I nominate a new section of the forum to be added, and title it something along the lines of "Rubbish Bin" or similar 'n move this thread to it.
It'd be quite fitting (IMO).

I've said it before that you like to play the victim. It is part of your MO.
I have also said that your posts are repetitive and boring. I stand by everything I have said to you and about you.
I would be happy to change my mind about you if you are prepared to change your "discussion" points from negatively toned posts about dwindling crowd figures and constant comparisons to the suns, or give us something that contributes positively towards this Titans RL forum.
Your call now.

I posted in the origin sub-forum about NSW thinking Hayne was their saviour again and that I thought QLD would teach them a lesson in 9 days. DIEHARD then accused me of being Victorian (which I'm not), accused me of being a Queenslander the wrong way (don't know how that's even possible?) and then told me to cheer on a rep team that hasn't existed for over 15 years and said Pauline Hanson was one of my idols (she's not).
You blokes just line up and wait to take shots at me even when I do try to give you something that contributes. I wanted to talk about the media getting behind Hayne as if he is going to win Origin off his own boot and I get attacked. What am I supposed to do when I don't talk about the suns/crowds and still get told to p### off?
Am I playing the victim? I don't believe so. I honestly tried to talk about S.O.O and got shut down straight away by the administrator of all people. If even the admin tells me to go away when I try to "contribute" then what am I supposed to do? I don't believe I've broken any rules and I don't want to stop posting on here.

Important game for the Suns this weekend when they take on the Bulldogs at home. IF they win then they will enter the top 4 for the first time in their history, regardless of other results. It would also stretch their winning streak to 5.

Excellent win to the Suns. I thought they played pretty average and to do that and win by 45 points is the sign of a good side. I think they are still well below the Hawthorns etc but they are pretty close to a top 4 side and they will get better as the others drop from the peak.

Yeah, 6 points the difference at half time, so they must have really kicked on after that because they were 53 points ahead at 3/4 time. An 8 goal quarter. That's pretty impressive.

Yeah I think they have a very promising side. I am surprised CSF hasn't been on yet but I gather he is still taking pictures. I really am loathe to mention this but the Suns announced a crowd of over 14,000.:rolf:
Metricon must already hold 40,000 so no need to upgrade it.
oke:

Good news! We can talk about the Suns again! Yay!
I don't mind the Suns. They are a GC team, and I am all for having more GC teams.
I just don't like complete tossers BS'ing about them on here.

As I said, he did the club a disservice by turning people away from it. I actually have close friends who work for the Suns, so I wish them luck.

Gold Coast Suns to pay outgoing convert Karmichael Hunt $1 million for one game in 2014
KARMICHAEL Hunt will pocket $1 million in a farewell Gold Coast season that could yield just one game.
The Herald Sun can reveal the Suns have not offered the code-hopper a contract for 2015 and Super Rugby’s Queensland Reds is favourite to win his signature.
The AFL paid around $800,000 a year as part of the mega deal that made Hunt one of the game’s richest players.
But the AFL yesterday labelled the former NRL star’s 44-game Suns stint “extremely successful”.
Hunt, 27, has been considered a good investment by the league and the Suns given the publicity he has generated as an ambassador in the northern battleground states.
But it is set to be the end of Hunt’s AFL journey, which began at a VFL match in Craigieburn on a wintry afternoon in 2010.
The Brisbane Lions last night ruled out reviving Hunt’s AFL career, declaring he had done “an amazing job” promoting football but did not fit their list profile.
His manager, David Riolo, said Hunt had not made a call on which sport to play next year.
“There’s no update until he’s agreed somewhere, that’ll be the update,” Riolo said.
“He hasn’t made a final decision yet and he hasn’t agreed to terms anywhere. He’s also looking at league and union.”
The Brisbane Broncos were believed to be leading the race for Hunt but, despite signing his former coach Wayne Bennett this week, salary cap pressures and sufficient cover for Hunt’s full-back position could thwart their bid.
Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has publicly stated his interest in Hunt, but it is also facing a salary cap squeeze.
It lands the Reds in the box seat for Hunt.
The AFL yesterday defended the controversial code-jumping bonus payments made to Hunt and Israel Folau, who left the Giants for Rugby union after just one AFL season.
“In terms of ambassador roles for players in the future, the AFL will continue to make that decision on a case-by-case basis and we have a range of players in roles for us,” spokesman Patrick Keane said.
Hunt has kept a low media profile this year, has managed just one game and will miss another two weeks with a knee injury.
He famously slotted a goal after the final siren to upset Richmond in Cairns in 2012 but injury has cruelled the powerful midfielder this year.
He has played seven games in the reserves this year around hamstring and knee injuries and a concussion which led to a staph infection.

Hunt's best value for the AFL was in marketing value before he even played a game. As a player he has been a complete flop. Obviously he has picked up huge money but he is an elite athlete that has wasted 4 years of his career.

Went to the Suns today and a great effort from them. But an even better effort from the creative crowd counters. It was easily the smallest crowd I have been in at either a Suns or Titans game and the bloke I was with reckoned somewhere between 4-5000 tops. It is on the AFL website as 8,911. No way. I have been to a few games this year where they have clearly fudged the crowds. If the Swans crowd last week was 12k then no way was today 9k.

That was a fine win by the Suns over the Swans yesterday
Their season has been way more testing than the Titans

The brother in law is a Suns season member as well as a Titan member. He won't be at the Titans game this Saturday as they conflict with each other. He would prefer to be at the Titans but the incentive to go to the Suns game is too much. The deal they have at the moment is for every home game you attend (from the last 3 ) you get $15.00 off next years membership. If you attend all 3 home games they give you another $5.00 off. So an individual member can save $50.00. He has 3 memberships so he will save $150.00. Not a bad incentive.

I’m a member of both clubs. It sucks when there’s a clash. It’s basically a loss of $50 per seat when it happens.
I’ve challenged both clubs on trying to not have clashes but they say the amount of freaks out there like Shamus Brother In Law and I is negligible and has a tiny affect on the attendance.
