penrith. Instead we got hagan and then in quick Succession Spags,Kearney and Sticky. No wonder we went down the drain glug glug glug!!

Where has that thread about the stadium rebuild gone?
I would like to bump it and make some comments about the city of parramatta and the trams etc.

Says who? We dominated in 2001 and were unlucky on grand final day, and then spent three straight years losing more than we won:

'02: 10/25
'03: 11/24
'04: 9/24

In '05 Smith again had us overachieve for 24 games before the wheels fell off in the finals. Whether that was bad luck or you've got a scapegoat ready to rock, we were indeed decently run. But there were no superclubs back then like there are now. So there was less competition.
so stop trying to twist things to suit your BS narrative.
Oh yeah like how we were the best run club in the mid-2000s. In a single nine month period we had three coaches that included Hagan and Jason Taylor.

Smith did a great job with our pathways. Hagan won f**k all with them. We should've gotten the bloke who set up Newcastle's pathways ffs

You are loyal, I’ll give that to you. Happy new year, merkin.
