Yes it is just a game. I'd suggest if you (this is directed at anyone not you personally) are overly invested in that way then it is unhealthy.All you saying “it’s just a game”
Is it really “ just a game?”
When people’s livelihood, time, $$$, sacrifices, mental health are all impacted by the results and performance - I would argue it’s more than just a game… a lot is at stake.
Sorry but that’s the reality of professional sports. Wake up and smell the coffee.️

All good mate. It’s a healthy debate. So let’s forget about the fans for a minute. Because I was actually referring to corporates, sponsors, TAB, players who are earning ridiculous $$$, the small folk who are employed in catering, the cleaner the grounds man.. everyone’s livelihood depends on a “game”…
Even as a country. If the Warriorrs perform well the country glows… and those wet dark windy winters don’t feel so bad anymore
CHT isn't even a run first player. He's too slow. He's a defenisve half that that backs up his forwards looking for offloads, hits holes and looks for his faster players to pass to. He pairs well with a dominant half(Sj) Where his role is simplified & basic.
He'd make a handy 13, Has the height & frame to fill out. And good basic all-round skills to assist his halves. Just needs to cross out goal kicker on his resume.

Oh man - making us favourites is the kiss of death to our chances. We do well as underdogs.We are $1.20 favs. Is it worth putting money on the tigers?

There will be a meltdown. The forum always expects the Warriors to beat teams more lowly ranked.

If your team can't win then the next best idea is to take delight in them losing.

Not sure if that's Webby's philosophy, but if it works for you I'm not judging, whatever gets you through the night.

Mate, I never bet with my heart. Last year I lost $10 on nearly every game and was chuffed; this year I'm well up and miserable, but at least I have more beer money.We are $1.20 favs. Is it worth putting money on the tigers?
It would only further confirm that blooding youngsters for the rest of the year is needed.
For what it's worth, I think we will dick them, dick the Eels, in fact we will win more than we lose for the rest of the year.
But, we'll finish 10th

Unfortunately
SJ is getting past it.
Tmm has good moments but far too inconsistent and isn't a good fit with SJ.
CHT has good defense but limited on attack.
All three lack a top tier kicking game.
They all have good qualities but lacking in too many other areas
Our halves are very much off the pace to get us into finals and further.
