Its a shame that this forum turned you from someone that was once so positive, into someone that now highlights the negative.![]()
Sorry you perceive it that way, mate.
There are things I'm very, VERY positive about at the moment (i.e. I think we have one of, if not THE best forward pack in the game today). Also:
X Coaching/admin/supplementary staff look mint
X Lyall Gorman seems to be doing a standout job (after my earlier concerns in that department)
X Forward pack is amazing
X Contract status across the playing group is fantastic (they'll need to perform) - just like Walker extended for another 4 years (at least) - all short term deals / contract years
X Membership numbers increasing as the club gets our identity back
X I actually thought Barrett was great, and get hammered every post I defend him
X I actually think Parker has potential despite a few poor games (just needs development), and get hammered for saying so
X I think Penn has shut people like me up about his capital investment into the club now
X Looking forward to the Centre of Excellence
X Tom, Dylan, Elgey and DCE in our backline are amazing (so we are ALMOST there)
So almost everything is amazing, and I'm constantly saying that. Either you're not seeing everything I post, or are just looking at the one / two points that frustrate or upset me, and are just honing / focusing on the comments I have to say about that, to have a dig at me??
I'll admit, on the field, I feel our weakness will be the points I'm highlighting (in that backline). Did I love Kelly? Yes, absolutely, gutted to see him go, so I apologise for whingeing about that, so rip me for it, all you like. The kid had quality both on and off the field, and you don't lose players on the up like that for nothing, over a guy on the drink and bongs. It really grates me, I admit, sorry.
I'm 90% positive right now, mate. Hopefully I'm allowed to comment / complain / whinge about the things I'm not so pleased with given this is a forum to do so.
Hope @Briza and @Batty read that as well.
EDIT: @Dan made me one of his Expresso Martini's last night he serves the ladies. Next thing I know I wake up naked in a bed after blacking out, so apologise if any of the above didn't make sense 😉 I called him Quagmire from Family Guy - the guy is smooth. Hahaha
