Chicka,
Just on arrogance I got a report through the week that the Sharks brains trust had a couple of their star imported and current selected Qld players practicing their goal kicking at half time last Saturday at MT Gravatt, I know what I would have told the coach, but then again being paid big bucks will compell you to do almost anything (what a joke), if the report was right, these players in question were both on AFL lists not long ago.
Not sure wat your getting at, wether its having a go at southport or not, but the one in question was 1 goal 5 up until half time and went on to kick 7 goals 5. Ignoring the fact that he chose to do the practice, id say it was a pretty good idea.
Drama 5
Practise, does this not happen at training and as part of the warm up. Did they choose too or were they told too as part of their employment, I thought that the half time break was just that, most players are knackered by half time, that is if they are giving it 100% they then use this break to have rest, the Sharks coaching staff might as well not get these boys to training through the week, just work on the points letting them down at the breaks on game days, If the above is true as I got the mail second hand sounds like it is, then in my opinion this is where the arrogance comes from and it shows a lack of respect to their opponents and the game, was I having a go at the Sharks - thats for you to work out, players that have been on AFL lists as recently as last year that have to practice goal kicking through the breaks at this level come on, I dont think I have heard about this happening in the past with players of this elk comming back to a State League level but maybe I am wrong and it has, I guess for mine, it just gets down to what % of the salary cap they are getting as most coaches would put the poor kicking to half time down to a bad day in the office.
