You should be a defense lawyer.
Maybe 20 year olds shouldn't vote as they are too emotional?
Extend the 16 and under social media dribble ban to 30 as 20 year old aussie guys are too emotional.
Sandpaper gate could be because warner and Smith were about 30 and Cam was in his 20s?
Maybe stop making excuses for players there 20s because they play footy.

Just saying 20 somethings do most of the stupid shit...not excusing it, but also not surprised. If it's going to happen it's more likely to happen in that age group.

I suggest you read my previous posts on the matter for more context on my views if my comment has triggered you.

Don't need to read previous posts.
Anyone making excuses for his actions are alright with dogging your team.
Gutted he will ever play for us as the refused to play is a massive line.

You've read a lot into my post that wasn't there. I hope you're able to calm down. You're upset about something that was never said...you imagined it and took a lot of liberties in doing so.

Maybe not the world, but as a supporter I want to know.

Right now my perception of the club is in the gutter.

And even though I am only 1 man, I'm still one of the people the club needs to watch or go to games, renew memberships, buy merchandise....

Public perception is extremely important to an NRL club - likely even moreso for the tigers compared to others.

Who knows how many people won't watch, won't make the effort to get to the game this week?

I'll watch, but my heart certainly won't be cheering for Doueihi.

I guess that is a choice we all need to make. We can be bitter and twisted about it or we can make the assumption that Benji and the club have made their best decision to get us back on track.

To think otherwise is to think that Benji and Shaun are deliberately trying to undermine our performances.

I have been critical of AD for several seasons, and I was certainly pissed off with him at the time. I am probably less forgiving that others on here; but, while I have moved on from the incident I am still filthy with AD and his belief that he is still a leader a the club (which in my eyes he never was).

Benji and Shaun, for whatever reason, have made the determination that keeping everything in house, and that selecting AD at 7 is the least damaging option. They have made a deliberate decsion not to make an example of AD and also not to address us supporters directly.

I don't like AD playing FG after his bullshit stunt in any form. I have the choice to wak out on the club and to not watch or go to games. However, there are plenty of players that deserve support, so like AD or not, I'll continue to support the team. At the same time I will continue to hold my opinion that AD's best postion is playing for some other club.

Im going to watch. I want to see Douehi put on a 7 exhibition, demonstrating all his skills to take us to a victory over a team with a qualified 7. He has to direct the team and carry the clutch plays, and pass the ball at least once. Loving being out there with the boys isnt good enough any more. You want it, you take it. Get the job done.

Interesting Benji mentioned they had Danny Abdullah in to speak to them on Tuesday about acceptance and forgiveness
This is the father of the kids that were killed on the street by a drunk and drug affected driver at Oatlands several years ago.
He and his wife have forgiven the driver.

Personally ive ever only truly hated one person in my life and they came into my life thru my own stuff ups...i see this now but at the time i didnt.
Forgiving...or more for myself letting go of grudges that made me toxic and held.me back i believe has seen me grow and understand i was at fault when i was hating that peron.

If you carry baggage it just weighs you down...this Doueihi thing is a grain of sand to me compared to what ive been thru, yeah i dont like it and its a.very bad look for the club ive supported for over 50 years but I can get past it...but thats just me.and im not here to say anyone here should feel.this way or that about it...

It’s just good to still be here hey? I’ve found a calmness during the big issues. Now I just gotta stop yelling “you’re all a bunch of f….. lazy f…wits” at the tv on the weekends.

I'm really not usually the type who gets so wound up about these things.

But I'm also honest, so admit that this has annoyed me way more than the usual WT shenanigans.

I think I'm just sick and tired of supporting a club that seems to constantly find new methods to self sabotage.

But a little perspective is definitely needed here, and in the grand scheme it's only sport.

Thanks @Jolls 😊
 
The place is an absolute pressure cooker. Big Loss after big loss, controversy after controversy. I'll forgive Adam for making a mistake in a fairly high stress environment. Im a little less inclined to forgive some of his defensive efforts in the last month.

His words in the presser were good. Actions will matter much more than words. Fans are sick of words. "Next man up", "accountability", "brothers" just empty words. No more jersey grabs, no more hero plays, play where you're told Doueihi, its a team game.

Unfortunately the AD petulance and the club response make it very difficult to espouse accountability. The standard you ignore/walk past is the standard you accept and the club has ignored the actions of AD, virtually every former player has identified he couldn’t be immediately brought back into the team after what he had done.

If only it was as easy as saying sorry, being forgiven and everyone moving on. The reputational damage done by these actions to WT, Benji and AD himself will live on far longer than any sorry that has been dished out.

Only if you want it to. Nothing a good win on Sunday can't fix.
