Fair enough. Anyway, I've given up on trying to inject facts into discussions around here. It seems to be a waste of time. I promise it will never happen again. From now on I will just go with the flow and the 'vibe'.

I now accept the following -
- Doust gets Premiership T shirts printed in his spare time.
- Price said Kyle would be his starting half.
- Rangi is on a plane, somewhere.
- We regularly underspend our cap.
- Doust, Price, Young, any number of our players, support staff, ballboys and cheerleaders are crap. They're all crap. Unmitigated crap.
- We are the worst run club, eva.
- Our membership numbers are less than half of what they were, or should be, or something.
- Photos of Price prove that he has lost control of the dressing room and doesn't demand respect.
- Price has no chin (this one is in fact irrefutable).
- Doust is the worst CEO, eva.
- I am a more passionate supporter because I believe all of the above.

I'm one of the gang now.

How come I don't feel better? Why aren't I happy being unhappy?

Works for me. :D

Everyone is Monday's expert.. true? Except for this week of course when we'll be Tuesday's experts.
The coach makes a call and many say (often moiself included) WTF he should be doing this because I think so. Last year when the inevitable happened (we have been foiled this year by inconvenient victories occasionally) we go, "f**kin told ya so!!" or in the rare instance when the coach got it right, we remain silent.
Some of us occasionally confess to getting it wrong. (Usually those of us who have been emasculated by years of marriage)
I try to back up my opinions with sound empirical data and check my sources when possible.
For the record
I have doubts about Price that reflect what i believe has been his poor decision making over many games.
Know a fella on the board and revere his judgement and believe that in a difficult economic environment that the club is pretty well run.
Think that we have a top 6 roster potentially but could use a Beau Scott, Jeremy Smith assassin in the middle of the ruck and another forward who can bend the line and offload.
Dan Hunt has penalty issues IMO mate. Kyle doesn't have a clue about expeditious ball disposal from DH and Dylan Farrell has problems reading attacks.
Fix those and we'll do a lot better with any of the three half options that we have available.

Cagey,

Its a forum mate. Yes you are right. Monday night coaches etc.
Predictably, we call it the way we see it.
I am no fan of Price, but have never called him "chinless", or named Hunt something derogatory.

I will say this, Doust has overstayed his visit. With the JV, we should have 2-3 titles under our belt and be a force in any comp. Hasn't happened.

The selection of Kyle / Hunt etc comes down to Price, BUT he is employed by Doust.
Im sure Price "thinks" he is doing right by the club.

Bottle is venting his frustration, which is fine. I get it.

Do we know who is responsible for recruiting? Doust or Price? or both ?
We are travelling OK atm, but i think the natives are restless with all the selections of players NOT based on form. Doesn't take long to go from 3-0 to 3-6.

Dialogue like this is healthy, as long as it doesn't get personal with either players or members.

Hope we smash the Storm.

Yeah, agreed.
Quite often when there are 2 defenders, Hunt will be the last one up, trying to slow the play the ball. In theory, its fine, he just does it too often, and I think, being sceptical, ref's have earmarked Hunt for this. Very similar to Jason Ryles in the refs eyes. Any 50-50 call went against Ryles.

100% with Ryles, you can only be the naughty kid in class for so long and then the teachers will pick on u!

agree it's a bigger concern but if proctor and sims come on the radar you try and sign em - would take both. Can keep Stewart - past it
