Oh good, Russell isn’t playing so the usual suspects clap themselves on their backs as though Price was in some way influenced by them, deluded doesn’t even come close.

Here we go again. I'll explain so you can understand.

Nobody is saying that Price was influenced by the forum posts. Just that the forum posters view has been vindicated as clearly Price feels the same way.

So now do you understand that nobody, to my knowledge, has attempted to draw a causal link between the two events.

Who are the usual suspects by the way? Those who see things coming rather than have to wait for them to unfold?

Good on Price for dropping him.

Let me make this clear. You start with an assumption that it isn’t due to injury. Then leap to that being a vindication. Then you laud Price for dropping him when your starting point was you don’t know if he was dropped due to injury.
So to answer your question you are definitely one of the usual suspects, but you knew that.
(Just to make it even clearer your use of the word “vindication” was the back clapping I was referring to).
Karetakers reference to continuing to bleat until change takes place (I’m paraphrasing) was the deluded part. (Obviously suspect 2).
If anyone else wants clarification as to whether or not they fall into usual suspect category feel free to ask.
Ps if you can find a post where I suggest that Russell is a good winger, fill your boots.

So just so I understand, you want me to make an opinion just once regarding any player I don’t think is good enough to be in the team so I’m not classed as bleating?

Back clapping that’s interesting do you really think I get off on someone’s demise if it’s that what it is. I have an opinion you have an opinion everyone as opinions and people will sometimes disagree, so what’s your beef with what me or anyone else post and how often, as I said it’s my opinion.

I think over my time here I’ve called out many players even the team as a whole when they have been very poor, it’s not my intention to go out and single anyone person but for me it’s very obvious he as been poor for a long time, I guess that’s were your bleating comes in. Guess you miss that I’ve mentioned Westwood a few times.

Well I’m not going to change my ways because it upsets some people,I’m entitled to my say, there is always the ignore button if it bothers you.

Steady on chaps.
Ratty Muscle looks to have been dropped. He only has himself to answer for that and we cannot pass fault on anyone else.
I may be guilty myself of saying he won't get good service but to fumble such an easy take was shameful.
However in some defence of him, my opinion, he hasn't been responsible for a loss.

we've not influenced anything. Price has just proved us to be right all along, that RUSSELL ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. why on earth would us 'usual suspects' think that we had any influence on this? Get over yourself, Price has seen 3 games and realized what normal people realised 4 years ago.

Utter rubbish. Not sure anybody said he had had a good game; only that the good things he did were completely ignored.

You can drop a player or change a team around without castigating and exiling the dropped player. I think Brown will do some things better than Russell, like being more solid in the tackle and less likely to be outjumped by his opposite number. But he will also make fewer metres and be less of a threat running at the line. The coach has decided that he wants to see what Brown can do and that is completely fair enough.
