nah, your behaviour, noted by staff admin going back several years, speaks volumes about you.

i say let's ignore each other, but you can't do that.

why? I don't need your content nor value your opinion, but you are obsessed with mine.

two-way ignore, twelve months.

a host of other posters will thanks us for it.

the choice is yours

I refer you to the other thread Carts, have a nice day.
 
Gotta give Master Damien Hardwick Esquire or whatever the hell his name is now some kudos - felt he was done at the Tiges, not because of ability, but because of the inexorable passage of time - ten years is the upper limit on coaches at any club IMO. But he won't do a Clarkson and completely bugger the club for the next ten years - one, because he's not a bully, and two, because he's just a great guy. I still think his tenure doesn't have that much longer but i hope he sees out the contract til end of next year at least.

Gold Coast disappointing, but they always beat us. Weird bogey side for us. The Doggies game, the Melbourne game are losses where we showed we still got it in bursts, and as we get more troops and structure back you'll see more of that.

The next four games are massive, and all winnable - Dreamtime, Port at the G, GWS in Sydney (I'll be going) and Freo in the West.

Win these and Dimma will have crammed any notion of rebuild back in the bin where it belongs.

Yeah GC have been an odd bogey side for us, except for our peak between ‘17 - ‘20. Jack kicked 11 against them in ‘18 and we smashed them to kick start the winning run in ‘19.

IMO we struggle to get up for the low middling sides.
On reflection we have since the 17-20 years when we were probably too good for anyone.
In the last few years weve lost to North and GC and WCE. Sides we should beat.
But maybe after all the finals and last saturdays in september we simply dont get a fluff about beating the suns in may.

But we'll beat up the cats every day we can.

You don't do humble, do you Baron. Used to like much of your posting but the level of your arrogance is now boring and unenjoyable to read.

i don't have much time to post these days BT, but i have no issue with this assessment. it is what it is

i also do not invest in some kind of forum "rep" and don't see the point

drop in, drop out, don't think twice about it

When he goes, i hope his relationship with RFC becomes nothing like the Clarkson Hawthorn one - it was stuffed even before the current enquiry fiasco.

Doubt it. His personal relationship was the biggest story which didn't affect the club at all. Both great coaches, but I've seen Dimma a lot closer respect to his players and club than Clarko ever was.

Half the presser was cut out. It went from questions to Clarko then into the Bushfire game.

It seemed to be from that Bushfire Charity State of Origin game before the 2020 season - ex-players wrote to the current-day players playing in similar positions? Don't know why it was raised now?

We dont know because they didnt show the entire press conference. Seems odd.
 
In presser just said we realised the Bummers game plan from their 2nds game and realised it was gonna be a problem.....WHAT!!!

Also admitted Jack's sore and shouldn't be playing.
