Tiresome? I thought it was libelous slander?

We're getting into Schrodinger's cat territory.

If everyone is on ignore is it still possible to libel David Hughes?

What started off a great day, short journey of 16 minutes to Widnes, just never got started on the pitch. I think this is a thread about Sunday's match, which many of us did attend.

Not great but glad I went up but sadly a downhill game when Sean Morris dropped the ball on the opening kick off. However we weren't nilled or shipped 50 points.... that's it.

sums it up, but i'll be back next season, stupid, glutton for punishment or overly-optimistic............................

That implies an element of doubt.

Are you having an existential crisis jaybs?

Normally you're so set in your opinions.

Big Nige is bad, Dave Hughes is good & rugby league is dying as a sport but no criticism of the deadest horse in the comp is allowed.

Can't even get his prophecies of doom right seeing as the Grand Final has just sold out for the first time.

Yes, you started the thread with the intention of using it to be critical of one of the players. However, just about everybody ignored your negativity and talked about the game, but you still claim some kind of ownership of the thread, and then use your "ownership" to abuse another poster.

Gutters, when you stick with facts and figures, you post interesting stuff, though often with more repetition than necessary. So, why not do that, in which case some more of us would consider the points you make?

Wishful thinking on my part, I fear.

not at all.
I posted in another thread the concept of how I would increase attendances at the club and the cost involved. This was as a result of a direct question posed by Michael and what'dya know, he immediately dismissed the facts and figures out of hand.

This is why the repeated comments about Hughes record of failings pop up.....because some people really do believe in Santa, the tooth fairy and the promises made by the club and its owner. I get it that some of the remaining fans just want to watch RL, but surely the penny will drop that the reason the club is starting to feel like a community again is because we've become a community club.....playing on a park pitch with players friends and family outnumbering actual spectators.

I get not one iota of pleasure from saying "I told you so", nor do I enjoy pulling up jaybs and his waning PR skills, but he felt the need to make a pointed comment as to the thread and its purpose so I was obliged to set him straight....again.

By the way, well spotted on the reason d'etre behind the thread. The concept of the game last week being a Grand Final is laughable.........it was nothing more than an afterthought and the fact that our full time team got absolutely hammered by part time and U20's players should be setting off alarm bells for the remaining few.....we need to recruit very well to stand a chance in 2016......and Hughes has said we will have the best or equal best squad in the comp........there's that tooth fairy again!!!!!

Re: Grand Final : Tue Oct 06, 2015 8:41 pm  

Let's just say that our perspectives are different.

One thing in common though, we both attended the same number of games in 2015, unlike jaybs for all his faults, real or imagined.
