Quote: Seth "The problem is where people look foolish is that the whole board is a peeing contest and debates arent conducted as they would be in person, instead you get these statements without proper counterbalance, ie 'yeah good point, I just think...''"
I would agree - but the childish/triumphalist nature of those putting the boot in e.g. your post, doesn't encourage the correct level of debate. So don't complain when you are part of the problem. Its schoolyard bullying and reflects very badly on most who join in.
Hardaker has definitely kicked this season helped by playing in a dominant side. He still has aspects of his game that can be improved. His apologists would do well to accept his failing when they are pointed out rather than bleat/distract and blame somebody else.
