100% correct. If Nepotism didn't exist you wouldn't have the Murdoch Packer and Trumps of the World. Of course young Arthur was going to have his crack same as young Cleary and Flanagan were always going to have theirs. After that though it's what happens on the field that matters alone.
Yes I agree that in life it's generally who you know and not what you know. However in league, we generally don't see it that often in 1st grade, so when it's shoved down our throats and this blatantly obvious, it tends to leaves a rotten sour taste in your mouth.
And I also agree that's it's not so much the blatant familial bias bit it's the affect its having on the teams cohesion, fluidity and confidence. If JA deserved the call ups, no issues, but the fact is he hasn't and it rubs off on the players - whether they fess up to it or not is another question but you can sense it's there festering just below the surface.
Well said captain and take note of the wise LB, not the yahoo's on this site that want to overreact to anything, most of them couldn't lead a passionfruit vine up a chain wire fence.
"We have also had a lot of injury prone players that has been impacting our squad for a few years now. R. Penisini seems to have been injured for 3 years now, AMS, Haze Dunster, Bailey, Matterson. As you said it's no coincidence that Russell and JAC…"
"It's possible definitely but based on the current form especially of the Titans game, injury list, obvious fitness levels it's going to be a real struggle. Yes, the Eels are scoring points when they're really focused in on the match but they're…"
"Just so you understand its the rhetoric of how it would be seen by the NRL with regard to us paying a transfer fee to St George in lieu of a cap inclusion.
I don't expect you to understand that and I am not even sure it will work....but its the cap…"

Well said hoe, this whole things been a hyperbole
Totally agree on HOE

Mitch Moses would be an ideal captain in my opinion
A million percent agree. Moses should be captain and he and Gutho certainly have tension.
that will happen at captains run. I dont think he'll accept blame but he'll emphasise he's the one picking the team and how it was everyones fault.
Why do you need to blame Snottie, enough has been said already.
