Dolph,
only after watching this DVD did I realise that if Todd leaves, then its not because our club didnt try, its not because he is unwanted, its because of what our game is coming to. And Idont like it. Others may not give a damn, but I do. It took a powerful scene in a movie about the game for me to realise it, but there you have it.
FFS Dubby again we are on the same page knackers
Never did I state the club had not tried to retain him - they have but they don't have the $$$ or pull it seems to fulfil the it
Not wanted - again where did I say that ?. Quite frankly if he goes I reckon so does most of our future.
It is what our game is coming to - Exactly - hole in one. I think I even quoted Sir sh*t Dribbler (W.Mason) himself who stated that loyalty was dead in the NRL years ago.
My whole angst was that given the events of 12 months ago when the club stood by him, he is a out of order trying to hold the club to ransom so soon. Play some footy for the club, then when he achieves what his potential suggests by all means have a flutter on what the market says, but in this case its simply bad taste, and the whole reason I am so vehement at times is my passion for this footy club.
I also take umbrage at your comparison of The Greenhouse and LU - Two different forums, and to be quite honest I have given up on the GH because I think you get atrred and feathered if you say your piece, or at least get pigeon holed and treated with less credence than you may in fact warrant. In the end I actually felt a bit unwelcome to be honest, and its a shame because I will miss the likes of Thickos, Prod Man and Woodgers insights and posts. So far I have not been made to feel that way at LU and for you to suggest it is a depository for naysayer's and those not worthy of The Greenhouse is unfair.
The one thing people seem to forget in all the petty sh*t slinging is we all follow the same f**king team.
Most threads seem to end up being bitch fights with TR, Nick and yourself hanging crap on Bay, who does not need me sticking up for me.
In the end it all gets too personal, and I myself may be guilty of that sometimes.
Maybe we all need to grow the hell up
End of rant
