A Badge of Incompetence?

Why is it that we have so many supporters who think it is a noteworthy past time to guess how many points we will beaten by?

Cumberland Eel thought it was so clever to say a 64 point margin, BEM in deference to me did not want to put a number on it, because he was worried (tongue in cheek) it would upset me.

I see the match blog reflecting the same sort of negativity, as if everyone wants to get in a criticism as if they get points pointing out the negativity.

Some comments are constructive and others just dumb.....certain players are "focused" on because they don't like the player, no points for the "haters".

We we can all be critical, but it can also be constructive in that critique, I note Bup criticises constructively in what they need to do. Others turn on anything negative like its a Badge of Honour who can come with the best example of how clever they are in recording mistakes......

Admit it if you have said anything a match day blog that  subsequently made you look like a fool......

  • There were some of them who do it most weeks, who tipped us by 30 last week. I found it better they tipped us to lose to be fair hahaha.

    But I do put it down to complaining is more fun than praising. It's human nature at times. Look at different platforms, the most entertaining videos or podcasts are when people are complaining. I watch movie reviews on YouTube. The ones with the most views most of the time are the negative reviews.

    i tip us everyweek no matter what but even I though maybe it could happen but might be bridge too far. I thought like 24-12 type of game.

  • Current state of the nrl is any team can beat any other team on the day if they complete their sets and play a solid game. Even the titans on their day can put on a score. Whole lot of talent in the nrl 

  • When you have a player like Mitch Moses on your team he can lead you to a win v anyone if he's on. He's that calibre of player 

    • yes LB you are a constructive critic (except when you lose your objectivity LOL) 

      Actually we all are and have been guilty of it....losing objectivity.

      You have probably haven't noticed but I argue extensively sometimes (lol), just to give a contrarian view to draw out better/fuller discusssion. Take Micky No Brains for example, he qualifies (tries to) every comment he makes as an insult to the incumbent. He criticises guys like Michael W who has played more football than he (MNB) has had breakfasts.

      When you cant respect your opponent, it means you usually have no respect for yourself.

      • We didn't respect Souths, I believe Easts didn't respect us.

        I said to those around me beforehand, if I was Robinson this is the game I would put the most into in terms of prep. Particularly after Dolphins loss. They win, top 8 is sealed up. But they choked. Yes they lost Walker but I bet they still could get through with talent alone with high completions but they panicked.

      • Please let us know how does purposely taking a 'contrarian view' align with offering constructive criticism? 

        I'll offer you a bit of constructive criticism. You should consciously try commenting with the meaning behind your last sentence.

  • Your one negative clown..we witnessed the clubs best win years and this irrelevant blog still has legs 

    Do us a favour and have a social media break..your insights on the game are rubbish 

    • Mickey no brains, you don't take advice very well.....here you are still reading my blogs.

      • He's lucky he's trousers are on pop's. 

        • KENDOZA There is an old saying sometimes it is better to give than receive LOL

"That's why I wrote the blog.... Its the opportunity to say so.
I didn't expect them to win.  Its just the hope of doing so that keeps me interested.
I actually thought the way Easts had been playing, they were the form team of the comp. To beat them…"
