Partly inspired by Ava tagging me while replying to some usual fy shitpost, this time about how being old makes his RL opinion more credible, I've decided to make this thread so we can all share the shit our dads say/their opinions on the game. I've got a few, I'll start with the worst/funniest imo which I've said before: 1) Scoring a try but leaving a difficult conversion It could be a try that puts us in front by 8 with 2 minutes to go. It could be a try on the edge of a backline movement where it's a fingertip put down just avoiding the corner post. It could be a 105m try of the year candidate with 10 passes in between starting from within our own in goal, but if it ends up with a conversion attempt being more than 10m wide of the sticks, whoever scores the try is "a fucking idiot, they need to score closer to the posts to get the two points". Tragically my dad has no faith in the kickers at the Tigers. Even having Pat Richards for a couple of years, one of the best boots in the league, couldn't inspire enough confidence in my dad to be relieved in the fact we've scored and not have to worry about the impending conversion. Admittedly we've had some terrible kickers before and now after, including but not limited to Rankin, Moses, Marshall, Lawrence, Anasta, Farah, Moltzen, Johnny "Bomber" Morris and even a Keith Galloway toepoke which probably falconed an unsuspecting security guard sitting in the corner of the stadium. This is no excuse for his insane expectation that every try be close to the sticks. Nofoaluma's amazing leaping grab 2 years ago against Manly where he just managed to put in the field of play? Should've been a grubber near the sticks for the fullback to run through and score instead. Tedesco's run away try to put up 8 points up against the Warriors in round 1 and ice the game? We need the 2 points for F/A. What a joke.

This was said by my grandmother but I'll include it here. In reference to Martin Ofiah playing for the poms: "Oh, it's nice of them to let the little darkie play."
