Crawley Warning - ripping us to shreds

It's his opinion, nothing more. The Club proves through its actions via recruitment, financial results, supporter base, crowds and game results that he is incorrect.

Actions v words. He will look irrelevant and the sooner we are indifferent to what he writes the better we will be.
 
Gese. I know I put the warning in the title, I also know there was no facts from the journalist in the article. I posted it just to highlight how we are perceived by certain types.... no problems regarding the title warning.
 
The below is what makes the article even more bizarre. Packer and Reyold were painted as Villians. We would not have known if it was not for them making it a back page article

"But over the week­end this other story ex­ploded about Russell Packer and Josh Reynolds skip­ping out early dur­ing the Tigers’ come­back win over Manly. While Packer and Reynolds were painted as the
vil­lains"

The thing that amuses me about the DT/Fox position on this is that their "journalists" can take directly contradictory positions on this but it always critical of the club.

On Monday on NRL 360 Hooper and Kent blasted the club for not taking a tougher stand against Packer and JRey for their walkout on the weekend, while on Tuesday Creepy Crawley blasted the club for its unfair treatment of Packer and JRey.

It is one of those games that the club cannot win. They are damned either way.

If I were the club I wouldn't dignify Crawley's diatribe with response.
 
Just read the article. His main point seems to be that the Tigers keep signing bad players. I'm not sure why this is meant to put Addo-Carr off. "Look! The last two guys they signed to play fullback haven't locked the position down. If you sign there maybe it'll turn out you aren't any good either!"

I’m yet to be convinced with Souths signing Latrell. Latrell is a great player and we know he is an exceptional centre. But an $800k centre when a rookie fullback could send him back there?
All hypotheticals but I’d rather our potential 450k Centre/fullback and 550k winger/fullback combo as far as responsible recruiting is concerned.

I can’t use the words I would like to use to describe this so called journalist. So I will just point out that this philodox is both an ultracrepidarian and a morosoph.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Benji on FOX always calls him 'Crawls'...real matey.

I am sure half the leaks are Marshall and the agenda.

Crawley is absolutely useless as a journo.

Without a shadow of doubt, when did this crap ramp up to saturation level, when Benji got the tap on the shoulder, that's when

This was my first thought as well. I didn't mention it though because I expected an absolute uproar to be the result. It seems you can't suggest anything negative about Marshall on here without a barrage of abuse. Apparently you can say anything you like about Packer, BJ, Mbye and Reynolds though.

According to them though, that's what led them to walking out. Which is even more absurd - shouldn't you blast players, especially senior players, for walking out because things are tough for them? Guess not when players like Matterson and Moses are held in such high regard.
 
I hope our team starts an attitude against the Media, Like Manly, Like Bennett did with his players (i.e. Darius Boyd).
Tallis killed off Mick Potter. Several Journalists lay into us and try to derail our season when were in the top 8. Time we take an us vs them attitude.

Harry Grant will be hard to replace. Benji Marshall will be impossible to replace. Probably need another 4/5 genuine NRL quality forwards. They have great attitude though. You don’t play with such courage if there are internal problems. There is definite promise there.
First positive thing from a journo for a while - from "the great one"

Yeah, but again, another one kissing Marshall’s backside. How is he going to be impossible to replace?
 
I even remember saying at the time that the beauty of signing AD was that we could move him to 6 if we wanted to go after a gun fullback. The article itself is disgusting. He’s actually trying to sabotage our recruitment. The sickening part is he does it under the guise of the old “speaking for the supporters” chestnut. He can’t be that tone deaf that he wouldn’t know supporters wouldn’t want to hang him on a tree by trying to sabotage us.
