You blokes should get over bagging the players.  They are there and dong their best, and none of us are good enough to do the job ourselves.  If you think you are good enough strap on a boot and go and play.  Otherwise give it a rest.

I beg your pardon! I forged quite the career playing reserve grade in the bush, getting a run simply because the numbers weren't there. I believe this qualifies me to comment freely  ;D

Yes but you never played NRL did you?  For my part I couldn't run,tackle or pass so I was always reserve orange boy or left right out.

They are there and dong their best

That sounds like a very John Holmes statement

 

[bob dylan]

Jason Ferris is the half.

I assume then you don't have political opinions - seeing 'hey you've never been a politician'. And you don't have any opinions on food you eat at resturant - seeing 'hey you aren't a professional chef'. In fact I assume you keep your opinions to yourself on any topic were you aren't a professional?

Yes mate I do have various opinions and mostly keep them to myself unless there is something to gain.  I am just a little sick of the bagging of the players who in my opinion do their best on the field that 99.9% do not have the ability to do.

Craig Field or Hodkinson at halfback?

both

I cannot believe you lot waste your time on such trivial ****-the "pick the worst team" has had 500 threads dating back to MWSE. Get a ****ing life and contribute with something worth reading.
Unbelievable!!

But there is something to gain. We get to vent here, safely away from our wives and families (i.e. they don't leave us due to weird jumping up and down and yelling and screaming) and we feel better having it off our chests (i.e. they don't leave us cause we are no longer grumpy for the whole week). We then settle down a bit and enjoy analysing what went well and what went wrong.

Two things to add to that
1 - if this was a site where only positive things (as defined by yourself I suppose) were allowed then it would get boring fast.
2 - the main annoying things that are here are the people who try to stop us enjoying the discussions and rants with rubbish like 'true supporter' or 'you've never done it so you can't comment'.

I'm also assuming you aren't a professional debater so I can't imagine you'll continue discussing this and the merits of my post based on your philosphy of if you haven't done it you can't comment on it. I on the other hand can keep going as I don't hold to any such thing.

Aaah but we're enjoying it so its not a waste of time. What I can't believe is that you'd read a thread in which you think you've wasted your time and then you'd choose to waste more of your time by posting in it?

If pepole haven't noticed I'm a bit cranky tonight... so take what I say with that in mind.

Normally I'm all lovely and like rolling green meadows with yellow flowers and all that.

That may be very debatable in this instance.

Sorry to say this 'ads' but some things you are saying are starting to make sense.  I should increase my mediction.  AHHH that's better.

Sorry now I don't agree with anything you've said.
