NEWS Matt Gillett Retires

[I bleed Maroon]

Yep, I had a feeling this was coming.

Great servant to the club, and this is a horrible way to end his career. He got more of a chance than Yow Yeh at least, played for his state and country, was apart of QLD's dynasty, came within a Hunt brain explosion of a premiership, and now is forced into retirement with a fucked neck and shoulder.

Cheers for being so selfless, Matt. We desperately needed it. Croft will be announced Monday morning, I'd wager.

I'm not sure why this has struck such a nerve with you, I didn't mention you at all and nor did I imply that your reasoning is incorrect, just that if people are going to have the discussion it is better suited elsewhere - cause you know, it'll end up in a shitfight and the whole point of the thread will be derailed like any other thread here.

What a load of shit. You didn’t just suggest the discussion be moved. You specifically accused us of climbing all over each other to downplay a legend and of acting in poor taste and that’s a moronic summary of what was said. You also suggested that the only reason was recency bias and that’s just insulting.

Okay mate, you can continue to infer whatever you like from what I wrote, and I'll just stick to the words I wrote (and the acknowledgement of others, evidently they haven't digested it as a personal attack either).

Is English your first language? How do you not get what I have “inferred” from a direct reading of your post. You state clearly that we were in poor taste, climbing all over each other to downplay a legend and that’s just bullshit. It wasn’t happening at all. And you said we were doing it because of recency bias which clearly means not only is our opinion not valid but you know why we are wrong. So you deserve a **** you. Tell me what in your post I have misquoted here.

I really think you should stop climbing over people due to your recency bias.

And I think you should stop being smarmy and cherry picking one thing out of a post and saying that’s all you said when there was actually quite a bit more.

Have you had some head trauma recently? Let it go mate, only one person has taken offense and everyone's moved on - I will be too, but you are more than welcome to the final word. Be sure to include recency bias though.

Shut the **** up, the pair of you. Dead fucking set.

 

[Harry Sack]

Thanks for the memories Matt. I'll never forget the game against Souths where they made an intercept on their try line and ran 90 odd to score. On the next set (?) you did the exact same thing to them, with that rolling just odd as **** running style.

Simmer down boys, no need to get personal.

Tensions are just a little high because Gillett retired but someone else won't.

Folk are a little surly, that's for sure.

aaah yes, let's give Cummins a GF. What could possibly go wrong?

Cummins has been hopeless for a very long time. Players cop a lot for playing on too long but wow, Cummins has to go.

What a wordsmith

The fact that he continued to referee first grade beyond this day tells you all you need to know about the referees and this comp.
