Can you please treat other people's posts and opinions with respect? I'm sure you'll find you'll get it back if you do so. We are all just fans here with an opinion, nobody is right or wrong or deserves to be mocked.

I didn’t know people were so sensitive on here mate. Are we all not grown ups here?

What would you like me to respond with when I see a laughable comment?

I don’t really care if people have a go at me for any opinions or comments I make. Isn’t that what a forum is about?? He is entitled to his opinion like I am.

Similar role to what the likes of Paps and Hynes have played off the bench in Melbourne? I'm not sure their coach was deadset hopeless.

I feel it’s a wasted bench spot. Why can’t he give Riley Jones a go? What’s the bloke gotta do to get a game??
 
Good for Sharpe but I think it's a bit strange on two fronts:

1. Not sure who's looking at Brailey lately and going "oh yeah I'd love to see 80 minutes of that"
2. If Brailey does happen go down within 5 minutes - we pretty much lose immediately by being forced in 75 minutes of Elliott at 9 (caveat to this is maybe Sharpe to halves with Hastings to 9 I guess but that's a big call). If Ponga goes down within 5 I don't think we're in the same immediate loss position with Gags shifting to the back and Lucas covering centre.

KP better be ready to go.

I'm with James, I think it paints a picture of arrogance and that you seem to think you know better. It's not about being "sensitive" it's about being decent and being able to respect that just because it's not your opinion it doesn't make it wrong. I don't think the comment in question is laughable either, a star player returning after a long layoff with injury would be best treated with care. But on the flip side if the club is confident enough to start him then we should back that.

I’m not arrogant at all. I don’t think I am right all the time. Am I not allowed to have an opinion?? I thought the comment was laughable, so i wrote that.

Henry is one of the 3 or 4 accounts that have popped up solely to be sensitive about Armstrong and try to talk down the players he's competing with. Has nothing to do with Jones (little chance he's watched him recently/at all), just doesn't want Sharpe in the team.

Should all be gone in a few months.

What are you talking about mate? Nobody mentioned Armstrong. You are the one talking about him. I do watch cup games, I think Jones is a gun and should be playing more NRL.

JRep told you why, he isnt playing well enough in cup in the eyes of those who matter. Aob has made it quite clear he doesnt just hand out first grade jerseys

The same bloke who said Will Pryce wasn’t ready. Even though the great Andrew John’s was calling to unleash him. Why would I listen to anything AOB says. I can’t take the bloke serious.

Pryce had a good game against the team coming last, I wouldn't blow my load yet over him.

As much as I love Joey, he does dribble alot of crap at times..... I mean he did say cogger was going to be awesome for us and straighten our attack.
 
Everyone is entitled to their opinion on the team selection, me included. I believe there is a better 14 in Riley Jones who has been playing really good footy in cup.

I’m not blowing my load over Pryce. I was making the point that AOB said he wasn’t ready or good enough. The same crap he’s dribbling about RJ. Just put the kid in there and give him a go, he deserves it.
 
I really hope he's not just coming back from injury early to get into the Origin team...

But he wasn't ready the first time he was asked about him.....I think his hand was forced because cogger was so bad.

Jones has been pretty poor in reserves so I would t go throwing him in especially when we are fighting to make the 8.

For me having Sharpe on the bench can work against a tiring forward pack, he can also slot in the halves or fullback if any go down during the game.
