The 5/8th spot was a 2 way race between a 1 game rookie and a 12 game import... there was no veteran to lean into here. It was Weekes or Strange.

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
Honest question - after he has officially dropped out of the squad, how is Ata behind Guler and Saulo in our depth chart? I'm obviously just a fan but I have legitimately seen no evidence to say either are better footballers than he is. In fact I'd go as far as to say he is clearly better than both and it appears obvious.
What am I missing?

That Ricky basically lost the dressing room a few years ago - three players wives whinging about him on socials, Hodgo giving up the captaincy, Bateman saga, GWilly saga, Curtis Scott saga, Papa and Huddo dropped to ressies, the wheels were falling off. Elliott stayed loyal when all the other poms didn't. Got rewarded with a big fat extension and given the captaincy even though his form had fallen of a cliff and he was aging fast. Now Ricky is rewarding that loyalty by picking him over younger better players.Wiki Special wrote: ↑March 21, 2024, 9:44 pm Honest question - after he has officially dropped out of the squad, how is Ata behind Guler and Saulo in our depth chart?

I wouldn't be dropping him either.
If this were a finals game and do or die Stick might very well have gone with Ata instead.

It’s an overall picture of why Ata is out of the team and EW is in. The rankings between Ata, Saulo, and Guler is a sideshow to bigger issue.

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
Wiki - I’m not convinced the round 3 selections truly reflect Ricky’s rankings of the three. It is a long season and Ata might not be best served spending all of it getting limited minutes in first grade. I suspect some longer NSW Cup minutes are likely part of the season plan for him. If next week was a knockout final I’m not so convinced we would see Guler and Saulo ahead of Ata.Wiki Special wrote: ↑March 21, 2024, 9:44 pm Honest question - after he has officially dropped out of the squad, how is Ata behind Guler and Saulo in our depth chart?

You high? Who said anything about telling people how to be fans?? You’re making assumptions and speculating on people delivering for the club and not supporting them like diehards do. What is your source here? Honestly, you have some really good views on footy most times but other times you just waffle on and your posts are about as useful as a chocolate teapot.Botman wrote: ↑March 21, 2024, 9:31 pm I think saying fans who dont live and die by results and who arent obsessive about it dont have passion is such a bad mischaractorisation
You can love the team and support the team with absolute passion and still put the sporting result into proper context
And to be clear, that's not how I go about my fandom. I'm an obsessive type... but there are a hell of a lot of fans who arent in the weed like i am who give just as much, if not more to the club than i do. Saying they're not real fans is... i have to be blunt about it... who the **** do you think you are to tell people how to be fans and what they must to qualify as a fan?

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
It’s not that I am disagreeing or agreeing. It just doesn’t make sense. He would be hurting his chances of staying on as coach by signing an underperforming player. What you’re saying isn’t right in any way possible.
I genuinely think it’s sad for people to have agendas. And don’t get me wrong, I think he’s made an absolute motza of the team this week but who am I to judge? He would have considerably more insight than the experts here.

The players he “lost” left. Hodgo, Bateman, GWilly, Sutton. EW stayed and backed the coach, got rewarded for his loyalty. Not saying it’s the smartest decision by the club because he’s still here 3 years later on big coin and not contributing. But it’s happened. I have no agenda. Ricky makes some good decisions, some bad. He’s here for the foreseeable future. I’m not calling for his head.Regs Revolution wrote: ↑March 21, 2024, 10:26 pm It’s not that I am disagreeing or agreeing. It just doesn’t make sense.

So Funchy, in a debate when someone debunks what you have said you don’t just say the same thing again. Reg has made his case against your points so try not to be boring and repetitive and maybe introduce something new. Also feel free to try these helpful hints if anyone ever invites you to a BBQ.Finchy wrote: ↑March 21, 2024, 10:30 pmThe players he “lost” left. Hodgo, Bateman, GWilly, Sutton.

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
So I just sat through the Matt Johns Show to get about 20 seconds of talk about the Raiders.
Souths got more coverage in one episode of 360 than the Raiders have had in all the episodes of the key rugby league shows this season.

Funchy none of that references Guler, Ata or Saulo. You’re awfully confused this evening, and dare I say possibly a little flustered.

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
The argument with Regs is to do with EW and Ricky re-signing him due to loyalty/losing the dressing room. You’re on the sideline throwing pot shots like the troll you are, claiming I’ve been “debunked” when you in fact share the same view point, as your posting history shows. Well done Billy.

I’ve always said originally isn’t your strong point Funchy, but when it comes to identifying a wagon to hitch your ride on you’re up there with the best. I bet your school reports made strong reference to you being an easily led and more a follower than a leader.Finchy wrote: ↑March 21, 2024, 10:46 pm HKR saying the same thing as me: https://www.thegh.com.au/forum/viewtopi ... 9#p1825869

They only talked about the Raiders because they were discussing what’s wrong with the Rabbitohs. The just used the Raiders as an example of the sort of thing the Rabbitohs should be doing! At least there’s a positive side to it, I guess!
