@Russell I’ve already answered that . I wasn’t referring to you . My apologies . Also Geo , It’s a common theme in this forum , where a select few ,take over threads ,spewing negativity , and it’s all based on basically emotion . I’m bailing on this site .There’s very little actual discussion. And mainly it’s tantrums and gossip.Russel has some good points , and I’ve seen some good ones from you , but there’s a lot of posters like for example Gold Coast Tiger , who always seem to be negative . The Mbye thread is like this . The brooks is like this , the game threads are like this if we lose . And this thread is like this.
And when people differ for years I’ve watched the same old suspects , gang up on people . It’s kind of sad really . I decided to stop lurking , and say that I think it’s all whinging ,And borderline schizophrenia. I’m out ,
Good luck in the echo chamber of negativity

@Spud_Murphy yep , I meant the guys that attacked me for calling them whingers . Sorry to tar all with the same brush

I’m just talking about Geo and W2TK and anybody else throwing sarcasm out ,or dismissive comments . They are whinging and there’s nothing constructive being said. And I didn’t say I was better , I’m just saying that type of support is the worst . To still keep holding onto the negativity on Monday afternoon is strange to me .
Everybody’s predicted team this year had Moms, NoFa , Packer and Taylor in it . None of those guys are near the team .
Clarke and Mikalele are so called finds , but most of us who saw Mikalele ,at least, said for sure he was going to play NRL.
The style in attack is way better than last year (22 on the best defender in the league ) . And the defender is there as well

Haha and there it is ! I was waiting for it ! All aboard the negative train ! If they played poorly , you all would have a leg to stand on . But youre now just a bunch of sore losers .
Resorting to sarcasm and immature posts, to validate an argument based on pure nonsense .
And then you all back each other up , like a lefty calling someone a nazi , because the loudest voice is the one everyone hears .

@Russell geez , you must have a happy life ! Seriously , you guys are the worst fans . I’m passionate too , but you guys are just disloyal and lack conviction. I would hate to have been in a trench with you mate . Say something constructive for gods sake

@Furious1 we are paying like 450 for him , the dogs are picking up the rest . If the average NRL wage is 305k . Are you saying he is not worth 145k above median ? Of course he is .
Here’s another 1. If teddy RTS and Boyd are on over 1mil . are you saying that it’s not good business for a , borderline origin player to be on 450k ? . Or if you allocate 3.2 mil for your spine . (That’s 800k each ) that it’s also not good business to have him on 450k.
None of you haters are thinking about this logically

@Geo Have you had a major injury before ? I have and it can take years to gain trust in certain things . But your right I just meant he had the MCL . I wasn’t sure if he had minor surgery .

@crazycat He’s in his 2nd year playing fullback lol It was well published that he didn’t play it at any point . Also you have a short memory . Mbye was great for both The dogs and us last year. He’s had a knee op. If you knew anything you’d realise That all knee issues can take a while to trust your body again .DWZ is being shipped out to Parra . Is that a coincidence ? Dufty ? You’re kidding ! Watch him play , teams short kick early all the time because he’s notoriously lazy . It’s the reason Mary was shopping him . I’m happy with the fullback situation. If Dylan Smith progresses then Mbye could be a Kurt Gidley type. And that’s not a knock.

@crazycat ??? He’s playing fullback buddy . Hence why he was put there , as he’s an instinctive player . Hasler rated him , Pay rated him, Cleary rated him , Madge rated him , Meninga rated him , Walters rated him . Random fickle , immature Forum posters hate him . YEP He SUX. Watch Dufty play . He’s never in the right spot . Watch TMM and Hampton and Kahu and it’s the same . Boyd is soft . Edwards is full of errors . Dugan is a crap cause he gets injured and can’t pass . Valentine Homes couldn’t pass so was a crap fullback . DWZ same .Ponga does nothing all game , makes a break in garbage time and suddenly he’s the greatest. Do you see a pattern here ? Everyone has Pros and Cons Unless you’re Tedesco or RTS the fans aren’t happy . And they’re generational talents . It’s funny because when teddy was here you guys would spit the dummy and call him crap when he had an off game . It’s like watching 4 year olds have a tantrum because mum said no to ice cream .

God some of you guys are the worst judges. Brooks , Twal , Mbye and … dum dum dum ! Thompson are rated highly in league circles. Thompson is a roughie for QLD. Same as Twal. Crichton or any 2nd rowers get injured and Matto is first drop . Mbye is on the QLD radar. Brooks to me is the Bret Kimorley of this gen. Will get there one day .
