The Rumours Thread

[Old Timer]

You can stick ‘true’ supporter up your arse, as you’re the one that raised it, it’s not a term I use.

As for my opinion on the other select players in your post I’ve made plenty on Lafai but the rest are long gone so WTF even raise them?

Why?

You simply used a very select group of bad signings that are irrelevent now and yet per usual failed to mention any good signings because you’re a negative old prick. You can sugar coat it all you like, fact is you’re just plain, boring and constantly negative.

I’ve said it before, you have obvious footy knowledge and passion for the club but your negativity is tiresome.

You call me selective and negative FMD you should look in a mirror.
Let’s look at the bullshit you peddle re me being negative
I was always pro Dugan and posted as such but I suppose because others don’t like him that’s a negative
I was always pro Mann and posted as such read above
I have always been pro Widdop and posted as such read above
I was anti the old model JDB but posted positively and congratulated re his improved playing style
I was pro Aitken as starting centre last season and posted as such even though it maybe cost Mann a start
I have been supporting juniors getting a start ahead of some of the hacks and journeymen we sign but that doesn’t suit some agendas so is seen as a negative
You want me to be effusive re a few good signings but say nothing about all the duds and you can add Sam Williams & Benji to the list as well.
I have been pro Host ahead of Lats for several years but that is a negative too I suppose.
You dismiss the above comments re recruitment as not relevant but ignore the obvious pattern of what we buy and the lacklustre results they bring.
So Captain Crack A Fat if all is good in recruitment let’s have your list of unbridled success and then have a look at it against the failures since 2010.
While you’re at it let me know the experienced ISP players we purchased that helped the youth, put pressure on the 1st grade and they made a real difference.
We needed a top class winger and centre this year and we could give it a real shot but we purchased maybe’s and never was’s and ended up with 3 high quality halves now that makes real sense doesn’t it.
Of course some will say well Widdop is going but that is not yet a fact and where Norman plays is still a mystery.
Just because I don’t like some players in the team or that we purchased doesn’t make it negative, it means I have a different opinion and that’s all it means
I am supporting what I believe is best so stiff shit if you don’t like it (your prerogative) but see the comment for what it is you negative prick.
By the way all the best for the festive season.

For those that you believe have "supported" the club, can you tell me what they have got in return for all that optimism especially the period post 2011?
All the excitement from the "pro everything lobby" when we signed Masoe, KFFL, Lafai, Nielsen, Nabuli, Harrison, Farrell, Mc Crone but to name a few, so how did that all go for us?
We have been through a plethora of dud signings that have achieved SFA and yet they keep coming up with them and at the same time they get applauded by people who thought all the aforementioned were going to do it for us and then the "true supporter lobby" criticise those that see the majority of the signings as same old same old.
In fact the pro signing lobby actually hold the same old same old philosophy themselves which is the ironic part

Don’t forget the McGregor signing

Anyone else think miller is a closet Saints fan I’ve seen him over there and he even sort of kind of defends us (even though they call us the stains )

Same to you OT, all the best over the next few weeks and a great 2019 mate.

 

[RedV1]

there are a few clubs that dont play by those rules

That’s ok mate, let them do what they want. I seriously consider that we have a terrific top say 20 players for top grade. Just need to put them in the right combinations to excel. There will only be a slight change because this year we had a good go but injuries stopped us from getting to the GF. Have faith my friends we are building very nicely & i am happy with the situation.

Hey Miller, live in Cronulla area, hear St Merge a lot. Do sharks fans say similar to Wests Tigers fans?

No idea mate, I’m up in tweed now.

To many Sharks fans It’s a brotherly relationship. Talk shit, but hey without each other the footy can get boring.

There are certainly the total dickheads also, but we all have those

Dickheads are dickheads.
Most of my mates are sharks fans and respect Dragons although hate them in the same way I hate Sharks. Local Rivalry.
Idiots that say St Merge and Peptides etc are just dickheads, they're everywhere.
