That was obviously a joke but what do you mean "consigned to the swamp"?

The swamp is where posts made by Trolls are placed. See threads in forum page where it says "sticky Poll Swamp 11". If the mods start to believe you are a Troll all your post go in there so no one has to bother reading them.

You are right. Not good to make fun of him. I however don't agree about going easy on him because he is the coach. On the contrary, if he were coaching a rival team I would praise him effusively. Anyway, point taken and thanks for being an adult and stating it outright rather than making snide, childish and idiotic one-liners.

We have to that so that you can understand them

I'm busy now. If you have any relevant comments you would like me to reply to, I will probably be able to do it in a few hours. If not, I will just ignore your messages as well.

Gee you got lumped with some homework today. It's not fair is it?

I had finally had enough of and given up on Price after the debacle against Penrith when Drinkwater got MOM in the NSW Cup game. I was thinking something like; Price has buried his head in the sand until now but finally he has to give some young guys, like Drinkwater, a chance now.

Can you defend his thinking in not doing that? Don't think it would have a very negative effect on the confidence of young players to know that almost no matter how bad the first grade team plays and no matter how well they play, they won't get a chance in first grade for the foreseeable future?

I agree with the fact that drinkwater needs to be tested at nrl level. I was surprised with chase being named 5/8 last week as he does seeem indecisive in attack.

I don't like playing players out of position it can work well when the team is playing well and morale is high but when things aren't happening like present it can put the team under more pressure.

I haven't seen much of him play. Only the Charity Shield when he made a few mistakes but the team looked much sharper with him on and for a few minutes in one of the games earlier this year. I think Stanley may do well at 5/8 with a decent, ball-playing 1/2. Fien is a good hooker but I think he is a terrible halfback.

Last week Stanley wasn't involved in attack because Fien was trying to do all the playmaking himself and as a result the attack was atrocious.

On most occasions, a player of Fien's standing does not get to decide 'to do all the playmaking himself'; it is usually the game plan developed by the coach that would determine things like this. Last week Chase Stanley was really hopeless and if Soward played as hopelessly as that he would have been dumped to the Cutters. Hang on he played much better than that and was dumped to the Cutters. Oh and hang on again, he is now no longer wanted for the rest of the year with no apparent replacement. What a sorry joke! What a sorry mess!

There seems to be no end to the excuses made for Price and certain players who are performing so poorly.

I'm pleased that possm has found a playmate in Fiery. Hopefully he makes sense of this gibberish. I'm picking it's some sort of crack at Steve Price

I dont mind Fiery's posts, not sure where all the flameage has come from! Though I stopped reading this thread when it went off the rails a few pages back.
