I like how you make arguments based on missed tackles when the numbers for your side are low, but then completely ignore and dismiss them when they're high, indeed the highest number all year for your side. That's very impressive.
It didn't exactly lose it for them because there's no guarantee that Gallen would've scored if Ballin hadn't been taken out. Gallen is a better claimant to losing it for them with that terrible pass which totally killed all the momentum the Sharks had and lead to a Manly try.
Nah I watch games and use stats to back up my opinions. Don't try to compare us. You don't watch games and try to make arguments based on nothing more than statistics. You are the type of person who gives statistics a bad name so afaic you can fuck right off with your moral high ground bullshit.
I had Manly -6.5 into Hawks as my first two legs so I'm fucking spewing. Can't believe they didn't drop a field goal there at the end.
Well it makes it all the more mysterious then doesn't it, when you can actually watch the games and not pick up on the observational evidence not to mention the statistical evidence of something like say, a crack down on hands on the ball by referees. You can try to slander my analytic abilities all you like but it doesn't change the fact that you're completely hypocritical when it comes to the use of statistics with regard to your own team. I seem to recall admitting that I was trolling when I posted that stuff about Reynolds and Easts's defence. You're obviously butthurt about being trolled. There, there.
Oh and good job making this another argument Easts again after chastising me for intruding arguments about them into threads and discussions that have nothing to do with them. And you want to talk about moral high ground when you do the same? You're having a laugh. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.
You admitted to it because I called you out on it. Pretend you trolled all you like, I'm not sure where it gets you, maybe in your own mind you wont realise you've become the type of poster you used to so heavily criticise... And if by slandering your 'analytic abilities' you mean by me giving you shit for not watching the game and purely drawing observations based on statistics then yeh you're a shit cunt every day of the week and I'll never back down from that.
Haha. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Why'd you wait so long? You're the kind of poster you criticise all the time. The hypocritical one who applies one standard when stats support his view and another when they don't. You go to the extent of making idiotic graphs and graphics when the stats are supposedly ambiguous, but then go the rest of the year and don't say a fucking word about it after it becomes evident how wrong you were. No concession of course, all the while telling others how intransigent they are. It's a sight to behold. As opposed to the guy who makes an explicit statement based on his, I assume, extensive viewing of games, and then lies about not having made it at all. That doesn't make you a shit cunt? As if I would ever try to use that hilarious spectacle to impugn your actual opinions on the game. Oh, you're a prank poster therefore......
The funny thing is Toolman, and others I suspect, say I wasn't trolling because they think I did watch the games. You say I wasn't trolling even though I didn't watch them. Fuck that brings a smile to my face every time I think about it.
Haha. I'll be sure to put all posts of yours regarding your own team, as well as referees, on ignore given the sort of shit you've come out with this year. What a pathetic cop out. Would be too logical to just decide not to enter into bickering contests any more for the good of the forum and the other members. Perhaps you can't help yourself. Neither can I but I'll try from here on out not to. I certainly wouldn't put you on ignore because I do think you post some good and insightful stuff. Obviously you don't feel the same way about my posting and are willing to just disregard all of it. Fair enough if that's what suits you. Seems pretty pathetic and childish to me. It's not like I'm the RL equivalent of Fiery. Or maybe you think I am. In which case, that's probably a greater indictment against your judgement than mine. I don't believe you do think that though. I just think you'd rather avoid acknowledging anything of worth that I post as you did with our discussion about Papalii. You put a challenge to me about why I've changed my mind about him playing Test footy. Both EWS and I respond with rather similar arguments about his growth over the last 12 months, but you don't say fair enough to me, the person with whom you initiated the challenge. You acknowledge his post and ignore mine even though, as I say, they're quite similar in tone and content. But even if they were radically different surely an answer to a challenge like that warrants a response. The fact is you ignored mine precisely because it was similar and my position supported by EWS's. Are you no longer giving credence to anything I write because I admitted to not watching certain games? If so, then why did you ask the question in the first place?
Hmmmm...... Soooo, Todd Carney misses out on the chance to prove himself as a big game player (which he is not) At least he gave himself an excuse this time.
