Onboard

Holly Dooly, just watching replay of tigers/Broncos after missing it. Schoolboy errors.

fair warning to all, I jumped on, so cross your fingers, clench your buttcheeks and pray the wagon doesn't hit a pothole and spontaneously combust.

Thanks mate. Long way to go though.

Who do you have playing today?
Ponga, Pearce, Murray and Marty for me.

I wasn’t online last night but I feel survivor guilt about hype-training Oates all week then wussing out of the trade at about 744. Then trading him back in at 749. Then out again at 753 for good.

Especially as if one was to believe in jinxes then my mentioning how well he was scoring basically coincided with his horrific looking injury.

Glad the injury isn’t that bad, I don’t actually influence anyone, and jinxes are not real.

Jesus Christ mate, I am a huge fan of yours, but this might be the softest dismissal ever.

Rabbits is right, Rabbitohs fans hate Seibold and wish him ill will. I throw my support behind his feelings toward the turncoat 100%. This game is built on petty grudges like these. I would expect every Tigers fan to be just as sour at Cleary for getting off the bus. The players sure as shit are, so where would the fans be if we didn’t support their feelings?

But leaving the forum because a Rabbitohs fan is angry at Seibold. Don’t pretend for a second that this is about forum politics and not your rank.

See you next year, maybe we can fall in love again x

Fair the Seibold slagging people are getting sick of, I am a part of that. In Rabbits defence, South's were flying and looking almost premiership worthy with Seibold at the helm. Seibold took his focus off the team late in the year to start discussions with the Donkeys. All the chatter came about and the team started falling away and got knocked out in finals.

There is no doubt Seibold was losing the dressing room due to the coaching speculation, that's my take. They looked settled and then all of a sudden Seibold was jumping shit even before the finals when the players thought he was settled. Seibold was greedy and he's fucked himself here. He has gotten karma HOWEVER, even I was cringing at his press conference. It's all gone too far. I think something has to give. Not sure what happens but you now have to feel for all the players mental health, even Seibolds.

The past is the past and I took great pleasure in his downfall I must admit and Rabbit is passionate about his team and I understand his sentiments 100%, but I'll cull the slagging now because as I said what's done is done and I hope they all can pull through.

I actually hope Seibold gets another go and yes injuries aren't helping him but as a people manager myself at work, he can't control that. He just needs to man up, make more changes with what he can and work with the players, get on their level and take a different approach. Stats and numbers don't mean shit if the staff/players don't respect you. He needs to look at himself and make changes and players may respond.

McInnes, Lomax, DCE, Pearce

They reckon on ABC Grandstand that Tim Glasby will be medically retired due to ongoing concussion symptoms

Thanks mate I’ve been copping it all week and I haven’t meant to piss anyone off or anything. Sometimes things I say are picked on very harshly and I’ve had some PM’s from guys on here telling me not to leave and to hang in there and not worry about the dick like behaviour a few are giving me.

I feel bad for the Broncos fans now I really do I wasn’t having a dig at them. Souths fans know what it’s like to get hammered. I was just having a bit of a lol and dig at Seibs which I’ll continue to do.

Heck if Brisbane beat us again when we play them next week and they wanna lol @Bennett saying he’s a has been waste of space etc I won’t have any objections it’s apart of the game.

Anyway all the best to everyone today let’s get the footy on and may there be lots of high scores for us all.

Apologies if any Brisbane fan is furious at me but I feel ya and was not digging at you guys.

This. But as I said I'll tone down the slagging if people are getting offended. Everyone is different I guess. I love slagging between teams myself but I guess some don't.

I don't think you have to explain yourself mate. We'll just tone the Seibold comments down and do it between ourselves.
