How dare people have the nerve to have opinions and make predictions eh?

Much easier to park your backside on the fence and mock others when they turn out to be wrong than get shot at yourself.

PMSL Owned?

Get a life.

In fairness Andy there's a lot of merit in dredging up these threads and reminding us all about how the usual subjects continually write off the chief exec, the coach and the players. Its' not like its' a one off this season either. It happens annually/

The dredging up of such threads could be classed as educational for those posters being embarrassed.

Or it could be classed as a smug few attempting to belittle and humiliate those with whom they have had disagreements over the course of the year and "settle" personal scores.

Either way, it's not a particularly edifying spectacle. I thought that kind of thing might have died a death with the departure of a particular contributor, but it seems others are more than happy to take up that mantle in his absence for the sense of smug self satisfaction they derive from it.

Sorry but I disagree.

Is it uncomfortable for some? Probably. But this is a public forum and if you post an opinion you can expect to have it challenged. The validity of posts suggesting the chief exec has no idea, the coach is clueless and the players are not good enough is best examined at seasons end when we can see what the team has done.

Do you want a forum where posters can slate our players, coach and management and not be held accountable? It won't happen on my watch.

thats what happened to Loz, he doesn't post on rugby issues on here anymore because he got shown up over and over again!

Shame on you Ricky, shame on you.

Laughing at the ignorance of others is never funny.

Laughing at people pretending to be injured then making Lazarus (and I don't mean Glen) style recoveries however...

That’s the problem Andy, after winning two grand finals in a row then going into the next season with the same squad and being favorites to win a third then when you lose a couple of games people are calling for the team to be dismantled, that’s not constructive debate it’s just ridiculous knee jerking. A bit like suggesting the team who finished 10th are better than a team who has won the last 3 grand finals.

It's an opinion expressed on a forum. If you don't agree with it, counter it.

Going back months after the event and dredging up old threads solely in order to thumb your nose at those who held that opinion at that time is the equivalent of rubbing a puppy's nose in a puddle of wee six months after it did it.

It serves no purpose, other than to give those doing it a warm glow of self satisfaction at how clever they are.

Someone had an opinion. It differed from someone elses. One of them turned out further down the road to be right. Let it go and move on FFS rather than dancing around like a street accordionists monkey in keyboard warrior mode.

Fair point Andy but it's only a bit of light hearted I told you so banter, I've not seen any name calling......yet

Don't forget that it humiliates the fekkwitts as well.

If you don't want to be made a fool of with hindsight, just agree with whatever danny or g1 say

I disagree.

Some of the things posted during bad runs are completly ridiculous, just ludicrous stuff.

Like someone suggested we needed to break up the current team, the greatest in our history, because they'd been playing together too long.

Totally bonkers and deserves dredging up.

My theory on this is that although it proved that people saying how the season panned out were proved to be correct, that doesn't mean that some of the critisism wasn't valid or warranted.

I'm fairly confident that the people who say wait and see this year were saying similar in 2006, when the tag line of 'wait until July' was coined for new signings.
