Deja Vu - Crawley article

[Tigerbuck63]

I love the passionate Forum members and their comments. What ever you think of Crawley or the Daily Telecrap the point is we are still outside of our fan base the laughing stock of the league, friends love to tell me each year another year without finals appearance and whilst we have the occassional good win which we all get excited about and like to think we have turned the corner in the end like the last 9 years ends up with another poor season. I think we need to put faith in Maguire cuase god help us if we sack another coach and go through another rebuild (seems to be our motto) and we need to invest in some quality juniors from within and other clubs. Our history of overpaying established first graders from other clubs to attrack them to come to us has not really worked. Yes Ivan really stuffed us up big time.

Completely correct ...many Forum members need to take their black ,white and Gold monocle off

Laughing stock is an opinion not a fact. Personally I'd rather finish 9th every year than have the dog of a year Broncos have had, or the shocking signings of the Dragons, or the boardroom nonsense impacting on-field at Bulldogs.

So Crawley gave an opinion, that's fine. A lot of the comments weren't facts or were incorrect, and on that there should be some correction.

Crawley is not enough of a moron to get it totally wrong, but he is moron enough to not get it totally right either.

And thats your opinion ......no finals in 10 years ..worst record of any NRL side since 2000

This club needs a dog of a season like Brisbane ,Dogs ..how many finals appearances have Brisbane had since 2000 or the Dogs for that matter

It won't hurt if you take your head out of the ground to acknowledge it ...but when you don't acknowledge that we probably aren't in a much better position rugby league wise than 2017 ..thats pure ignorance

I'd rather always be in finals contention than win wooden spoons. Wooden spoons are the "laughing stock" for me, you can never take it back and never argue against it, and 1994 Balmain is still a blot in my football memory.

If you are happy to have a Broncos 2020 season in some vain hope of a miraculous Lazarus-like turnaround, good luck for wishful thinking.

No we aren't in a better position than 2017, but also not in a worse position.


I liken us to the Richmond Tigers always falling just short until they cleaned up there Roster, backed there coach with fans looking for a change and are now a consistent Top chance each season. Today's game will be interesting the Roosters usually have the wood on us if we WIN i believe we have turned the corner in competing with the Top teams, no matter what squad they put on the park.

Think with most supporters we have a slim chance of making the 8 this season but we are a roster that has a salary cap penalty and paying overs for a number of key players.

I like us to Fremantle Dockers. They were always a crap club with poor culture and results. But then they built the countries best COE and are now a crap club with poor culture and results.

Lol well still prefer to hope the Richmond tigers at least they play finals most years now, good point however.

Possibly. Whilst the COE is much needed it's not going to save the club like some seem to think.

Or at least that seems to be part of the hope the club is trying to sell. We need a whole lot more though.

I can't go along with your AFL analogies, they mean nothing to me, I'm not even sure who won the comp last year without looking it up.

But you get the feeling it wasn't the Dockers?

 

[clontarfkid]

He is spot on.

I totally agree with Crawley.Even worse,we finished 9th last year but ADDED to our roster
1)a hooker who wld be leading the Dally Ms until he got injured
2)a fullback who was Souths best player in their run to the finals last year
3)a grand final centre
4)Dragons best young forward
5)the availability (finally)ofboth Musgrove and Packer
6)the emergence of both Talua and Aloui as genuine 1st graders
In March ,given all the above,we had more than reasonable expectations that this was a top 8 squad regardless of what we overpaid for them
Weve been hit by injuries but no more than most...actually much less than the team that put 38 on us last nite.
So whats the issue...?
Been a big fan of Madge,but if u looked at his halftime speech a month ago full of fire and brimstone and chair kicking,despite leading by 8(before going on to be well beaten)...the players arent responding
Arent keen to punt yet another coach believe me...but hes gotta do more to optimise his selectios,develop a better defensive structure,and maybe hire an attack coach
It just isnt working..and to suggest that we can still make the 8 ...?

I don't know who did either but you hear about the Dockers being crap every year when you live in Perth. Any tigers fan can relate to that.
