Thanks Gerks, I am sure you are too......Um completely wrong actually I am no where near my motorbike, I am in Africa helping to develop the local people so that one day they can run their own country free of corruption and famine....so you were close....NOT.

Perhaps you should actually understand the intent of my thread, nothing to do with me, its about playing finals next year, I believe we should be, we ware in a position to as we were last year, we need to make it some time and next year we should, with no excuses.

Its funny how the greats of the game like the Careys etc... come out saying how mentally weak we are, I can accept that, can you.

Toughen up Tigers and play finals the excuses need to end one day.

I always picture you sitting on a motorcycle, it's how i like to imagine you.

Couldn't you help the africans whilst sitting on a motorcycle? For them as much as for me.  :pray

nah WAT, in all fairness to gerks, he was having a play at his old sparring partner 1965, was a quality post  :clapping

Haha. I guess you saying 'no more excuses' makes you a winner does it?  :lol    :clapping

You do  realise this whole thread is completely and utterly useless dont you? You saying you are expecting finals next year will make absolutely no difference to our performance and provides absolutely no analysis or insight for others to use.

Basically you are conducting yourself as if you have proposed something revolutionary, but you are just rehashing some tired old poo that Jackstar has been dribbling all year.

How about actually posting something interesting or constructive, instead of 50 'Edwards is poo' and 30 'no more excuses' posts every day?
How about you tell us all about the last Richmond game you attended back in 92?    :lol

No more excuses means what it means, read it anyway you want but thats it IMO.

No I dont agree, I am saying that if we don't make the finals next year there should be no excuses, thought that was pretty clear cut....

Why is it that after the crap games we played last year and over the year the coaches and players come out saying we have no excuses we just did not perform on the big stage......or do you have a selective memory.

How about you don't comment on this thread if you don't like it.....I am posting the excuses posts and Edwards posts as much as the McGuane and Gus and many other posts...

No it was actually when we beat the Eagles by 77 points at Subi/Patterson Stadium........when we knew how to win.... Remember big things were predicted for us for the following year but then the excuses started again and haven't stopped.

i can just see it now. we get hit with something along the lines of what man u did in '58 and we'd still have the same old sad sacks screaming no excuses.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Not sure what happened there al, but you won't hear me saying no more excuses when we stop using them for poor performance.

google "manchester united 1958" WAT.

most sane people would accept that as an excuse for not making the finals.

what about you?

I am not really interested in how Man United went in 1958, geezus man, lets use another million teams as examples....

I am interested in the RFC making the finals in 2012 without making excuses every time we lose games we should win. Games that would, should and will get us into finals next year.

Its simple, have the mental strength to with the games we should and we will get there. I can see it. Finals in 2012!!!

so you are categorically saying that what happened to them would not be a valid reason for missing the finals?

No, I said I don't care what happend to them or any other team. We are talking about the RFC making the finals in 2012 with no excuses, not any other team.
