[Karmawave]

Haha wave the right to appeal!

and btw i didnt call him a violent drunk somebody else did, whether thats the case or not i wouldnt have a clue (though seems highly possible based on the 'ever reliable' media reports)....im calling him a grub :lol:

Actually, I think scotts kick at 24 16 at the tigers end of the field was far worse than either of the other two incidents. You have field position, your pack is tired and you dont get the ball in goal along the ground. Speaks volumes as to why he has a mamoth amount to learn still and why Mullen is a vastly superior half back.

You do realise that Newtown were in the big GF for reserve grade last year don't you...and you also remember how bad our team was last year too?



You have been (knowingly or unknowingly) turning half the discussion in this forum since early 08 towards that topic through your constant efforts at bringing up your favourite topic. It reminds me of DMC vs BIHK and the Gidley vs Rudder wars all those years ago (wow it would be a good 5+ years ago now!) except we have you and a few others who partly agree with you vs the majority. Ooooh I now see two posts where you are trying to give the idea you have a growing group of supporters behind you - do you think many people care?

And now you're...actually I don't know what you're doing, trying to create more division by promoting the idea of separate groups on here? I dunno. Most of us share our opinions freely on here without banding into mobs who support each other. Whether you are right or wrong or otherwise, sometimes its just good to sit back and let things go, we know everyone elses opinion on this issue, and sometimes you aren't going to change people so you've just gotta leave it at that.

I think its the people who make Karma the issue are the problem here. I understand he gets under peoples skin, but generally it isnt he who starts the "you have an axe to grind" to and fro that gets off topic and personal. I see thread after thread where his name is mentioned several times before he has even posted a word. He is opinionated, arent we all, in general its what i like about spending time here everyday to have a read and an opinion on various things. Id much prefer having a bloke like that sh*t stirring a little bit with decent arguments than some of the fools the other clubs have to endure posting.

I think if he added something new every now and again everyone would be much more appreciative of his input.

At the moment, he probably wouldn't go too astray with a straightjacket in a mental institution singing 'Supersub! Supersub! Suuuuuuuuupersub!' *cackles*

Sweet, savoury Jesus, give Dureau a break!

The reason he kicked it on their first is because he knew the opposition would not expect it. Which is one of the factors enabling Jimmy to catch it cleanly. The thing about Dureau is that he's no where near his peak, unlike Mr Finchy, and will inevitiably make mistakes or 'tactical errors'.

So Karma please don't bag him for doing it this time, bag him if he does not learn from his experience and repeats his error. I'm sensing you haven't played the game in awhile and have evolved into an armchair critic with a perfectionist benchmark. Oh unless the players are in your 'favourites; category'. But that's cool mate, it's only cause your human, like Dureau..

"i'm certainly not going to judge a bloke on the perception and slant of him via the media?"- Karma

Tug Tug Karma, please don't blame the media or assert that:

No court conviction= Nothing happened.

I'll give you another fact, there has not been one rape conviction by a nrl footballer in the codes history.

Clearly by creating this alternative reality you aim to sleep better at night as to rest comfortably in your armchair to watch him play the following day. I see what you mean though. The cut on Bird's Bird's forehead was caused by Bird's reaction to Dureau's skilfully mature game against the Sharks causing Bird to throw his wine glass in the air, out of pure dissapointment of course, with no intent but in fact causing, a gash in the poor girls defencless face. Don't get me started on his attempt to blame his good friend. Pathetic C*** mate. And i use the C-Word sparingly my friend.

Bird is toxic and would infect the club and its players.

You know alot about Footy Karma; more than me. But i'm afraid in the posts i've seen from you in the last couple of months since i've joined this wonderful forum: i sense a deep lack of common sense reinforced by an impressive football brain.

Grow up....actually scratch that, just get off out of your armchair and leave the kids alone. Your contribution is being wasted.

Fair enough Stuart.

Good to see you posting man!

But for the record, I'm not the only bloke here bagging him.

I agree with this of course, but I'll probably get blasted for saying that too.

My shrink says I tend to seek plausibility and not consistency in my life which well might be true, but I really do just want consistency in our halves - whoever they are. ;-)

 

[Serc]

Its ok Hans...I deliberately went a little over the top the other day to try and get a certain outcome (ie: Karma settling down a bit), and I might have gotten it Anyway we move on!

 

[Jobdog]

FTR, Scotty's one wasn't that bad at all. I just watched the replay and the first one (for Sau) got us 40-odd metres up the park and the one for McManus got us another 25 metres up the park. So if we were going to hang onto the ball, unless it was some average Tigers defence (which wasn't likely at that stage), we would have only made about 10-15 metres on those tackles ...

That just backs up my belief that it wasn't the play that was the problem, it was WHO did the play that was the problem that is getting a select few to carry on and on and on.

 

[Alex28]

No - it wasn't who made the play, it was the level of risk and the lack of thought on the first tackle of a make-or-break set for us. Lacked maturity.

And lets face it - it came off and we made some metres (that's not to say we couldn't make those metres up the middle - heck Wes made 70 metres up the middle on one leg a set earlier). But if it didn't you guys would still be defending him. His fan club would still be in tact.

The whole point of the thread is around the thinking behind making certain plays at certain times. It was incredibly high risk and he got lucky it came off. People here seem to be more concerned about the actual kick and that is not the point at all. He made the kick because that was the extent of his capabilities more than anything.

 

[keeney]

FTR - Scott's move was dumb. I kicked myself when it happened. Not because it didn't come off (It did, sort of) or because it put us in potential risk (it did) but the lack of composure it represented at the beginning of our final set, a clutch decision. It just showed me that even if we did get down the other side, we'd have no structure and base it all on a miracle low percentage play. Lack of maturity.

 

[Serc]

I held off posting earlier...but we've really thrashed this issue enough now, just sit back and see how things go this weekend

 

[macavity]

this still going?

sh*t thread.

 

[Jobdog]

Yeah it is.

Dureau -----------> Rogers

 

[Alex28]

We'll see on the weekend Jobby - he'll have no one else to help him look good against the form team of the comp. Or no doubt that will be the excuse...

And Mac - it isn't a sh*t thread at all. It was a more than valid point that turned into a Scotty fans v non-Scotty fans battle - as all Dureau threads tend to do. Doesn't mean we can't call him out when he does something dumb.

 

[Karmawave]

If he was any good, there wouldn't be such major division over him from fans.

 

[keeney]

There isn't, there's 2 intensely dogmatic fans who oppose him strongly. You're using specious reasoning, division could indicate that he is any good.

I agree it was a dumb move on Scott's behalf. Actually to the point where i was gonna defend this thread, know I see it for what it is, more intensely combative c**k measuring from initial sentiment to now well over 100 posts.

Lock and bury this bloated elephant of a thread.

Don't mean to continue on this thread as I'm sure we all agree it's run it's course, but if we don't win it'll be all Scott's fault. The bloke can't win ;-)
