Do you see any tension between the two statements I have made bold?

RL fans, and tbf people in general, tend struggle with shades of grey. Rovers fans will mostly take this story at face value, because Willie Peters is going to be part of the ‘Rovers family’, so Dan Ferris will be assumed to be at fault and a ****.

Unless we start 2023 slowly, in which case the fans currently taking issue with some of Smith’s minor oddities of behaviour will no doubt label Peters a short or start spouting cod psychology about small man syndrome.

I’m still just about willing to buy the argument that the slump in Rovers’ form following shortly after the mid-morning of the burning bridges is a coincidence, but its price rises with each poop performance. Fairly or not, once Smith had done that, the relationship was going to get a bit transactional. If we’d have continued winning, people would have assumed Paul Lakin was wrong about COVID vaccinations or Brad Takairangi applying GTA road etiquette to real life or whatever the **** it was, and wondered at his temerity in disagreeing with Tony Smith. But it’s gone the other way, pretty precipitously.
