We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

I was replying to this post of yours, which didn't mention Dixon at all and which talked about kids
Feel free to try and bring me into this circle of chaos if you like but it will have to wait a very long time. I am far more patient than most. My post did not mention Dixon, but it was quite clearly implied as at the end of my post I bring it totally back to the point by saying
"... If we had a Willie Manu at Saints who we were throwing out in favour of a Willie Manu from Hull then there would be a good arguement that we are not doing well by the homegrown players, but we don't, so it's not an arguement..."

There was a real buzz among fans about the local lads and they did bring the enthusiasm to matches that I think has been lacking for most of this season.'"
I think it was more likely that the big match charlies (who made up that increased turnout) thought we'd win the match, having turned over Wigan twice who were favourites and we were playing Leeds who had 'fluked' their way there.
Most fans couldn't care less who's in the team as long as they are winning. |

Nail-to-Head interface squarely hit.
Fill the team with Armenian prostitutes, Bengali coalminers and Martian mercenaries and noone will give a **** as long as they're winning. Fill it with bright eyed idealistic young 'Telliners who all wear the shirt with pride but who are losing and the fans'll be marching on Eamon's house with pitchforks. That's all that matters. |

That could well be the case (on both points). I think we had beaten Wigan in the playoffs before though, yes?
Anectodally, around me at the GF people were talking a lot pre-match about the local lads. |

Once again, a completely unnecessary comment.
Couldn't care less myself. I was just responding to your post. |

Anecdotally, no one around me made any comment about it. |

I would think that said talking was probably started by you as you seem to like ramming your opinion down everybody else's throat!!!!!!!!!! |

Same.
Plenty of disappointed conversation after the game though when we lacked the firepower to become Champions. |

Disappointed or disproportionate because we didn't lose last year's Grand Final because of a lack of firepower. |
