the mauler said:Mate with all due respect, you've been the one ripping into Snake , Foz , Choc ect non stop for weeks.
I get that, but as I stated above, I heard from the horses mouth, that as Ice T says, **** aint like that". Also, lifes too short, and I've come to the realisation, that what will be, will be.
If Foran goes, maybe we throw a lifeline to Carney, or Norman or someone. If Matai goes, Brett Morris. Maybe we improve, maybe we don't. Forget those suggestions if you disagree with them, put in other players.
Do I think these guys could handle the media much better? Yes. But at the same time, they are kids, earning lots of money and are Gen Y, so have little loyalty and passion for the brand, like the Steve Menzies, Darren Lockyer type of era players.
As a season ticket holder, all I want is to watch players who want to play for us, and have fun, and that's what I think our team are lacking. We've gone from a team where Heath Le'Strange and Brett Stewart play paper, rock, scissors on the field, to a team that appears they hate each other.
If I'm honest, I feel exactly the same way about that as I have always done, but what's the point in complaining about it anymore? What will be, will be. At least I have faith that Warwick, Toovey and Perry will de-weed the bad seeds. They need to get a verbal commitment from the players who remain.
We need that passion back again. A player or two who play for the club and the fans. Can't remember the last time a player kissed our emblem like a few of The Rabbits kids did last night after they scored.
That's why I love watching Jesse Sene-Lefao play. Kid just loves it. Completely loves it. It's why Wolfman was so magnetic when he burst onto the scene. Choc looks and is playing unhappy. Most of the playing group are. They look beaten. That's not something that is synonimous with this club of ours over the past decade.
I look forward to the rebuild. There's no point death riding the players. Their performance on the field is what will dictate their quality. We may lose 6 of our last 8 games of this season. If other teams want to pay millions and millions for that, good luck to them.
Lastly, why make a post about a poster? We are debating footy. Is it to get likes? Be better than that. It's Rocker mentality. Play the ball rather than the man. Move on. Show some class mate. Rise above that petty BS. If you do get likes, it proves my point.
