I am getting sick and tired of people 'slating' the players that don't happen to be their favourites on here - to the point of abusiveness.

The name calling and personal attacks are quite disturbing - and from some of the posters who should no better.

None of us are so without blame in our lives that we have the authority to publicly berate those who at worst have been punished and deservedly so fot their actions, or at best have just failed to perform to an anticipated level.

It's stupid, childish, petty and potentially damaging to the individuals, their friends and families and the people who own this site.

Can we get back to talking about Rugby League please - cos I'm at running out of time and patience!

Not sure if this is aimed at me, but I am certianly not "slating" Bibey. As I have said many times he is better than what he gets credit for

for one thing, Latu when you are 13 stone running as fast as you can directly at someone 17 stone is not big, or clever, just plain old fashioned dumb.

Toughness is Sam Obst, and Rob Burrow who even with their massive size disadvantage throw themselves infront of the Paleasina's of this World

Whats the difference fool?

If your running a line that you've practised in training... Can't choose who your running into... Taking Feka at full pace is stupid if you don't have two 20 stoners backing you up!

Might look like I'm just wanting an argument but I'm thinking Latu is getting some unfair stick just as Peterson was...

No - not you this time!

Opinions I am happy to exchange - but this forum is not here for people to take cheap shots against anyone - players / past players / coaches or even fellow posters. The rule is - if you would be upset if it was written about you - don't write it!

I do agree, some stuff on here is a bit OTT and I do know that some players read the forum and I guess it will hurt them a little. Let's not forget the Oli Wilkes in France asking after a certain poster........

I agree too, I tend to now avoid the forum for a while after a defeat because the negativity and hostility just depresses me

I have noticed that the board is dull after a win, as if people are gutted that there is nothing to moan about.

As for Bibey, isn't it the case that props are often told to stop and hit the deck so that they can play the ball quickly and get the side on a roll? The off-loaders like Moore and Solomona will want to spend a few more seconds wriggling around, but players like Bibey just needs to make a quick ten, tire the defence by them having to hit him, and then play the ball as quickly as possible. Pumping his legs for a few more seconds just gives the defence time to set itself. Guisset used to throw himself to the floor at the first contact when he was at Wigan, and tactics like that is maybe why they brought in the 'surrender' thing.
