He rubs many here up the wrong way and has virtually stopped the influx of RUMOUR he has belittled and verbally chastised and accused many, and many have stopped contributing to this great site great rabbitohs like Rsag85 and 4ever.
Hi Handyman2190,
I have to disagree with you on this one. I don't think you can put this on Rabbitoad.
Rsag85 is the only one that can speak for himself on this issue (and I hope he will either confirm or correct my opinion). However, from what I observed from the sidelines he stopped posting on here at a time that Rabbits20 kept going at him about his preseason assessment that Kennar was no good. I won't refer to him as a dud as others may. Looking at you Rabbits20. IMHO, anyone that has played at U20 level or above is no dud.
I think if anyone pushed Rsag85 off this forum it is more likely to be Rabbits20 than anyone else.
Sometimes Rabbits20, you seem not so much to cheer for all our players, as much as you seem to cheer for the player you have backed and hope for the player you have not backed to fail.
Personally, I prefer to cheer for all our players even though I may sometimes point out what I perceive as deficiencies in certain players.
The most obvious example of this is Cook. I will admit like almost all his other detractors on here have, that I was absolutely wrong. I questioned his defence, his willingness to take on the line, his kicking game (which was non-existent), and his decision making in the big moments.
I am so happy to admit that I was wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong on all these points. Cook just needed a coach to believe in him finally, and he is developing into the complete hooker. He will be Australian hooker come years end and I could not be happier for him, he is an inspiration and has overcome so many obstacles along the way.
The thing is though Rabbits20, even though myself and others have all put our hands up and admitted we were wrong about Cook, you continue to call us "Cookhaters" and rub it in our face that we were wrong. I was never a Cookhater, more a Cookdoubter, and couldn't be happier to admit that I was massively wrong. All I want is for the mighty Rabbitohs to succeed and couldn't give a flying f**k about petty arguments on here.
I guess my point is, if others came as hard at you about the players in our squad that you have written off as duds in the past, as hard as you go at the alleged "Cookhaters" you would be screaming bullying. All of us have owned that we were wrong about Cook to a greater extent than you have owned how wrong you were to have called most of our squad duds previously.
It's not a competition about who among us is right or wrong about a certain players abilities. I may believe and state that a certain player has certain deficiencies, but this does not mean that I think they are a dud. It just means that I hope they can improve on this area just like I hope every single one of our players improves on their weaknesses to make the Mighty Rabbitoh's stronger.
Sometimes it just seems like when you kept calling Rsag85 out about his assessment of Kennar, that you're more interested in winning a petty argument than you are in the overall development of our team.
Cheers Stan
