The trouble with St. George Illawarra

[gitano]

Why not just post this in the sack mary thread?
Do we really need yet another bag the coach thread?

Circle jerkers gotta jerk bruh

Your earlier statement “we will be playing semis” is indeed hubris.
You make no allowance for the fact that history shows we have repeatedly failed at this part of the season nor the fact that the Tigpies have proven hard to beat and are improving.
IMO far more chance of us losing 4 than winning 4

Interestingly it’s possible for people to make those allowances yet come to a different conclusion. Indeed the assumption that others haven’t done so borders on the, dare I say, hubristic?
Also - hubris is still fun. Though I don’t think it’s mocking the gods to say we have a better chance of beating the eels, dogs or knights than the tigers have of beating the bunnies.

the fact that the Tigpies have proven hard to beat and are improving.

four weeks ago:
tigers 20 - dragons 16

three weeks ago:
tigers 22 - rabbits 6

two weeks ago:
bulldogs 16 - tigers 4

last week:
tigers 25 - newcastle 16



so they've gone from beating two teams in the top 4, to losing to one spoon contender, and just beating another spoon contender.

i thought 'improving' meant getting better?

That is what it usually means. You might be making the mistake of reading the words OT uses but not divining the ‘intent’. A mistake I myself have occasionally made.

ah yes, he called me a pompous dickhead or something like that the other day for not realising that his intent was completely opposite to what he had written..

 

[Dennis Papaioannou]

Not sure what the big deal is here. This is fairly common saying (albeit expressed clumsily here)

Sorry, but that's not how footy works...

Interesting that you have a negative opinion on Tigpies last 4 games which is a 3 win 1 loss result
The 4 games before that they lost all of them so how you do not see them as an improving side shows what little comprehension you and you new found friend actually have

okay - let's work your logic into our performance.

we've lost three of our last four..

but won three of our last four before that...

so based on your logic, we're improving, and rapidly.

huzzah! re-sign the coach & print the premiers t-shirts. we're flying!

[Drag Queen]

Hello Drag Queen, nice to hear from you once again. Just to let you know that it is not our Mary that is on his stubby little knees in his pajamas with his hands clasped together, but we .

Haha, this comment made my day Gareth. My brain's a bit foggy these days but do people, except really tiny ones, actually wear pj's these days? I haven't missed your point though. I'll be more mindful of people that respect the Lawd etc Xx

 

[muzby]

we're discussing how the tigers are on the up, despite effectively missing the finals after their recent poor performance..

but again, you revert to insults & name calling when someone discredits your statements..

I can still be your friend too OT, you can make sweeping negative statements, I can point out logical extrapolations of them and ask you direct questions, and you can reply with vague statements that avoid direct answers. Good times.

 

[Saintsified]

The Illawarra part of the marriage that brings nothing... Don't give me this junior base excuse out, was ours before Steelers anyway, and besides Roosters have shown dont need them when you can go buy them.

 

[Drag Queen]

Crush seriously, look at his record over the past 4 yrs.
He is a proven loser.

What are you seeing that no other human sees?

Unicorns? Just a thought.

 

[merahputih]

Disagree. I think one cesspit thread of negativity is quite enough for those that insist on dedicating their freetime to attacking and criticizing the bloke.
It's great to have a whinge about stuff but IMO the quicker you look to the future and positives the better.

A future without Mary.

That’s a good record, wish we could have done that well over the last 4 weeks.

"The trouble with St. George Illawarra''..is
It starts from the top, and flows down like lava to the village below at the base where players and supporters are housed. Some players escape, us supporters have no where to go only to stay and rebuild. We just need the volcano to stop causing so much destruction. "Bit over the Top"....I know.... but just over dramatising the status quo.

Volcano victims, yeah that’s us, usually curled up in the foetal position or fallen on our face blind drunk come September.

I think that is Saint_JimmyG and st penguin from the "Everything is pointing towards a premiership 2018" thread. Looks like Muzby must have escaped, i guess he won the counting competition.
