How is it baffling? He oversaw first grade strength and conditioning at a time in our club when a lot of our best players were chronically injured. No offence to him, as he is a legend, but he is past it.

There must be someone out there on the pulse with the new ways and the old that we can get and we should be willing to pay 💰 to get the top guy becoz we need it.
Fitness is like fielding in cricket, you don’t have to be the most talented or the smartest, or the biggest, it’s the one thing in football that anyone can decide to work harder, longer and more often to try and be the fittest in the team. This attitude should be nonnegotiable at our club.

You’re right
- the fact he’s been moved on from both those teams and was only offered a lifeline from the lowly tigers back then is an exact indication of his worth….

And that response is probably an exact indication of your worth.

He's 73 to put things in perspective. I like him
too, but characters like Palmer find it hard to
hang it up. Can't expect a 73 year old to run round
with and condition 18-20+ years olds the whole
year, it's a bit silly. What's more silly is how we're
being painted as the bad guys (again) for not
renewing his contract. Would love to see him
retire and spend more time with his family. Good
luck silver fox, been a staple and icon in the game

Yeah agreed. We need change and youth.

I’m worried about his mental and physical health. Seems like the guy lives for footy and without it could be lost. Obviously loves it. Hope he stays in the game in some capacity and keeps himself busy.

Most clubs would celebrate a guy who gave the code 50 plus years service. Not our guys, only worried about their next pay check.

So many horrid years, hopefully behind us. Arriba

Mate he’s pretty lucky to have been kept on as long as he has.

Wests Tigers have been a retirement village for too long.

Not hard to put together a nice farewell video and dinner for a rugby league lifer. The pigs in suits at our club haven’t got a clue.

Unlike you to have a problem for the sake of having a problem?

He's been let go from plenty of places in the last decade - Didn't get a send off there either.
None of the headlines are bigging the club up for keeping him in the game for a few more years after he was punted everywhere else...

50 Years is a long time, He didn't reach double digits here though...
You say gave the code 50 yrs service like he wasn't paid for it,
And he did it all at the one club?

Well after 37 years working at a company and then let go, at least i got a cake!!!
