Sorry for the new thread but hey everyone else is doing it
Just had to vent my disappointment in the club, I was hoping they would stick to their guns and not release Barba unless we had another top line player or a very very good deal with the Broncos, unfortunately neither of these two things have happened, we have bent over and taken it with a smile!
Why is it that our club that we live and breathe and spend our hard earned supporting comes down harder on its supporters than it does on its players? every time there is a whisper, rumour or media beat up to sell papers about our supports behaviour our club is straight in the media promising tough crack downs and tighter security.....you go to a game these days you cant show any emotion for fear of a security guard coming up to you, you cant enjoy the game like we once could because of the colours we wear, its a 3 1/2 hour drive for me to get to the dogs game and I wish I could enjoy it
We the supporters went through the Coffs scandal with the club, we the supporters copped the abuse from complete strangers while out with our kids if we had anything dogs on but we stuck by them, we went through it with the salary cap scandal as well and again we stuck by them
We stuck by them when crowd favourites have walked out the door SBW hopped on a plain in the dead of night we were getting hammered weekly that year as well and will stuck tight, Mason jumped ship to the roosters throw those afro wigs out guys! then there was also this skinny little kid we'd watch come up and eventually crack the first grade squad, a future champion we'd been told! no sooner had we won the premiership and he was off out the door to become a cowboys, QLD & Australian great, then we signed a top line prop that looked a little like a polar bear that we grew to love........then no sooner had he turned up then he was released to the broncos for 1500 seats (not bad for an origin & Australian prop!)
Along came Benny Barba tearing up the under 20's Toyota cup, we drooled and what might happen when he got a shot....but when he did he came and went in the blink of an eye, the Dally M winner, the Face of the game, the total basis of our attack, this kid that carried our hopes and dreams of seeing the dogs doing that victory lap, he turned up on Sterlo's show and smirked and laughed then kick dirt in our face
And what did our much loved club do to this kid that showed no respect for this club we love and our way of life?..........they patted him on the back and said now benny of to the broncos you can go, then they turned and limped off with a giant ice pack firmly held on their arse crack!!
