Just look at Todd Carney. Once an idiot, always an idiot. Most aren't going to get their act together just cos they might be on their last chance. Its in their DNA to be wankers.
Very disappointed James

For every Todd Carney and James Gavet there are probably another 3 or 4 players at every club close to getting marched. It's a money and ego driven business with sometimes very little real consequence for your actions mentality. Club bosses and player managers tend to brush a lot under the carpet to keep players happy.

I don't like this guy now. Just a poor effort.

I was surprised by how well Buchanan went last night. He's been probably the best player in our NSW cup team all year too. Considering we have Buchanan, Lodge, Brown and a few other decent props down in the lower grades I don't think Gavet is a huge loss. Lodge is probably already better than him anyway. I'd punt him and put someone in the side who wants to be there. Woods, Galloway, Taupau, Seumanufagai, Lodge, Buchanan, Brown and Graham are all contracted to the NRL side next year so we should be fine.

No but he isn't signed for next year I don't think, and I doubt he will be now.

you both are being a tad harsh.
you need to look at how much he's achieved compared to the people he grew up with.
idk how many second or third chances he deserves or he's gonna get but as long as he's contracted to the tigers, the club and the supporters need to back him and provide him any help wherever possible.

If Jack had Gavet's ability he'd be a world beater. One has amazing ability and a horrible attitude, the other has little ability with a superstar attitude.

I appreciate the sentiment but Buchanan isn't totally without ability. He's got a sound defensive technique and has developed late footwork at the line as shown when he beat the first man on more than one occasion last night. But you're right, it is his attitude that will get him far. That and his tank. He doesn't seem to get tired.

He's a guy who will work hard, but isn't going to break a game open. Handy player to have for depth but won't reach the levels of Woods or Taupau. Probably the kind of guy who could be made NSW Cup captain, and his job would be to instill a good attitude into the kids as they come through.

Hmm probably too soon to call him a career reserve grader imo. David Gower didn't lock down a first grade gig until he was much older than Jack Buchanan and Jy Hitchcox turns 25 tomorrow and debuted yesterday! I think we forget that he's only 22\. Petero Civoniceva debuted at 22 as a centre and didn't play Origin until he was 25\. Jack has played 26 first grade games already!
To put it in perspective at the end of last year Mick Potter said that he wouldn't be fully developed for THREE MORE YEARS. We're only one more year down.

Again I heard this from another Tigers supporter yesterday so I'm not sure how true this is but heard he was either very late or a no show at the captains run
Is that true or close to the mark ??
