 I get you now.  

Replied to your post on the last thread and thought it was a reference to me not catching up with your BFF Mat T at Origin last year because I took a date to the game Not that Mat gave a shit, but thought he might have given you some ammo!

so we can count you in for the Sydney meetup?

Ando wrote:At what point is it regarded as bullying Matt? His contribution to the forum is class and I rate how he sticks to his principles but surely others are allowed to disagree / counter argue?

He's obviously very vocal about his fantasy ideas which is why he probably cops the backlash when things don't work out.

Everyone else I talk shit to is because I’ve met them and they are just great blokes who I know won’t take offence. Shoutout to the Sydney meetup, it’s a lot of fun with a bunch of weirdos from all walks of life who spend their time enjoying the same things that you do!

I usually don’t like bringing in a winger into my fantasy WFB’s at a solid price but maybe I should break that rule If I get AJ for him to score well I have to rely on tries coming over the next 8 weeks or so. (Our run does ease up a lot)……

Was going to say nothing and stay on the fence but will speak on this

I see it this way, 'most here' want everyone who posts here to do good.
When your player or team goes well you celebrate it or with others, it's a positive mindset thing.
This is a hobby so you look for the positives and it makes you feel good, sharing in something we enjoy
I don't how you could wish anything else
I mean at a meetup how could you share a beer with someone while secretly wishing their team fails simply to make you feel better.


A few would prefer to look for negatives, remind people after the fact and kick people when they are down
I don't know how you could watch a game hoping XYZ player gets injured or misses that tackle or drops the ball
All for the the chance it helps your own team.....
It is probably a coping mechanism to help justify their own decision but why should it be at the expense of others?
Opinions are spoken as facts, hypotheticals are made up to suit only them and I wouldn't be suprised if people get sucked in sometimes with hail mary decisions.

It's never as simple as XYZ player being good, it has to be this other (Popular forum player) is bad or my player is better than yours
This sets the mood of the entire forum and it's bullshit
Someone replies, then someone calls it bullying/racist, names get thrown... Rinse, repeat

It's fucken tiring to be honest

TLDR: There is one common denominator here and it drives people away from here

Tonight was textbook for me, Granville had a last 3 average of around 35 points from around 60 minutes, and was an easily arguable and pretty popular in around here from what i saw, but then a select few want to turn around and frame it as a trade-in only an idiot would make with the benifit of hindsight for no other reason than to be complete pricks because matt picked him, I’ve noticed a few more popular posters here posting about their Granville-affected score without sharing the same fate.

Holmes got 17, I played Granville for his 25... to be honest for me Granville tonight is only 10 points off being very content with it. Brought him in last week. This wasn't a 600k purchase, perspective u pinheads.

Not confirmed, but maybe 3 to 4 weeks out for Uele, and Nikora not so bad. But tomorrow will reveal more i guess.
