This type of comment is the very reason you seem to attract such hate on these forums. Not a single person on this forum predicted a result even close to what occurred, and so by your standards, no-one on here is qualified to comment on the game. I was not in attendance, nor have I seen any in depth reports as of yet. I am not aware of what happened, how the game played out, whether there was improvement through from last week. I have nothing as of yet with which I can respond to this. But there is one thing I will say. I will bet any amount of money that when those boys came off the field, they were full of emotion. I am certain that they would have felt nothing but anguish and heartbreak after such a result. What they have had to overcome through the course of this season, the transitions and changes they have had to put up with through their school lives in rugby, are something that I doubt few of us, as grown, working men, with families and mouths to feed, have ever faced or likely will ever have to face. You show not an ounce of respect to these boys. They represent you, your son, and their entire community. They train their asses of week in, week out. If they had not committed through this season like they have, these results, I guarantee you, would have been 50 points higher, week in, week out. And yet you sit there, behind your keyboard, feeling sorry for yourself, feeling the need to express your thoughts so maliciously towards a group of developing young men, men who have to balance a world of expectations in so many regards. Do the other GPS boys have to face up to the rigours of one of Australia's most intensive, expectation filled educations? No. Are they supposed to be this society's future politicians, doctors, lawyers and entrepreneurs? No. They share a common love of their school, and indeed a sport, with the boys they face every weekend.
Never have I taken a personal attack towards you, publicly humiliated you, or even attempted to engage in despicable and unnecessary tarnishing on these forums. I made a prediction. I was wrong. I thought that things may change, and I expect they will. When that is, I cannot say. People are not always right through their whole lives. No one is perfect, and yet you seem to judge an entire community, one which you surely must have once been so proud of, based on their lack of success in but a mere sliver of their dynamic, of their culture and their ethos. I will not stoop to the mud-singing you appear to have descended to during the past week. I hope you may reconsider your above comments, and treat my input on this forum with the respect that I offer yours. I may disagree with what you say, but that does not give anyone a right to tarnish and attack you. I will be at Weigal next weekend, and I will be cheering our boys as they deserve to be. And I hope you will be too.
