Im ashamed to admit I fell for that one. However it wasnt hard to when so many blowhards were on here day after day screeching about this kid coming through the ranks who was elite already. They used the same terminology...superstar.
"you just wait till you see him, he has all the skills"
"I cant wait until we blood him, he will play for Australia"
"future captain of the Tigers"
"he will lead us to premierships, the kid is that good"
"he is the next Joey Johns..."
Cool. Thanks for that. Wankers.
We all did.

Sorta what's happening with Da Silva.... I don't like it

I think it was Gibson that said of players/coaches "if you listen to the fans you'll soon be sitting with them".
Long before social media though

I'd imagine it'd be hard for young players not to search out what's being said

Fainu sounds similar….
 
I'm going to do some business with a Manly supporter customer tomorrow.
I'll secure the order and verify the payment before we start talking footy.
. . . An update: Did the deal, got the money.
When he started saying stuff like "Brooks has been really good lately" I then realised exactly how pathetic we all must sound when we are rationalising the signatures of the myriad of dumb players on our books, to all our mates.

While WT players are in a game picking holes in the defence, we’re picking holes in them.
