    Does Paul Roos play favourites?

    Interested to hear your opinions on it.

    Do you think Paul Roos plays favourites? If not, do you think the leadership group plays favourites?

    I think there's definitely less of the favourites-playing happening this year than in previous seasons, but there definitely appears to be cases of double standards applying to a small group of players.

    I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

    If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

      Davo is obviously not a favorite.
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

        How can any of us possibly know? We're not privy to what goes on around the club on a daily basis and we're not privy to the instructions that each player is given at the start (and during games).

            I'm just asking for an opinion, not whether anyone knows for certain.

            I'm sure the majority of comments in this forum are opinion based.

              He most certainly is not

                Silly question. Why else would he keep going to the same hairdresser despite clearly needing a new haircut.

                  Well, he has certainly said more than once that some players are treated differently to others. So I guess that is a yes. It is clear that Davis is his favourite scapegoat, although he has a number.

                    Maybe he's preparing for later life and growing his hair so it can be harvested for a 'piece' when the real stuff disappears.

                      Not sure about favourites, however I know for a fact that Roos plays Trivial Pursuit and every so often Uno with Dylan and Tyler.

                        1)Who gets dropped/promoted for no apparent reason
                        2)Who doesnt get dropped after a string of bad games
                        3)Who doesnt get promoted even tho they have been flying in the magoo's
                        4)Who deserves to get promoted but doesnt because he isnt a favourite.


                        We dont know excately but you can get a pretty fair indication from the out side looking in.
                        Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

                          Does his Uno deck include a Take 4... weeks in Canberra? That could explain some selection decisions

                            It was blatantly obvious that he was playing favourites last year by picking blokes who didn't deserve to be picked and dropping blokes who didn't deserve to be dropped.

                            It's different this year.
