Yeh a bit rough to be having a crack at Jamal before he has even played a game for us. Let's see how he goes.
Mgt have said a few times they're keeping any news of re-signing our lads in-house so whos to say they're not working around the clock to finalise this. Furthermore wouldn't the centre of excellence be a major reason for players to stay at or move to the Tigers?!

Blocker go rubbish Manly they punted you as an assistant coach remember…then go rubbish 2GB, they too punted you...wow, ole Block is having trouble holding down a job...its time he took on a real job...seek.com.au Blocker...that's if you know how to use a computer!
Forget the headline - those words were written by the 'Staff Writer' to get attention.
Nothing wrong with having some doubts about Idris - personally I hope he comes good for us.
Regarding the other stuff… he most probably has a better idea of what's going on at the club than anyone in here.
Plenty of butthurt on a forum that is all about giving your opinion about someone sharing his thoughts.

But the opinion is wrong though. The welfare is old news and the club has become one of the benchmark clubs in that regard. And he's having a dig at current management for the big 4 all being off contract at the same time, when current management weren't even here when they were re-signed. Then the crap about the centre of excellence. It's bitterness, or as you would say butthurt.

Expert and Blocker Roach is a misnomer of the highest order.

You know the club is doing alright when Blocker or Tommy are laying the boot in.

Block saying Idris will fail gives me more confidence he'll succeed
Actually Im glad Blocker had a crack at Jamal - because he is spot on.
For a team that lacks consistency - identified by all as a problem - and our only notable signing is known for being inconsistent in the highest order, well the irony can't go unnoticed.
We all hope it is a career changing signing but until he proves that he can make changes to his game - then all we can go on is his performance to date. It is exactly what Jamal needs to hear imo.

I wouldnt say that at all. The bloke has played at the highest levels, experienced all aspects of the game with regard to pressure, conditions etc, has been involved with coaching and has been a commentator for years.
He is far more expert than those in here who are slamming him.

I bet you don't have the same opinion of Mat Johns and Gordon Tallis.

This reminds of you bagging Taylor in another thread for team selections. If you're consistent then the same rule should apply for your slamming of him.

Was thinking the same while reading the article, to me it doesn't really sound like something Blocker would say, in the way that it was worded etc.
He probably just offhandedly commented about his reservations in the Idris signing and some goose ghost-writer from RLW has twisted it into something more scathing. RLW has fallen so far as a publication it is hardly relevant anymore, it is more Woman's Day than hard hitting or informative RL publication like it once was 20 years or more ago.
The majority of its so-called "scoops" and inside stories are just rumours trawled from forums such as ours. Wasn't it only this season that someone on a forum made up some full-on BS rumour and it ended up in the media basically being spruiked as fact?

But at least our mate Stryker knows Cammy Smith's inside leg measurement and whether or not his intimate carpet matches the curtains….that is all that is needed to know.

Look, you can bag Blocker for taking uninformed potshots at a former employer…. but if there's one thing I trust him entirely about, it's buffets.
I can cop his opinion on the Idris signing, even though I totally disagree; but his comments regarding the current management is just sour grapes and trouble making. I think the current board and management team are doing the best job we've seen in many years. Who is Roach referring to anyway? Pascoe is relatively new, Kelly Egan is brand new, the board is fairly new??? It a shame O'Neill didn't work out but I think the club handled that swiftly and quietly. Does Roach have an issue that the club is majority Western Suburbs owned and run?
