As a fellow Aussie can I ask you to give it up Mate.

You "patrol" two forums and blanket them with your opinions to the point of suffocating any other debate.
Unless you are incapacitated and this is your main focus in life its time to get a life Matey.
I have never like the term "Ugly Aussie" and always thought it was bullsh@t but you are making me think there is some truth in it.
Get onto "Sportal" forums and get a robust debate going there.

On Hindmarsh if I had said he was a bad defender OK but I didn't - all I did was compare one missed tackle with another.

On Finch you think because he kicked a drop goal in an origin game 3 years ago that makes him a good player - I don't agree on what I see on the TV - that is a matter of opinion.

On Smith you think because he won the Dally M rookie in 2005 that makes him a good player now - I pointed out his recent form has been poor a point even you agreed with - whether he can recapture the form of 2005 even you don't know - I have seen Smith live 5 times and his influence on the result has been non-existent going forward but calamitous in defence. I am basing my opinion on the here and now you are basing your opinion on form of 3/4 years ago.

ill conceed that halves and five eights make around 15 - 25 tackles a game, not the 30 i claimed."


Fact is, more than one third of all halves make less.

yeah, i can see why we have pages and pages.

especially when your views are so clueless on the nrl.

the funny thing is, its not as if you are close.

nathan hindmarsh is one of the best tacklers in the nrl.

any idiot knows it.

dally messenger wrote:i post the same way on another forum except there you dont get english fans trying to outdo aussie fans on the nrl. they accept where they dont have a clue and dont talk BS.

i just see people posting absolute BS and reply.

if people dont want to debate, thats perfectly fine by me.

i started this thread, not anyone else, so nobody forced anyone onto this thread. pick another thread there are loads of others.

im trying to provide additional information which i get access to which you people dont ie the australian media and magazines. if people dont appreciate this information, then dont bother responding

dally messenger wrote:the last 5 pages of debate came from a couple of lines i said on mcguire

i didnt say he was a poor player and i didnt say he couldnt make it in the nrl.

but some people have a large chip on their shoulder and then just ran with it.

i noticed that most people that watch the nrl, including people of english background all doubted whether mcguire would get a spot at 6 in the nrl.
