Back in the 60's, if you said St.George were going to go well, and that Gasnier was a good player .... chances are you would be correct ...
And in the 70's, if you said Manly will be there at the end of the year, and that bloke Fulton could play ... chances are you would be correct ...
... and in the 80's and 90's if you followed the games, and knew the form .... chances are you would be leading the tipping contest ..... or at least you would be beating the receptionist who picks teams on the colour of their jerseys ....
Not any more .... The problem that the pontificating experts have today is ..... they are full of shiite ..... and if they aren't .... wait a week, a month or a year and they will be .....
Brad Arffur is a good coach .... sack Brad Arffur ... wait Arffur is the Messiah!! ..... wait .....
Seibold is the world's best coach .... Seibold is a goose ... wait ...
Manly has a bottom 4 roster .... wait we have a good team .. wait ...
Manly's forwards over-rated and lack depth .... wait ... we have a great pack and a couple of great reserves ..
Parra win the spoon .... wait .. Parra top 5 bound ....
Mitchell Moses is shiitehouse release him .... wait he is a genius .. re-sign him ....
Opposing teams will have a field day against the GingaNinja .. wait .... he bashed them ...
You get my drift .... I don't think there has been more than 2 things the pontificators have got correct over the past 12 months ... and the jury is still out on those ..
It's really hard to say anything these days without qualifying your opinion with the words "I think" or "I believe" ... Unless of course you are a pontificator ... then you just tell us the way it is .... but wait ....
Bring back a simpler time when experts could be relied on to be correct more often than they were wrong ...
