I do not remember Elliott Whitehead openly denigrating his club. What I remember is Francis Cummins going to the press and repeating private conversations between him, the player and his agent. It wasn't a couple of months when Elliott Whitehead decided enough was enough - it was [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/22795367OVER A YEAR[/url.

I certainly wouldn't want Cummins at our club just yet.

You know as well as I do there is a context to what he posts on here and that's all I'm prepared to say on that matter. Give the kid a break FFS and leave the back-to-work pontificating to the tories.


I'm sure Gilder can fight his own battles. Those with the morals of an alley cat usually can. He's never been shy at coming forward on here with his own digs at other people's personal expense.


Your alpha male status is safe on here. There, even I've just acknowledged it. Happy now?

Nice to see the bitches are still at it!

For the LIVE OF GOD.... etc.

You got it Jeffers!

Bow you head and back away slowly, avoiding eye contact as I beat my chest.

You're right, not my battle and should have done like those involved and ignored it.

Just annoyed I backed myself into a corner with Gotcha and he wants me to make frikkin chains now. Manual labour. Pah!

I never asked for feedback on this or the other [url=http://viewtopic.php?p=17595454&tsmp=1381160494#p17595454recent thread though[/url. If mentioning something that someone wrote on this forum in the past can be used against people in any thread then where does it stop?

When it comes to b[ii[/itchfighting I'm afraid there's no rules and it's just a case of who can be the most insulting. If material can't be found on here then it can be found elsewhere. I'm sure none of us want to go down that avenue and so let's just try and keep it to banter from now on..

The Tory Conference & Daily Mail headlines had set me on a downward spiral I had not experienced for a good while. Wigan's victory almost finished me off. This thread has shown me life is worth living after all.

You made it part of the domain in the first place, not me. Nor did I bully you on this thread, simply made a mild mannered comment about Finland.

You like the attention, it's why you're so keen to discuss your personal life ad nauseum.

That said, I am more than happy, nay delighted, to see no further posts about your personal life or career efforts.

Funny..


Moderately funny but a poor joke - can do better..


Found this hilarious..




Going a bit too far IMO.


You got the reply you deserved from William. We all know what you're trying to indicate towards..

You are correct regarding this thread but they was no need for the dig on the other. Besides it didn't bother me but if you think I like negative attention then you've got me so wrong.

You're right, it was just over a year into a five year deal.

Nonetheless, he was reported as saying that Bradford weren't progressing, that there was nothing that Cummins or Bradford could have done better but that he just wanted out to play for a top four club.
Not the sort of attitude you want to be hearing about at training or in the dressing room.

Since then, he has said that he and Cummins didn't get on and that his perceived dip in form was due to that.

Here's an olive branch and don't snap it!




Like I said, he can fight his own battles. He enjoys dishing it out so I expect him to be prepared to take it in return. His post went way beyond insulting IMO and got the response it warranted. Actually, on reflection... the response didn't go far enough.


Making chains? WTF? As the thread-starter, I do believe I've provided the fertile base for your impending labour-intensive job misery, even though I could not legitimately be held responsible for the way the thread developed in the way it did. I'd be more than happy to help out by sharing your workload if Gotcha doesn't mind?

We've been exchanging messages, I can say no more than that at this stage. negotiations are in a delicate state and I may have already blotted my copybook with the "boss".

It was the clubs and the coaches responsibility to offer something better to Elliott Whitehead. I'm sure there's plenty of players throughout Super League who want to play for a top four club but can't do for various reasons. I'm sure there's players who don't get on with coaches but they have a professional job to do so personal feelings get put aside. Most players go through a perceived dip in form at some point in their careers whoever the coach is. These reasons were not good enough to drop Elliott till he found a new club.

I'm sure if Cummins allowed Whitehead to play till he signed for another club then he would have given his last games for Bradford his best shot so he could make himself more attractive to a top four club.

Whatever other players would want is irrellevant when it comes down to being a decent pro and not having a sh## attitude.
Whiteheads form prior to his transfer request being made public was enough to warrant him getting dropped then to openly state he didn't want to be there and what we obviously now know not getting on with the coach also warrants him getting dropped.
The bottom paragraph doesn't apply because he'd already being under-performing and asked to leave!

Mate - don't rise to him. Damo has changed his provocative and usually contrary subject matter but his ultimate aim is still the same - to deliberately be controversial. I doubt he even believes half of the stuff he posts but does it to get a rise from the majority. Its a form of trolling, although I'll give him is due, he his far more subtle these days which hints towards a certain level of intelligence not usually found in someone with his employment attitude.

He wouldn't be alone in that!

I think he's sincere on this, maybe he knows Whitehead or something.
I don't agree with his point, but that's what the message board is all about.

I wouldn't discuss it with him if I thought he was just trolling.
But I could be wrong.

An argument based on you reading between the lines along with a 'might' thrown in is a hell of a solid argument.

Kudos.

Aww bless.

It thinks I care what it thinks.

Sweet really.

I'd be surprised if you cared what anyone thinks.

That would obviously include your spouse.

Well, this has all turned a bit nasty hasn't it?

I think we should all settle down, have a slice or three of cake and get some love started.

Platonic love.

To begin with at least.

Shut up.

Hey. Less hate. Come on big guy, let's hug it out.

I'm not just going to be a notch on your bedpost.
