Not that I think it's terribly important but I have been wondering for weeks now what this silly "BORKED" thing is. Or is it not worth my while?

I'm pretty sure it means the video didn't upload properly. I know when you post a vid with your signature shown it sometimes plays up with the upload.

Hello bitches!

Two things before I go off into the wild blue yonder doin my thang;

1. Pom is doing ok. Not great, but way better than the three years Snow is on about. Could be worse, we could have that nuffy from Raiders that can't tackle at all.
2. I love my little private Facebook page and the fact there is no one there to over moderate or use big words to confuse those who they deem to apparently be illiterate. Of course we are not all as smart clever and worldly as others, so we must be plebs.

Farewell team Pom I'm off to deal with the real world.

The way i see there are two schools of sharks supporters on the Pomeroy situation. Those who have played the game for quite a few years and into their adult life, and then those who haven't. The Pomeroy haters tend to be people who have had to make quite a few tackles over the years, ie they know what they are talking about. If you haven't played the game and don't like the bloke i tip my hat to you sir.

We should back him to the hill don't get me wrong, i agree wholeheartedly with that school of thought. By i gasp every time the ball goes near him, with that big breath it's often followed by a big groan. I can't help it, i have looked at all his stats that Pom lovers bang on about.

Stats were all NSW and we didn't win that match 2 weeks ago.

Just look at every replay this year and see where the tries come from.

The Pomwagon will go strong until these errors he's continuously making lose us a game. Then the hate will return.

I got kicked out of those 'Facebook groups' for speaking my mind too much.

YOLO.

That's an odd conclusion.

Interesting logic but I see it a bit more simpler. Those of us who have played the game should be able to see Pom for what he is. A big strong hard running damaging player who is pretty solid defensively. Thats about it.

He doesnt have much natural skill and football nous. He is never going to be a polished creative skillful centre. Its just not in his make up. As such he is going to drop the ball occasionally, he is going to make blunders. Accept that and ask yourself do the benefits outweigh the negatives. Aside from the rep centres I wouldnt swap him for anyone. Opposition centres dont like playing him.

I love the Pom and I think he has been in good form this year and his hands have improved a lot since he had the finger operation.
Just give him the ball in a bit of space and let him run.

Meh, he is only human and I know he puts in his best every week and he wants to be there. Where else do you get that ? Yes a few drop balls. Would you prefer someone who doesn't put in every week on big money and doesn't want to be there..

Matty we are not a charity. You dont keep players just for putting in and giving their best and wanting to be there. Hell, give me a jersey and Ill tick those three boxes.
Whilst those things are important, primarily its about having players that are gonna help you win footy games. And I think the Pom does that.
