I want Dai to stay, I don't want Dai out, but for every few over the top Dai out post there is someone saying Dai knows best as he is a pro and throwing armchair critic insults in the thread, at least until Rob Smith makes a negative comment (such as his pointed ones regarding the Stewart debacle), or Dai himself says "I/we made a mistake" or someone connected to the club makes a negative point, such as Edwards' comments on our recruitment. When Dai acknowledges fault, it then becomes acceptable to mention it, otherwise we are back to armchair critics insults and every criticism being mis read as an attack on Dai, who will, of course make mistakes, because everyone does.
The debate has become toxic, sadly, and there is often nowhere in the middle, whatever gets said people will jump on it. I think Dai has done well, but I also had (and still have) doubts about Lima's style and felt our second row resources needed strengthening last year, even if it meant not recruiting in the back row, if I say either one I know there will be a response defending Dai from someone who will answer as if I am calling for Dai to be sacked, or I will get the classic "you are wrong, I disagree with all your points" followed by zero explanation (which is really annoying if you have made points such as "I think Sarries are better than us at defense" and makes the person making the comment look like a troll, or worse).
On the other side we have the whole blame it on Costello, Dai has lost the dressing room etc. , all repeated ad nauseam. I get that it beyond the realms of annoying and into the arena of trolling, and it infects every thread like a virus, but I feel it is better to engage at least until the insults fly.
Back to Dai. I hope he has a good weekend. No game for us and a proud day for him, something to lighten the gloom. With a couple of good signings we can rebuild next year, and hopefully spread some optimism.
