I'm like the rest of us, I expect good things from 'my' club, but let's face reality; it's not my club, it's Gareth's and his mates club and they are under no obligation to share with us their proposed playing philosophy or tell us every time they go to the toilet. You don't hear the All Blacks asking for your permission on how they should play the game, they just go out and do it. If we don't like it, then we don't have to turn up and watch [and it seems plenty are taking that option]. Too many experts around here in my opinion and none of you would have run/owned a professional sports organisation so don't have an appreciation of how hey are run or should be run.

How can you use the All Blacks as an example when they don't lose? Winning teams do not face anywhere near the same scrutiny. Who got the column inches in the last 12 months about how their team played: the winning ABs or the losing Wallabies? Did people give the Roar the same scrutiny as the Victory last year? Do the two Manchester clubs get the same amount of microscope as Blackburn did last year? You've picked a team which is totally pointless to your argument.
