[quote="No7.David.Bishop"]If you look back on the HKR forum I said before that we was selling Burns to saints. I got slated for that and guess what I was RIGHT so why do I need to back my words up and put bull on here. Yes Stan was good when he 1st played for us and no one is denying that but IMO he should never of come back either as a player or a coach. Like every other player who leaves our club we owe them nothing and they will of been payed good money by us to play. But ask the main sponsors of our club about him and you will find out some truths.[/quote]
My comment here doesn't pertain to Stanley Gene. Perhaps I'm wrong and if so I apologise but I must respectfully ask - do you speak from experience -- putting yourself in the firing line match after match to get literally pummelled by players the size of Earl Crabtree etc. time and time again, of getting knocked sometimes senseless in full contact training day after day. It's usually the flashy backs who have been paid the "good money" you speak of, many of the forwards - those putting their bodies, their brains and even their futures on the line are often not paid the salaries some assume, the fortunate ones make enough to pay their mortgage and feed their families just like all the rest of us, but we don't wake up on a Monday morning feeling like we've been hit by a bus. I'm not trying to suggest sympathy is in order, just a little respect for those who have given their all for the love of the Club and the fans.
