Welcome back on the bandwagon

[Tommy Smith]

Interesting words from Robbo in the preseason... "given our pre season we couldn't afford to peak too many times."

What a brilliantly timed run to the finish line by a great coaching and conditioning staff.

he was a harder slappa than the turkey slappa

BUT…..he was good fun LOL

[roosterproud]

even then cowboy mad still denied the roosters had any influence over the cows. linnet. tamou etc

Exactly.

Just had one bone head in here that hates The Roosters (love it!) and he reckons the only reason easts & Manly win games is they deliberately give away penalties…..yes, that old chestnut.

It was hard not to laugh in his face.

Yes, we get our share of nuffies in our store :/

Like I bin sayin, it's a Melbourne cup for us this year

unlike our sprint last year

That should read "interesting comments in the press conference following the Souffs game."

He's spot on.

How many Premiers hit the ground running then run out of steam?

The last 3 did - Dragons, Manly and Storm.

[Ray Stehr]

Final call:
Tommy Smith ... check
Chook... check

Ray Stehr Cogburn...Ray Stehr Cogburn...Ray Stehr Cogburn!!! Where are you grumpy old man?




All aboard... toot... toot.

When did I write the team off? Please show me.

You're kidding Ray, didn't take much effort to find the following quote from yourself, amongst others:

"We are nowhere near souffs or Manly atm so we will be making up the numbers. Our only hope is for us to suddenly find our form from last year. We shouldn't have any trouble putting the Tigers away next week but for us to win the comp from here will take something remarkable and I don't think the team has got it in them"

[Ray Stehr]

Well all that quote says is atm we are crud. Nothing there that says I wrote the team off just that they need to improve to win which is 100% correct. You blokes have got nothing.

Sure thing Ray. "I don't think the team has got it in them" sure sounds like a write off to me. You know it.

[Ray Stehr]

I don't think is not I'm 100% sure.

I like the power trip people get on when they spring quotes from throughout the year from other posters, people bag and praise the team according to how they are playing at the time.

Just because somebody doesn't think we are playing that well at a certain time, does not mean they do not want them to win, does anybody really care if someone on a forum tells someone else "I told you so"?

If that makes people feel good and gives them a power trip, then good luck to them. Wouldn't bother me one bit, and I'm sure it wouldn't bother the so called death riders.

But in this case Ray actually challenged us to find posts where he'd written us off. They weren't hard to find.

Some people have so much time on their hands to scroll through irrelevant forums to prove a point. When I win lotto, I might do the same.
