WTF, i just had a gander and they’re so nice over there! Talking up all of our players. Saying how good Clarke has been and that he should play on Sloane.
Think i might go hang out in their match preview thread for a while.
I glanced through and haven’t got to the bits where they’re complimentary about us but it does stand out how similar they’re criticism of their coaching panel is to our own
Gifting games to elder statesmen ahead of focusing on developing younger players
Stubbornly refusing to address glaring structural issues
Playing players out of position
Failing to challenge and address internal failings despite 20 years without a flag.
Senior players and coaches being very very comfortable with themselves and not taking well to being challenged on performance
Seriously it reads exactly like most of our threads over the last decade
Yep i noticed that too, lots of similarities in how they view where their team is at. Just goes to show that simply making it to a grand final wont ultimately make fans happy.
They were really pumping us up in their match preview thread. Now in their match day thread they fully turned the focus on their perceived shortcomings. Most of them think they’re losing this match.
They’re a nice enough mob though. Maybe i’m just still shocked at what i read on the North board last week.
