It is an insult, but a backhanded one so not too offensive...We really do need to address the perpertrators of this action, and let them know what we think of it...Sort of expected in AFL matches, not Rugby matches, we are much more cultured than that...1000 posts for me, wooo hooo...
Proudly bought to you by a brewery somewhere....
Well you made your 1000th a goodun so well done.
Yeah I'm sorry for my comment but I wanted to get across how uncivilised it really is. The worst I've heard from Tahs fans is booing the choice to go for 3 points instead of a 4th try in the 2005 season finale. A try would have given us home field advantage in the grand final. I didn't agree with the booing but I understand it. But booing a player is very much frowned upon.
As I was saying a page ago, voicing your opinions about someone is pretty much expected, but you have to support your team during the game.
Henjak did all right. His passing game is still error prone, but he wasn't alone there -- quite a few passes went astray. The emphasis was clearly on quick and creative play and it worked most of the time. Henjak looked good with the ball in hand though and with a bit more confidence there could be a real asset.
He was much improved in last year's post-season games and in fact I gave him man of the match against Toshiba. If the supporters get off his back with this ridiculous cheering when he is subbed, he has every opportunity of showing that class is permanent and form is temporary.
well said.^
Ok Roger, I shall now reveal more:Originally Posted by Roger Gould
Clearly your User ID is a pseudonym, and I can reveal my "mate" is similar in nature - although his is not a pseudonym but rather a Nick Name....
I crack myself up sometimes
Anyway, I was there, I was with a mate, his name may or may not be Nick.
Back to the whole Henjak thing but.
Surely he came here to be the starting scrum half and put his name up in front of the Wallabies selectors as The Next Big Thing? I put it to you that he didn't take his ample opportunities last year. He apparently did so in APC games and yes, I saw a couple of the Force Gold v Japanese and he went quite well.
BUT shouldn't he be a start behind the Force pack in S14?
I assume he will be used similarly to George; play for 60 or so and then let the reserve come on, depending on the state of the game. If so then he should (a) play his heart out so he is knackered when replaced, and (b) play to Mitch's game plan. Seems to - and probably Nick - that (b) might be his shortcoming.
Interesting to see the debate I started, and yes I also agree we should all be right behimd all 22 of the Force players who take the field. It's probably because we expect so much from Henners/The Henj that he disappoints us so.
He did not in the APC game V the Tahs, I an assure you of this. All I hear about is he played well against two clearly subpar japanese teams.
We'll know by next Friday if he's improved.
I wouldn't boo him
When he runs on I genuinely want him to do well.......but he doesn't
I'm sick of the rubbish he delivers
With the quality in the backline this year we need a 9 that will get them clean ball
I thought the whole reason we recruited was that he made Gregan look slow and un-crisp (I may have just made that word up..) when he came on as Mr 15 Minutes, so this was his opportunity to show he could do it from the 1st minute.
I genuinely hope he has a blinder of a season and gets put on the list of those who must be looked after so he can play in RWC07.
But he'll have to extract the digit from what I've seen so far.
What a moronic suggestion. Leave that sort of claptrap to the soccer crowds. What Henners needs is support, not the sort of rubbish your mate is suggesting. If he is anywhere near me in the crowd, I will show him the best place for his sign.

Henners is rubbish
Chiselhead, save your venom until the first few weeks of the season have passed, by which time Henjak will either perform under true competition conditions, or not. I too am put off by multicoloured hair, patronising attitude, whining to the referee, and all else that goes with too much money,an inflated ego and no responsibilities. But the brat is a talented potential champion and his pride will oblige him to step up, if only to ram it up his critics, such as yourself.
I doubt you will have much to criticize in a few weeks. Therefore remain a chiselhead, dont become a knobhead by remaining fixated in your opposition to him.
Nicely put Fulvio
I really hope you are right and we can all say what a champ he is after a few short weeks into the S14 season
Henners is too soft. He is slow. His kicking is a disgrace. he can't tackle.Originally Posted by fulvio sammut
I am a Force supporter but Henners just isn't up to it.
I advise all the Henjackphiles to watch out for Josh Holmes. he has built up to 95Kg and is the fastest number 9 in Australia. This kid may be Australia's halfback for the world cup. He is that good. We bought his brother who is a hooker and likes pies. Henners is a pretender
Pull your head out of the sand
Nobody has there head in the sand chiselhead, all we are trying to say is lets all wait and see what happens next week, you may well be right...But it is still not right to boo your own player, no matter how ridiculously bad they play, Mitch obviously sees something in him or O`young would already have the role....
And nothing wrong with liking pies either...
You are definately passionate in your dislike of Henjack, but hold off till next weekend, and if he does have a shite game you may well feel vindicated....I too have my doubts on his ability, but am holding my toungue in the belief it may come together for him...
