Careful MB - You will be labelled \"Not a True
Supporter!\"
I was actually thinking about this late last night - long after I made this post. I guess I won't win a popularity contest with some very strong Eagle support groups. In general I give players more chances than most do and for a very long time. Those are at the end of their careers for Manly and their form has dropped off dramatically get special lenient treatment from me as I remember the great service they gave the club and all of us.
I don't want to particularly pick on Jason, and as I have said before I hope he proves us all wrong and plays for Australia, but it is season crunchtime and I want the big boys to stand up. He played his first NRL game at the end of 2001 and this means we have been waiting for 3 1/2 years for some sort of consistent high standard to be reached.
I consider myself a 'true supporter' and believe I am at least honest to myself in where I stand and what I tell others, and admit when I am wrong. You won't find that in every forum you visit.
