oh the irony :laughing:
i dont think he's just a hooker or a backrower.. first and foremost he's a footballer and a good one.

Yes he is a repeat offender but these are the situation s when you get a player cheaper than his usual value. Cap wise a chance to get a bargain. Not saying we jump at all these players but sometimes a wake up call like a sacking can do wonders (sometimes not ). Dugan seems to have turned his career around , recently anyway.

i agree. ive seen him play a few times and he is hard as nails. i really rate him and think whoever picks him up will get a quality player; the question mark hangs over the off field category as said before.
in any case, albeit a very dangerous and stupid thing to do, mid range drink driving (whilst under suspension to boot) is not glassing your girlfriend or beating your pregnant wife (paraphrasing the latter) and for indiscretions such as this one i don't see any problem with signing a player like Carter under very strict conditions.
i think an approach like "sign for a bargain, one wrong move and you're out" is an appropriate one. maybe even a probation period like yilleen gordon was on? that was only a very minor indiscretion and he was shown the door…

On the field he is always in trouble with the refs, off the field he seems to also have trouble with the officals.
He is a goer, but I am not sure he is better than what we already have. Save up big and buy quality

The creation of this thread immediately implies a discussion of "should we sign Paul Carter?"
Why else would a thread be created for the sacking of a rookie?
Well there was a few reasons I started this thread
Firstly Bird has been done for two drinking offences since he has joined the Titans one as recently as last week yet he only lost the captaincy and a 15 k fine
Secondly , I wonder if the NRL will allow any club to resign him
Thirdly ,as I said in this thread I don't think we need him , if we want to push a player through lets push Manaia Cherrington through and play Robbie at lock for short stints and play teams very direct out of dummy half late in halves

He is a star and tough as guts, which is why some mob like the Roosters have probably already made him an offer.

I'm wondering if the NRL will de-register him?

Sign him up for the back row! He's exactly the sort of player we need.

LOL, he's younger and less experienced than everyone in our current back row, and has a drinking problem!
No thanks…

I'm a fan and think he will go a long way because of his style, but dont see any reason to sign him with the amount of backrowers [similar ability/quality/experience] currently at the club…
