Official Adam Elliott and Bulldogs part ways

[TwinTurbo]

Are you sure you don’t mean Richie McCaw?

Oh, he was worse, much worse, in the grub stakes, but it was a team effort.

Why does it take this long to make a decision ffs? Might be a good hint as to why we are a basket case at the moment.

I dont think it matters what he said their mind would of been made up before the meeting surely....

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Who cares what Chris Hansen thinks

 

[wendog33]

Ok well that appears to be settled....All Blacks can't be held up as examples of virtues of morality either.

Yes and whatever plan to either keep him, or move him on, already in play.

 

[chisdog]

That would be at least 26 idiots actually, The silent majority wants him to stay. This forum is just a yarn for extremists.

Shh, we will be put on a terrorist watch list if we are not careful.

Got to love Gus....We have had Blogging with Grimace, story time with the Andersons, then stone cold silence....but with Gus and his twitter interactions we as Doggies fans have never had it better. Since Gus joined us he has been approachable and has kept us informed, his interaction with our fan base has been admirable to say the least. Sometimes he does throw a curve ball but that's in the nature of the game and club.

Yep, I remember blogging with Grimmace. She said we shouldn't get ANY Fijians because they ALL get homesick.

I think Elliott would have killed it as an All Black, tbh. Once in a generation talent.

Do you actually watch him play?
Normally when you really like a player you watch them like a hawk.
You either don't watch him play or you are not very observant!

 

[chisdog]

yeah what happened to that pest?
He get signed to play in the super league & get too busy??

He's probably on the myxomatosis forum instead.

Edit: Just checked my ignore list, he is banned.

Yes I watch him play .....IO think it's you guys who tune out all the good things he does.....some people have selective hearing, you all have selective watching. That spiral cut out he threw against the warriors in round 2 last year still sends chills down my spine. Phenomenal talent who has sadly been underdeveloped my a terribly run and coached club since his debut in 2016.

Yep he would have been an immortal kicking tee bringer onner.

It's called Confirmation Bias, "the tendency to search for, interpret, favor and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated entirely, but it can be managed, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills."

Of course it works both ways, negatively and positively.

Today's word of the day is either vendetta or injustice......it's still up in the air. I will confirm my final decision by 2pm. My words are true. Adam has a better spiral cutout than any of our current halves.

 

[chisdog]

OMG, you need to watch some of his games without your all black glasses on. This is not a rugby forum so I will eave it at this, Carter was the master of not get back onto his feet after making tackle, he frequently would not detach from the tackled player, he flopped on the attacking payer many times per game, avoided making any attempt to roll away unless forced and kept his hands on the ball for long periods after the tackle was completed. Sure he got penalised for this shit, albeit not as often as he should have, but giving away the odd penalty was the price for making time for the defence to get reset. This was, and still is, a much hated All Black tactic similar to the "Melbourne wrestle" in its effect.

Always a Bulldog

So he was a bit like the Roosters & Hindy rolled into 1?

 

[Flanagun]

Yep he would have been an immortal kicking tee bringer onner.

He wouldn't even need to bring it on. He could just throw a spiral cut out from the sideline.

I hope you are not implying my thinking is inhibited by confirmation bias, because I am clinical and objective in my thinking at all times.

 

[Jai81]

Yes it does.....this forum has always been a hive of negativity.

Says the guy who bags the shite out of Shoupe every week...

 

[Nano]

Has this nude, drunken and sex crazed fool been removed from our club yet or not lol?

I haven't even mentioned Schoupp since another user tagged me in a comment during Sunday's game, so to suggest I bag him every day and with the intensity some on here bag Elliott is disingenuous.

My criticism of Schoupp is always constructive, btw.... learn to tackle/ read the play, get a decent haircut, don't break COVID bubbles after getting an opportunity - all points he could learn from if he were to take them on board.

Nope, I'm still here.
