Hardly news worthy. Of course he’ll be re-signed and deservedly so. As for the ther two hangers on…

I find it sickening how American we’ve become. All this talk of freedom of speech! Whatever happened to being kind to one another? As soon as someone speaks of compassion or just being fair or reasonable they’re branded a “snowflake” or something similar. The way I see it is this bloke had every opportunity to play for as long as he wanted, get paid a mountain of money for doing so and he thought he deserved more. He thought he was untouchable. Talk about life in a bubble. I really do wonder how he checks the ethics of all of his donors. It’s interesting to think as to whether or not he accepts donations from people who fall into one of the categories that he believes is going to Hell ie.drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, idolators’.

Evans was born in Perth and spent time in his upbringing at Tenterfield but identifies as a Queenslander. Contracted by the Broncos, he is dreaming of a professional rugby league career.

The Maroons under-16s will have two other Gold Coast representatives in action: Thomas Dearden (Currumbin) and Stepharn Holo (Helensvale).

It all comes back to his hip injury… his foot doesn’t come within coo-ee of the ball.

You’re joking right?

It’s true. People who have used him as their punching bag over the years forget that. Either out of convienicnce or ignorance. Sky was the limit pre injury. He could hit a hole as good as anyone that’s ever played the game. Sadly, a big part of him as a footballer died that night. And what’s most sad about it is that the injury happened in the last 2 minutes when the game was already won. A total waste.

It’s complete BS that he cant touch the ball with his foot. In saying that, I’ve never really taken notice of his play the balls. I think if he was asked, then he’d laugh. He was awful as a centre for years after the injury and I wanted him gone. Not because I didn’t like the guy, but he simply wasn’t any good in that position and that’s where he stayed. Since his move to the forwards, he’s been terrific. But suggesting that his movement is that limited is crazy. If he touches it once, the theory is blown out of the water.

He copped an unrelenting and undeserved barrage on here. He was criticised for his contract, a contract he signed when he was one of the best centres in the game. His contract value wasn’t unreasonable at the time of signing and he was injured horribly while representing our club, the club many of his critics professed to love. He then restructure his deal and took a massive pay cut and people still bashed him. He has given our club so much I’m happy for him to decide when he has had enough and I’m happy for him to have a place in our squad until that time. It’s not like he costs us any of our limited salary cap!

I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve to play on, nor do I question his worth as a club man or have any issue whatsoever with him playing on and being payed accordingly given his dedication & commitment to the club. As Ink has said, I think he’s top of the pile. More-so than Farah and Marshall. I just think it’s ridiculous to suggest he can’t touch the ball with his foot because of injury. Every time I see him get up slowly (and that’s often), I feel his pain. Those bones look tired and sore. I hope he doesn’t drive himself into the ground. He deserves to go out after a finals campaign after all his efforts, be it this year, next or beyond. Time is running out though. For what it’s worth, I wasn’t alone in thinking he was gone when he came back after injury. His performances weren’t good enough often enough. A move to the pack changed everything for him.

@crazycat said in NSW Origin II Team:

I am ready to give up on this NSW team.
Look I don’t know more then Freddy. But far out.

I have zero idea what Freddy is trying to solve with the NSW side. To me the biggest problem was the crapola defense. So the take out our two centers, Morris and Mitchell. I thought Morris had a great game but ok. Mitchell had a brain explosion but was still one of the few threats that night. NSW just did not care about defense and got owned by a pack they should have stood a chance against.

Then we putting Turbo in the Centers where we lack defensively? I can’t see how Turbo is better then Latrell in any way.

Lack of Prop/muscle on the bench.
Lack of a back row reserve/xfactor on the bench.

Glad to see Tariq Sims get a run. Other then that ready to quit supporting NSW, over these dumb decisions.

The alternative is pretty ordinary. I’d sit tight.

How quickly so many forget all of Corey’s fantastic performances. Really happy he’s sticking around. Absolute value for money.
