For someone who has never watched him play, he doesn’t sound very inspiring.

I get that he’s a rugby legend but I’m not sure how far that gets him.


I think that there are various ways to inspire. No all are suited to being a main coach, or delivering orations.

Some are very suited to just working in small teams because they really know their stuff and Slater may well be that.

One of my BILs played forty odd games as a Socceroo. He is great in small group, skills, assisting etc. But not as a head coach as it is just not his thing.

Billy knows what it take to excel and if he can communicate this in small or groups, or one or one, then he will be a great acquisition. Though it could go the other way too and just being window dressing ;)
Don't think that the Storm would employ him in a similar role if he was just window dressing.

It is not Billy, but rather how the Saints use him.

Not sure why he persists.
Rupert, my great friend! Wonderful to hear from you! I see you're still jealous of me because I've had more wives than you. :mrgreen:

Mr Theodore Roosevelt Logan, my great and trusted friend, and fellow swamp drainer. Do you know him, Rupert? Mr Logan. He hears whispers! Whispers? More and better whispers than the CIA! :shock: That's amazing. Isn't it?

Well, Mr Logan, he heard a most very reliable whisper. Right there on your own Rodger Fox News Network. Can you believe that??? And this great and reliable whisper. It was...............trust tony1975! Believe me. So unlike climate change, or anything Stormy Daniels says, I will trust this tony1975. #makingtony1975grateagaineveninju-nuh

The whole Trump shtick just isn't funny.

It's like Gerry Connolly impersonating the queen. It was funny once upon a time, but is way, way past it's used by date.

Some people have no sense of humour.

....It doesn't always have to be funny.

Sometimes it just breaks up the monotony of putting up with anonymous people squabbling and the tit-for-tat argumentative posts so I say let the rest of us just appreciate the creativity and let The Real Numpty do his thing

Sure, but Trump impersonating?

It's been done to death. There's not a single thing left to observe or poke s*** at when it comes to Trump.

It's not creative at all.

Even kids at primary school have canned the 'I'll make class 5B great again!' line from their class captain speeches, cause they know it's not funny or witty any more.

You are allowed to voice your opinion.

Just don't shove it down our throats and tell us what is or isn't creative. Put the poster on ignore if you don't want to read anyone poking s*** at Trump

The issue isn't poking s*** at Trump, the issue is that it's just not funny.

It's like when Uncle Joey was still doing Popeye impersonations on Fuller House! Mate, that s*** was funny two decades ago!

When Kath and Kim are on TV I’ve decided there’s no point in shouting at the TV “You’re not funny”

Just put Numpty on ignore.

You don't have to shout it. But you can think it.

And if you're on a platform that is solely designed for people to anonymously express their views on things (ie. an internet forum) - you could, and probably should share it.

So just ignore it and let those that find it entertaining enjoy.
