He's just an arrogant little prat with a pan-face and a really stupid "fan club". A few years ago during one particular beasting we have now got used to, I remember him scoring at the 'Pharm in front of the away fans and doing that footballer thing of turning his back to us and pointing to his name on the shirt with both hands. Proper grated on me.
Basically, I have an irrational dis-like of the bloke. As fans, it's allowed and encouraged in certain circles.

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Oh I'm not saying it should be any other way, I was just curious.
Basically I avoid this angst by thinking that everyone is an idiot and a complete bell end and then being presently surprised when they're not.

| Quote: barham red "Bit of a silly post really, just because Leeds have won x titles and Warrington have won the CC a couple of times doesn't mean their HBs are better (not saying they're not BTW). The balance of their sides is better, the team as a whole is miles better.
If London signed Thurston and an in his prime Lockyer as 6 and 7 but kept the same pack and backs they wouldn;t win the GF.'"
So you dont think putting Sinfield alongside Dobson would improve your team, the worlds number 1 player and all that? Personally cant stand Sinfield but dont doubt his ability to drag Leeds out the mire as he does so very often. (For what its worth I'd have him at Hull any day of the week and twice on a Friday) The halves are the heartbeat of the team and have a massive influence on a teams performance and balance, so in answer to your second question, London with Thurston and Lockyer at the helm would be well up their challenging for honours though probably not winning things.

Also, barham red didn't ask a question, nevermind two questions. So, what second question are you answering?

So in essence I was correct, you agree if London had Thurston at 7 and an in his prime Lockyer at 6 they probably wouldn't have won 6 titles or 2 CC's. SO unless you're saying that HB pairing wouldn't be the best then it proves you can have the worlds best HB pairing and not win anything.
Unless you have good backs and a good pack adding to good HB's then you wont win things. The pack lay the platform, the backs run the lines, yes you need the backs to finish it but the team that wins things doesn't necessarily have the best pairing.

Apparently you weren't asking questions so not sure I should respond (or would that be pedantic!!) but I guess deep down I'm agreeing with you with an added caveat that you can have the best pack and set of backs but without the half backs to bring it all together you won't win jack. A world class halfback will lift a team to greater heights, on his own, than a world class prop would. Thinking Peter Sterling at Hull and Brett Kenny at Wigan in relation to Les Boyd at Warrington
