Sounds like a done deal. Well worth the whole listen. If not fast forward to about the 33 minute mark.
Looks like Merlo. Came to us in 1980 from Penrith a sparky frim Maltese background.
Not a chance he'll play centre in the next 6 months. He's a union player, needs to understand league plays in attack and defence. He'll definitely start at wing, keep it simple and if/when he starts killing it may get considered for centre eventually. He's played wing and fullback, let's not make it too complicated for him
Flippers? That’s disgraceful? So is his attempt at league.
Better in reserves.
Get off your high horse
Once Api is gone, definitely.
Not re-sign him. Play him in reserves and tell him he's free to leave. That's what other clubs would have done.
And replace him with someone just as bad. If its not him, it’s someone else.
Someone else may be better, worse, or just as good. He will always be the same. He hasn't improved since he got here. We should have had half a dozen players recruited to replace him by now, instead he started the season in our top squad.
Yes,
Totaly agree. We deserve better than what we have had to watch and support lately. The effort was there but just not the ability to execute
There are more important things than money my friend. It appears you don’t grasp that winning is a culture not bank account. Professional organisations understand the importance of all team members being committed to the organisation & believe in structures. Topou clearly does not . There is an old saying, “You can make the willing able, but you can’t make the able willing.”
Some are motivated differently. Ben Teo, SBW and even Matterson to call out a current player are/were paid mercenaries and didn’t really hide the fact. We don’t really know Junior’s motivations yet. Could be money, could be the appeal of South East Qld, who knows. If he starts moving from club to club though, we might get an idea of what motivates him. That’s if he‘s even good enough. He hasn’t convinced me yet.
Blokes getting a hefty pay rise, getting coached by the greatest, moving to Qld.... wish it would happen to me...
Good post .
Depends if you are judging by reputation or performance. Our pack start last year on fire, but by the end of the year they looked average at best.
