IF YOU DON`T COME FIRST YOU COME LAST #3

Some members appear to be suffering a loss between the ears. We all get it as we get older- so don't fret!  Vince Lombardi, the great NFL coach and executive in the National Football League had a winning percentage of 73.8% from a career that extended from1959 to 1970. He had this to say about my title. "WINNING ISN`T EVERYTHING, IT`S  THE ONLY THING.! " He also put it this way "WINNING ISN`T EVERYTHING BUT WANTING TO WIN IS."!

I speculate that "If you don`t come first you come last" is derived from and means the same as the two Lombardi gems. It is said that there is nothing new under the sun. But to some everything is new under the sun!

Compare Arthur`s premiership-winning percentage of 0% to Lombardi`s.!!. Is it any wonder that some fans actually want to win a premiership, whereas the majority are happy to come last when they don`t come first. Suck it up because is more to come. ( Assuming, of course,  that there are no further outrageous rule changes coming from that font of all things right and proper--the NRL !)

  • Plenty here are carrying on like petulant teenagers whose mummy won't let them play Fortnite. Have a little tantrum and slam your bedroom door yelling "I hate this family". 
    It's all very expected behaviour but it doesn't make it legitimate. 
    My point is, if you've got some alternative plan that the club should have pursued in 2021 (not what it should have done some years ago) then by all means express that and we can all discuss it. But all these whining blogs and comments and pointless. 

  • The Eels are like a 1 night stand, if we don't come first we might not cum at all.

  • Yawn, find something new to whinge about. Better yet find another club to support. Sury your life cant be that pathetic you have nothing better to do than spin the same old song over and over and over.

  • Robert mate--Do think Souths are feeling they came last?

  • Until 6 days ago Ivan Cleary had a 0% premiership winning percentage as well, the Panthers even rehired him despite that record.

    Just sayin

  • "If you don't come first, you come last" is from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

    Congratulations, you played yourself.
