1. Why would any fan rip into their own club this way? This only adds to the mounting evidence that you are actually a bucktoothed Souffs fan
2. You name four premiership winning players
3. Ten of the players you named played for their country
4. A number of the players you picked are out of the position they played most for us; Perrett, Hickey, and Perry.
1. Have you only discovered the Kennel yesterday? 91% of threads are the fans ripping into the team. There's not one player or manager who hasn't been criticised. Just this week I have even seen Jackson, Holland and Reimis criticised heavily.
1.5 I have never hidden I am also a Souths fan. The reason why you mentioned Souths is because I told you all. I like them equally in different ways. I follow Souths in terms of winning, grand final aspirations etc and their heritage and everything else I like the Dogs. More in an empathetic fashion. Two different clubs with two different attractions.
If it makes you feel better, if dogs played Souths in a grand final this year I would support dogs because 2014 was Souths turn and we are due.
2. just because a player won a premiership doesn't mean they are good? Every team, due to salary cap, has a certain combination of marquee players, mid tier players and salary cap fillers. Some teams reduce the mid tier and go harder on the marquee element (risky because of injury) and increase salary fodder at mid tier expense. Others, like Gus Gould Panthers era, like to load up on mid tier. me every club plays it different. Dogs tend to go heavy on the mid and fodder without the marquee element and that's why we lose.
Point is, premierships mean nothing in terms of player talent. Unless you're the marquee, which none of the players in this thread are.
3. Playing for Samoa and countries like this is equal to playing reserve grade. Especially in the nineties and 00s. The wests winger Donovan played for Russia when they were belted by 100. Is he good?
4. Perret played most of his games at Fullback for us. At least half. And I never said you had to pick for position. You pick to win. Perry has good leg drive and isn't as bad as Lichaa so I have moved him to the second row. Hickey was floating between lock, prop and second row.
