Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3086778, member: 9326"] Sure, I can see his point. Honestly I understand that on the surface it looks poor and it makes things hard for yourself when you get flogged the next day because people can use it against you as an excuse. I think a lot of people have already pointed out that if they'd won, we wouldn't be having this conversation, which suggests the actions themselves aren't a problem, it just makes you look bad if you get a bad result. All I'm saying is that we were going to get a bad result eventually because we're honestly just not a good football team and we were going to get found out for not addressing our playing weaknesses eventually. Blaming the pokies just seems like a cop out for the fact our players are nowhere near good enough. Darius Boyd stayed in bed and didn't go for ice cream and he managed something like 4 runs for 30 metres all game. Payne Haas did go for ice cream and he was the only bloke to make over 100 metres for us. Fifita was there playing pokes (some might say he stayed later than any of them) and he had like 6 tackle busts in a side that got flogged 58-0. Where I'm struggling is the idea that we're unique or different because our players were doing stuff like this. Literally every club is made up of players who do exactly the same things for the most part and some of those clubs win and some lose. Right now we're in the losing pile, but it's not like we can go out and get ourselves a squad of players who don't behave that way because they don't really exist in the modern NRL anymore. It's not a matter of accepting that behaviour from the Broncos, it's accepting that behaviour from the entire NRL these days, [/QUOTE]
