5 different people laughed at his post, including you.

Please block me, and I will do the same.

Cheers.

I laughed at his post? How did I register the laughing? So you think agreeing or disagreeing with a post warrants branding a whole group of supporters as a toxic virus? That's interesting.
Unfortunately, I don't get to block posters. I have to read all the shit.

Sorry to hear that bud, I am sure you have more pressing matters to attend to.

Thoughts & prayers.

Mate, there's a group of passionate supporters on here who have been around for a LONG time, yeah sure we often disagree on shit, sometimes it's parochial, but we all understand each other and we keep it civil. We regularly have digs at each other but when we wake up the next day the sun is shining and we just get on with it. It never gets nasty and we'd like to keep it that way.

Absolutely, I agree in totality.

But I think laughing at another poster in groups, and dismissing his very considered argument is not civil at all.

I don't really have a dog in the fight, I am just pointing out the hypocrisy.

BR would be a great addition to the Trump Whitehouse.

Or to Dismal Pillock's Travelling Circus.

Not sure what the difference is tbh.

Michael, the excitement of RWC can only be diminished by gratuitous political smart-arsery.

OK so much titchy around here there must be a RWC happening.

I’m pretty happy with the selections and note I might not have been pre selection panel. We don’t see what these guys see, and we don’t know the selection strategy (rotation, different emphasis on different opposition etc).

Really keen for kick off.

I can see that it might look that way, but we’ve all been laughing at each other for quite a while around here and don’t take it personally. BR sets himself up for some good arrows now and again, that post was a case in point. But he would have known it was coming, it’s all good.

You still have not pointed out where I laughed at his post. In fact I didn't even respond to his post. Or to others quoting it. Or replying to it. So please, explain the hypocrisy or shut the fuck up.

Haha do as I say, not as I do.

If you were not one of the 5 or so that piled in then I apologise Cycopath.

But please, show a little bit of decorum.

Same old Tranquility. Hard for you to admit you were wrong.

If I have got it wrong, I put my hand up, but I have seen that type of Tah-centric mentality on here for a long time.

Even as recently as "Foley isn't worldclass but he is the best we have, so we should not consider anyone else."

I think all of this pent up tension is a good indicator that Wallaby fans on here and elsewhere are engaged and dialled in this for this World Cup.

Lets go Wobs.

I think your handle should be closer to narcisscyclist as it was never about you mate, you made it about yourself.

Been outpointing you for a long while though, so happy for you to keep having a go.

I agree with most of this post except for the second sentence. ‘Tah-centric mentals’ or not, to my knowledge no one ever said that. What people were saying was, until Lilo stepped up a few months ago, that there weren’t any other viable options at 10. Beale had failed, so had To'omua. It wasn’t just Tahs supporters saying this, it was a vast majority but of course there were dissenters. Most of the opposition to this fact was from the Quade Brigade. It’s a lot different to what you were inferring though.

But yeah, it’s the World Cup, bring it on!

 

[Derpus]

I mean the attitude of the supporters.

Your lack of self-awareness is hitting BR levels.

The Wallabies had to bring in a selection panel so that the selections weren't so Tah-Centric!!

Anyway, Richmond just won, so I am off to have a few beers.

Good night gents.

Thanks mate, if it angers the established tribe to comment in packs, then I must be doing something right!

Up the Wobs

Just wow. I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of being "Tah-centric"

Obviously my own cognitive biases makes my perceptions (as a non-Tah) of the Tah commentary seem more lop-sided than it is!

So I take that into account, but also the parochialism of the individual unions and then the fact that we need to come together makes this sport very unique and special to be a dyed in the wool supporter.

Appreciate your measured notes, enjoy your day tomorrow.

What happened after the selection panel came in?

Why do you think they insisted Cheik couldnt pick the team on his own anymore?

Read the tea leaves.. gotta go boys, my uber is here.
