Any thoughts? Sad when players have to switch to sign contracts, but such is the game, I guess.

Well he won’t be playing there here

Desperation

An excuse to let himself go.
Justifying his weigh gain, laziness and lack of commitment to being a professional athlete.

Sounds about right for BJ Leilua.

Not at NRL level one would think...
I'm sure he'd be a good prop for the Tumut Blues, get him back closer to Canberra since he seems to like that area.

Anyway, embarrassing.

BJ not a workhorse and never has been ..
Don't blame Sticky for punting him.
He wants to play prop, that amuses me
Maybe second row instead

Keen on the idea of 10 minute stints per half.

Don’t think it’s because he wants to play there. He probably feels like the only way to save his career is to re-invent himself. The back row would make more sense. He won’t be a success regardless though.

I dont wish ill on the bloke. It certainly didnt work as planned by WT and no doubt himself. If this is how he thinks he may keep going in a professional career of league good on him. Probably he and his brother have been having words as to what to do and options. In wont be here at WT, maybe ESL as I cant see any NRL team using him. I suppose there is the State league equivalents which can provide a reasonable income.

 

[Red88_Tiger]

At minimum wage he will be earning more than an average day job.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

If he gets back into his KFC sure he will be the size of a prop for a group 6 team come the pre season

 

[TIGERPOWER]

Another thief that we signed. Came here did nothing and stole our money. Players like BJ irk the hell out of me. They are naturally gifted with size, pace and power but unwilling to put in any of the hard work. He’s finished in Australia.

 

[TonyTiger]

Desperation

He’ll be gassed in the first 5 minutes.

 

[Harvey]

Wasn't he going to switch to the backrow earlier? Trying to squeeze out one more contract.

I think most clubs would be looking for him to switch to being a professional and showing some work ethic. Without those changes he can switch whatever he likes, but will still be a lazy player.

 

[Tiger Woods]

A couple of Bondi burgers a day should do the prop trick

 

[Spartan117]

Good luck to BJ,

His prob wasnt talent at centre, it was attitude and effort.

I dont think he willbe a success in either position based on the last two years.

 

[upthetigers]

Funny I'm getting a Man Shake ad viewing a BJ thread haha

 

[happy_tiger]

Maybe Prop is short for Property Manager .....but he'd be crap at that as well

 

[Geo]

Bouncer up the Cross is his calling...

 

[oldprop]

If it’s a choice between Joey and Woods then I’m thinking Joey has potential.

 

[twentyforty]

I’m not sure if BJ is serious or just taking the Mickey out of some props?
