1stly, I would like to state that i'm not a NUS paddler.
Hut, have you been rowing around Kallang often? Have you been around NUS team when they train? Apparently, I have seen them at Kallang almost all the trainings and I have no idea where you got the idea they are pompous and make fun of other teams. Maybe it's time for you to change the prettyboy Oakley shades and see for yourself, then start slamming ppl all around.
If i remember correctly, it was not too long ago, that you slammed their coach, Nasiman for whatever reasons i can't remember.
Frankly, i think very little of you trying to put them down as it shows your jealousy of arguably one of the best dragonboat teams in S'pore.
And for the NUS guys, i'm sure they will come back stronger for their PM Cup and they are truely a team to be feared.
Just my many cents worth.
it seems like although it wasn't a regularly enforced rules, NUS must have inadvertently stepped on some tails to cause 2 other teams to protest against their 'non-drumming'. It seems like a case of being defeated through technicality because I don't see how not drumming can affect or disadvantage other teams, although its an IDBF ruling. There must be other hidden reasons behind. Being to pompous and full-of-it may sometimes invite ire.
I agree. Being pompous are cocky does make you the target of a lot of arrows.
NUS has a Major Marketing and PR problem. they are fast, but they've stepped on so many toes in both Dragonboat and Canoe fraternity that everyone just wants a piece of them.
NUS dragonboaters should learn to be more humble and stop walking around Kallang acting like superstars and making fun of slower teams.
