Mr Bulldog,
So sometimes you read some rubbish and sadly you have to make a comment, but I do it under my real name!
So, Mr Bulldog or whatever your real name is, please stand up and be counted and put your real name up here so we all know who you are instead of hiding behind your computer or phone.
People are absolutely entitled to their own opinions on the Karlmichael Hunt scenario and other matters for that matter, that have transpired over the years where people have made poor choices etc for sure!
But if you want to be taken seriously or any credence placed or given to your actual comments, opinion and thoughts and you are all entitled to your opinions whether positive or negative.
But, you should have the fortitude, decency not to hide behind an alias on Social Media nor on here at Rugby Green and Gold.
Like Kevin Walter’s suggested this week in relation to comments about the State of Origin team from keyboard warriors hiding in cyberspace etc!
It suggests to me and many others that you a not a considered or decent reasonable person plus you may lack some calcium in your spine as you aren’t brave enough to type your comments and put your name to them, plus stand by those comments!
So, in short, I find as others at Souths, most in the key positions of the club find your defamatory biased opinion against South’s and some of our players very offensive, and pathetic.
So, I would also add that also suggests to me you haven’t been a member of a West’s for long or if at all for that fact.
As like all Clubs in the game of Rugby and all sports for that matter we all have players and members that have made plenty of mistakes in their lives over the years.
Trust me there plenty that have crossed the line and made mistakes.
But instead, you have decided to defame all members of my Club South’s past and present a club that has been around since in 1948 with your ill-informed comments.
You have deemed to be the Judge and jury on a send-off for one of our players too.
He made a mistake he has paid the plenty that they QRU Judiciary deemed appropriate if you so aggrieve again lodge an appeal but if you do that you have to put your name to it!
As I have said I wouldn’t imagine you would hold and position of note in that great club of Wests!
You have decided also to bag another player from South's our number 8 because of the way you see that game and how he plays it, again we are all not the same we do see things differently but your biase here is the problem with that sad comment.
What actual qualifications have you in the game of Rugby to be so judgmental or an expert?
My challenge is to you and others if you are brave enough to think it, type it, voice your opinions for sure but put your name to it, end of story and we all move on!
What are you scared of?
Stand by your opinion and your comments, if you actually brave enough to do so thats fine, but I very much doubt it!
Plenty have an opinion and plenty have stated theirs to me today but the difference they are not hiding behind a keyboard at home acting like Judge and Jury like you!
I would suggest that the many good people of Wests that I have known personally for many decades, years quality people would like to know who you are too, as I would presume that would be embarrassed, ashamed for you to be an apparent member of that great suburban club Wests.
Let’s get a few things on the table here also:
The QRU and the ARU are the ones who have dropped the ball here not only with Karlmichael, but also Quade, and other players from the Reds that have hung out to dry this year and isolated no Mental Health Support whatsoever West's also has one player that that happened to this year too plus another player who took a bad option which will he will be reminded for the rest of his life.
They the QRU, if you can remember, had the opportunity to sack Karlmichael Hunt for his first indiscretion a few years ago, which was and is a Criminal Offence they the QRU Board, CEO etc and the ARU decided not to sack him!
So, who is at fault here?
What would happen in your workplace like many others you would be sacked like me etc quite simply.
What Karlmichael Hunt has done with both events, is self-inflicted he has hurt no one except himself, his wife, his kids, his family etc.
His reputation trashed, extremely tarnished etc a guy that has played 3 elite sports at an Elite Level – but again it is all self-inflicted by him and him alone.
No one else.
So, we banish him forever?
What about James Slipper I would hope that Bond would be very supportive of him too and any other player that has a similar plight at any other club.
Can I suggest that Drugs are a major issue in Society worldwide and it does not discriminate against anyone etc sadly?
I don’t have to explain to you nor does our club as to why we have decided to help Karlmichael, quite frankly it’s no one’s business except South’s Rugby Union Club's business.
Other places had the opportunity to do so but they chose not to help him but we have decided to help him so be it.
The Reds and the QRU & the ARU handling of this matter and the game of Rugby, in general, has been abysmal!
Would you prefer that he took another option?
Do you want him to end up like sadly a Dan Vickerman and sadly others!
My club has been compassionate, enough, brave enough to take some positive action and a stand to support someone here to help another human being that is struggling.
It is also irrelevant in any forum or any discussion in relation to him playing finals for Souths this is a welfare-based issue & decision quite simply full stop.
Let’s hope no one in your family or friends ever make a mistake, and you hang them out to dry like you have hung others out on here.
I would presume you have never made a mistake either in your life!
If we get criticism for helping Karlmichael then so be it but do it under your real name not an alias name, please.
But I can assure you and others anonymously defaming members of Souths, the South's Club, in general, say your piece for sure but put your name to it and we all can move on!
I note you refer to South’s as a Model Club?
You are suggesting that everything that every member of Souths does on or off the Rugby field or in the Community is supported or condoned by the South's Club as a whole.
Quite simply what a poor sad view you have if you believe we are happy when our players make poor decisions, choices you are sadly mistaken.
I could say the same about all clubs and your apparent club Wests too, but unlike you, I don’t have a narrow-minded view like you do Mr Bulldog.
If you think that your comments are going to change our minds and the considered opinion on what we have done here, and this decision made, a decision which was not made overnight, you are sadly mistaken.
So again, I am on here under my real name here most people in Rugby circles know me.
I am easily contactable to discuss in person, so I challenge you to put up or shut up, make your comments under your real name and stand by them your opinion and that’s fine and we all move on.
But taking cheap shots behind an assumed name says more about you to be honest!
If you wish to understand our reasoning if that’s what you want to know to call South's and they will put you in contact with me.
But be very careful about defaming an entire club, my club, our President, Coaches, Club Committee, Club members with your ill-informed, slanderous comments online.
Thanks
Ian Cameron.
