Love this thread - sport psychology to reality show experts!!!!!

It is called Custard Smelling Part Deux what else would it be about?

I don't do linky stuff as it's too technically demanding for me Smiffy but I in short and i will be wrong here but it was a 70's film new family moves into a new neighbourhood and everything is 'perfect' too perfect it's about mind controlling as they try and change the new family to fit in. The change is effected through the woman of the house who are all submissive and compliant and all blondes (in my version any way ha ha)



All in all a GREAT IDEA? only kidding for any ladies out there

Exactly. Thick as you like.

Apologies if my post gave the impression that I'd only consider views valid from anyone that had seen Derek Whitehead kick 2 points worth or prior. If you watched your first game last week and fell in love you'd be no less of a fan, (you'd be crazy), but, basing an argument on one game seen might be open to question and I've no idea when/if that "are but did you see us at Central Park that time when...." counts

Don't need to apologise Unc, I do understand where you are coming from with your post.

I'll agree this season hasnt been good although we've got to a semi and still have a route to the Grand Final but IMO for me questioning his position over this season is bull, last season we was a drop goal away from a third Grand Final in a row after the biggest squad changes in his reign including losing our best player without a replacement until yesterday, nobody expected us to challenge 12 months ago with so many quality players leaving, we've added some good players this season and with more to come next season.



If you cant allow him one bad season I think youve definitely been spoilt since he came.

My irony meter is not doing as well as normal.....you are being ironic I presume?

Sport is about winning or being exciting to watch. If you're neither of those things, changes have to be made until you are.

Sport is about making money nowadays - very lucrative business. In football you pay for a trophy, RL hasn't got to that level yet but I bet it comes one day.



You can not be exciting to watch, not win any trophies but as long as the books balance and the top dogs get paid this is good business. Not to say it could be an even better business with the first two points worked on.

I completely disagree. If sport was about making money, then it'll all be played out in a casino. Few if any sport clubs make money.

I think the biggest beneficiaries from sport these days are online & telephone gambling empires....they must make more money than tv companies & actuals sports clubs. I don't know what percentage bookies are allowed to invest in sport.
