Thank god for that PT

I’ve never spoken harshly about Jordan, I’ve justifiably criticised certain incidences when the evidence has been clear to see but it’s never been personal or out of order. I’ll take an average player who puts his heart and soul into a game over a talented player who can’t be d everytime
My point is that all players have families and they’ve always had to sit in a stand with someone being overly critical and accept that it’s part and parcel of it all, good and bad. You can’t just lap up the compliments and take your bat and ball home when you hear something critical.



That kind of abuse, well, ‘‘twas ever thus!
I haven’t ever heard or read any comments that are in that category but that isn’t to say they haven’t happened!

Not at all, just realistic, read my reply above!

If you think that my first comment is awful then you better steel yourself because the worlds a nasty place and social media is even worse.

And you are contributing to it.

There is nothing wrong with criticising a players performance, but it's nearly always pushed too far.

And another, my post was about family and friends of players understanding that players, even great players, get both praise and criticism. You can’t lap up the former and then whinge about the latter.

My post wasn’t a comment on Jordy

Contributing to it, how exactly?

By validating that it's OK to abuse people because it's a player and that's the way the world is.
I'm not saying you are abusing anyone

It was not the sort of post I would have expected from you, if your not having a go why post it on this thread.

I am big boy now and well aware of the "nasty world" we live in, as if that validates your comments.

Think you'll find - in all honesty - that Jordy was getting stick nearly all the time for performing and doing his best compared to some of the others in the team and actually taking pride in wearing the RW&B.
Think your post is extremely harsh and narrow minded.

Always got on ok with BLM, on here and face to face.

Although he's not the best 13 in the world, and there are some out there that have a creative spark to their game, I'll be disappointed if he does go. He's a lad who always gives 100%, and that will be two like that, we have lost in 12 months, yet we have some players, who at times, look like they couldn't care less.

It's players like him that we should be keeping.

Hopefully, a fresh pair of eyes will see things differently, in terms of player recruitment and retention.

Take it you mean with last line ,a new coach.Hope you are right .This Dads army squad is a disgrace .Get some speed and youth in the team big time

I'm sure players expect criticism if they haven't played well and this site is one of those where supporters can air their views about players and express criticism.
Problem is, as with FB and other social media sites, some gutless, cowardly keyboard warriors go one step further hiding behind their anonymous status and remarks do get personal, from contributors who probably wouldn't dare say it face to face.

Can live in hope, but I can think of more than one person.

Jordan is a great lad and totally committed when he plays and always was as a junior. A squad of 13 JCs would now have some points on the table. Shedding Batch, Aydin, Hall and Murphy ( plus Miller, Fifita, Arona, Toupou, Johnstone) is a hard pill to swallow. Ripping the guts from the team has ripped the guts from fans.
Heart and commitment often improve a player’s contribution and fan’s perception and enjoyment. Watching a team give 100% is all we can ask. If ever there was a moment to trash your legacy, this is it. This is a mess to put it mildly.

Absolutely and even with those players, we finished 10th, something we wont manage this season.
Our aspirations now are not to be nilled and to hope that another club goes bust.
