Should we look at offering Luke Garner another contract? After 2 years in the Penrith system he would be better equiped to be that dependable back rower that can play 80mins on an edge with a bit of strike.

So we can watch him have a little giggle to himself anytime he gives away one of his stupid penalties on tackle 5 like he used to do last time he was here? No [This word has been automatically removed]ing thank you.

Our squad has been around and experienced a fair bit collectively. There are enough members in this squad who have lots of big game experience and/or have come out of the best clubs of the modern era.
There are too many players in this squad who know what they are doing for this team to lose as much as it does. Can it be improved? absolutely. However winning only 10 games from our last 60 starts is bullshit.

How many of those players come from a background of winning culture? How many of them are playing for the jersey?

Well the Roosters aint going to win a premiership in the next 3 years either. Underperforming club with the roster they have. They start favourites every year, particularly with the journos, because they are all scared of Nick Politis and suckered in by Robinson's sermonic monologues. Does anyone else think he is a complete bore who loves the sound of his own voice?. I would rather listen to AFL coaches talk about disposals or whatever it is they call it than listen to TR.

Sezer - Canberra made the Prelims in 16 and a GF in 19, Leeds made the GF in 22
Koroisau - Souths played the GF in 14, Manly played finals in 17 and 19, Penrith played GFs in 20, 21 and 22.

As for the silly line about playing for the jersey...they are all professional athletes whose services have been paid for.

Silly line hahaha.
Maybe you’re right? The jersey and all its underlying factors means nothing to them, but it should.
Your alternative of ‘you’ve been paid to do a job, get out there and do it’ or ‘you’ve been paid now keep up your side of the deal’ sounds demotivating and lacks elements of what it means to be a member of a team.
The blues coach understands the meaning of the jersey, and how it can create obsession to succeed.

Is Taumalolo no good these days? Haven't seen the cowboys play much and surprised he's #17. The guy was incredible and is only 30. Payten never seemed that interested in him. What's his form like? I'm sure Cowboys would be happy to offload his contract if they're playing him off the bench but clubs probably can't get near his salary.

He hasn't particularly impressed but I've heard he can't train half the week due to a busted knee. Workload occasionally needs to be managed during games as well.

He was brought up on almost second page on this thread a couple of years ago. The silence is deafening now.

I think you would have to pry him out with a crowbar he loves living in Townsville and the warm weather last time I was up there was in town chatting to a friend and he went past us on a skateboard
