Thats quite a blowup, I think my work is done!
Its a nice piece of revisionism but once again comes up short.
Regarding the criticism of the club, what you don't think they deserve it in most if not all cases? Is the team going so well that they are exempt from criticism, is the club in general a model of professionalism and the benchmark for professional sport? We've been declining in every area for the last 5 years and we are expected to accept that?
Other topline clubs seem able to retain and sign players, who was our last big name signing? Reynoldson?
Why is Simpson even still on the market? Theres talk that Manly will release Kite to fit him in? Good luck to them for at least trying to make the tough calls and recruit what they need, what proactive recruitment / retention strategies have we employed over the last few years, zilch, zip, zero, nada!
Thats my point, we seem unable to do the simple things right and not voicing your disapproval by any means is culpability in that context.
Its ironic you mention Luke Mc, theres a piece in the paper saying hes off to Saints.............Saints with all their well documented salary cap issues can sign him but we're losing 5 FG's and we can't?
We've been trusting the club to correct these issues for 5 years and each year we go backwards, what do you expect to do?
I'll support the team but I won't cop the rubbish thats been tossed up over the last 5 years, I hope I'm proved wrong about Simmo and signings in general, I'd be happy to be wrong but theres nothing in the recent history of that club thats shown me that they are on top of the issues.
I hope for all our sakes I'm wrong, but you must understand that we the supporters have been let down for 5 years on a variety of issues and I'm just not willing to cut them any slack until they show me things are getting better.
On that note we should agree to disagree and get on with it.
