You, and everyone else, are entitled to their views. Everyone can be critical of a player, and being harsh to a player in the heat of the moment is one thing. You state your views, restate your views, and then restate them again, all in language that could at best be taken as being on the harsh side, and at worst could be taken as offensive. It has become a refrain, and is now in breach of rule 1.

You've been warned.


Bit harsh, when did the clan forum turn into the trump administration?


When we started taking money from Putin.

But no, just to re-iterate there's obviously no problem with criticism, even repeated criticism, of a player. The problem is when things move to offensive, or when they are said with the intention to flame.

Are people getting warned for voicing their opinions about players being capable or not now. That attitude will kill a forum if reasonable views on players abilities can't be expressed. There is nothing offensive in my opinion in what dobby said and many of his points are valid

You are right. I repeat myself to the point of boredom. I accept your warning. I will refrain in future. My apologies.

Now that Jack hasn't been place kicking for a while you must find it impossible to tell whether he's playing well or not.

I'd have been delighted to see him come our way last year, but if Boshoff can stay fit and Jack keeps progressing, we don't really need him and definitely can't afford him.

Didn't realise he'd taken the big bucks but if you need a tag team partner for that battle I'll give it a go :-)

Well nanai Williams and Bundee went to school together so he could put in a good word :)

I went to wiki before posting to check that and came across a shocking fact: Tim Nanai Williams and Cardiff blues no 8 nick Williams are brothers.......I can't think of too many Rugby players with such different styles!!
