Giansiracusa's last season

Maybe that will stop your bleating.

I agree with you. I am over the way he goes on about Gia. He is going to be pretty bored for the next couple of weeks and next year when he is gone. Oh that's right, he will start on about his coaching.

We know he is far from perfect. But for Gods sake - give it a rest. Like a broken down old record.

I find much of this personally offensive and deeply insulting...

I love Gia and always have, in fact I was a massive defender of his when people were potting him very unfairly for many years. He's a club champion and I've gone to great lengths to highlight that my issue is with a strategy or match day tactic in which doesn't relate to him as a person or player. I don't get the comments about my high regard for his coaching attributes or him being or not being perfect. I have no idea why you think I think his coaching wouldn't be valued and that he would make an excellent coach. I've not once attacked Gia, not once. I've not slandered anyone. I've asserted that a strategy/tactic of a permanent sub isn't working. That's it. I'm assuming if this strategy/tactic is so good that all the others clubs would have caught on by now. There's nothing personal whatsoever, no malice or I'll will. I've gone to pains to make clear it's about our subbing strategy only. But apparently posting about an issue I'm passionate about, because I see an opportunity for us to potentially succeed or improve must be jumped all over with inane comments insinuating something other than what the issue is I'd like to highlight. Some people disagree on list management, players we retained last year, people disagree on in and outs, people disagree on strategy such as one or two rucks, or methods of development and a myriad of other things etc, etc. It doesn't mean it's negative, trite to other. We are all trying to work to ultimate success and as members or supporters we all have some different views about how we achieve premiership nirvana or win from week to week on the journey.

BT, I'm sorry if I've been rude. I should remind myself in the future to wait at least an hour after losses to post. Of course you are entitled to your view. The issue for me on this particular topic is that your view contradicts the evidence, and opposes the views of everyone else here. At the very least, it is not in keeping with the priorities of everyone else. This is a topic you're too invested in. You need to accept defeat on this one and drop it. Otherwise all you're showing is disrespect for the views you claim to hold so dear.

No mate, no issue with you although bleating was a tad harsh, but thanks for your post just now. I don't mind people passionately disagreeing with me, not at all. I disagree that this issue is null and void but our views are clear, and I don't have an issue with disagreement. The reality is all footy clubs including ours make mistakes with all sorts of issues, it's an inevitability because you can't not make some mistakes over a long enough time. Sometimes I see in my opinion mistakes being made and say so, and this is one such issue. At the time people have lauded decisions as great (see much of the Rhode era) but history says otherwise. But I tend to agree that I'm in the minority although others have intermittently agreed with me and not seen since (! ) so I will park it, but the other post from Max was rubbish and ignorant of every post in here lauding Gia, but again I appreciate your post.

Re: Giansiracusa's last season

We need an unpopular opinions thread. I thought Wallis was poor today yet some posters have him in their votes

I'm not game enough to start it, , but it would be a brilliant thread for exchanging opinion in a vacuum of that being the basis for the thread.
