dont know who is the unregistered but please get your facts correct before posting. If not please keep your comments to yourself.

NUS is going to australia under SCF as a CLUB, not as national team. we are taking part in the inter-club competition and not oceania. we are not taking anything away from the national team. they have been training hard and rightly deserve to go as National Team. get your facts correct!

[Unregistered]

"...look like anyone who got the $$$ can be nat. squad.. really pity those guys and gals..."

You mean SCF puts $$$ as one of the criteria when selecting the nat'l squad? So what else do they look into?

Concerned.

haha...good 1 dude... tze wee u sound offended?... u got a point but its jux a name or status so the national team dun worry.... its the quality that count...i guess let the result speak for itself.. and i tink every body is jux gg there to learn and come back to singapore to spread the knowledge... so in the end the little island of us will benefit....cheer up... tis is the aftermath of the com not a place to show who got the most $.. :twocents:


guys grow up and train... :barbell:

[Unregistered]

the person who is always posting the comments abt the national team stuffs n trying to state facts. pls identify yourself.. i am STanley yeo. If you are in the sports for more than 2 to 3 years, u should know me. if you think you have things to comment on the national team stuffs or you feel that you can be in the team, we always welcome people who think that they are up to the standard to come down for a trial with us.. just fill in a form n you can be assessed. Dun be a coward n say things that are not meant for the humans' eyes to see n hear. Thank you.

[clarke]

stanley be more clear who u tokin about... :ninja: relaxsss brather....

[DART]

Who ever it is to say things abt the national team stuff pls learn to say things that is rite.. you can private msg me if you need. :headbang:

[clarke]

relaxxxxx... dart , we have to be cool
:cheers:

[Unregistered]

Heard that NUS is using the name TEAM SINGAPORE "B". It seems to me that they are also representing the Nation if they use this name. It would definately take colours off the current National Squad. If they are taking part as a CLUB they should juz stick to any name and not TEAM SINGAPORE as this name is exclusive to the NATIONAL TEAM ONLY!!!!!

my hands doing well faster than i tot still went for kallang rowing this afternoon....

Hi all,

It's perfectly alright if you voice your displeasure at a particular issue because you reckon it could have been better.

That's one of the purposes of the existence of this forum. It's to allow discussions amongst people of the global and local canoe polo community who might not have the chance otherwise.

However, I would like to remind all posters to respect yourself and fellow members on this forum. You can do so by
1. identifying yourself when you post a message; and
2. making sure your message does not defame/insult anyone and is factually correct.

Thank you very much,
Moderator

[Nihplod]

Qui vous est???? :rolleyes:

[clarke]

jux stick to the boat the paddle the ball and the sun and i would be happy.... enjoy polo guys... chill. here comes ray to save the day... thank god

[Nihplod]

After reading everything i smell more gun powder lingering in the air than i tot....

[Raymond Liow]

Great spirit from Clarke, Angellover, Typifyme et al.

That's the way to go in sports and in life. Keep our heads up high and never say die.

Good to be playing alongside mates like you in CP Singapore.

Cheerios

I think Raymond is right about the identifying yourself part, there are just too many posts by unregistered persons.

Just to clarify a few things, to the best of my knowledge the NUS team will be going either under the name "Team Singapore 2" or "SCF 2". This does not reflect on their desire to join the Nat. Team, it's just that that is the only way that NUS will allow the players to take leave to go for the Oceania. In fact the NUS team will only be taking part in the Inter-Clubs and not the Oceania category. That's reserved for the Nat. Team.

Maybe "unregisted" overheard my conversations with some of the Nat. Team members at Kallang just now where I mentioned that NUS will be going under "Team Singapore 2", it's probably where the misunderstanding arises. Please take note, NUS team are NOT awarded Nat. Team or Nat. Player status, they are simply making use of the name so that they will be attend the Australian Inter-Clubs.

So, please do cut the NUS team some slack and stop discussing about this topic.

Ray,

is it possible to prevent those UNREGISTERED to post msgs in here?

[James]

Hey NUS....Don't let any-one stop you going overseas to gain the experiences availible. Do what ever you have to.......Those of you that want to complain, get off your bum and do it yourself (if you really want to go that is!)

As for money ruling the roost, well that is a sad fact of life in ameteur fringe sports. If polo is important to you then you can find the money to excel!

Look forward to seeing the friend I made earlier this year in Brisbane at the end of the month.

Train hard, make the $$$ worth it! :headbang:

NZ (no. 2)

[TzeWee]

Although tat did all the hard work for us, sadly we will lose the service of this great man once he settle down in Aus for his studies!!! Such a pity a committed man like him will be lost... :waah:
If only SSC have a man as committed to Canoepolo as he is what a boast :barbell: the sports will have!!!
Such a waste!!!

[Winkie]

Greetings !

Its been a while since i last posted, just want to give my own 2 cents worth ..... :twocents:

This year's National Canoe Polo Championship went by much faster than i expected .... There were some great moments n i hoped it provided entertainment for neutral audiences. Buzzer beater goals , long range goals, golden goals just to name a few.

In my point of view , it was nail biting for me ( i mean literally). Though i've been in this sport for almost 2 years , i've seen a great change in terms of playing style n tactic wise. Canoe-polo is a very dynamic n flexible game which i'm still learning.

I would like to thank SCF itself for being the organiser, bringing us all together. Ah tat for cordinating the roles that each institute have to play and Hanqiang for the floating goalposts. Hopefully someone will take the place of these ppl who have sacrificed much of their time to contribute to this still relatively unknown sport ! :thumbup:

As for tt unregistered user, he/she has his right to comment in this forum, just not let he/she kill ur spirits guys n gals ( NUS n NATIONAL TEAM). Look on the bright side , in the end u guys can further improve our local game after coming back from the OCEANIA trip. Dun get to worked up by his silly remarks yah ?
Do Us Proud ! Relish the moments ! I did , haha , i was part of the team tt went to putrajaya this year in march i think haha ( STM ). Even though there were a few teams, i will forever remember the times i spent with my fellow teammates ( Brothers Cheng , raymond, ezwan, simon, ah pang, stanley, jonathan ) plus team manager colonel Yip n Agnes. CHEERS MAN !

Hahaha sorry if i sound too draggy ......

All the best : ( "SP" , "NUS" , "TP" , "NP" )

[clarke]

yo.. bratherrrr bratherrr

well said... hmmm...dave sacrifice lots of time .. and he build one of the best floatin goalpost in recent time...come here often and dun forget bout tis little family of urs... ( dun wish to play in master wit u) hahahya thanks for all the help and advice u gave...good luck and train hard... most importantly love and enjoy watever u are doin... :headbang:

[Raymond Liow]

Wink,

I must say you're one of the most good-natured player that I've come across in my years in Polo. Not only do you display an immense sense of sportsmanship but you've showed us that not all guys who look like the incredible hulk act like hooligans, on the playing field especially. Though we may be on opposite sides most of the time, I enjoyed myself each time we meet on competition grounds.

My offer to you that night still stands.
Hope to see you again in the pool at the next Champs.

Cheers,
Your friend
