I think it's one of the reasons fan's adopt and adore players they see giving their all. Players who do that tend to be the most revered.

Maybe.

Probably different for everyone.

I stopped idolizing individual players, after James Maloney's final year. For me, I just wanna see a premiership.

The legends of the club, will be the ones that get it.

Geezus you idolised James Maloney?

How may barbecues aye???

Too much information

Don’t answer

No hard feelings whatsoever against Luke. He did the sensible thing and that was look after himself, his family and his future
 
Nonsense. SJ identifies with Luke and his story. Have you memory-holed SJ to the Sharks?

Out of the horses mouth, its not team first. We can speculate and have opinions but as a couch coach, you cant discredit what a player says...

lol why are you always name calling customers who don’t share exact your opinion? SJ stuck his neck out having the whole panel propping up Luke over Tanah and what does Luke do? Leaking to media they want a clarification from webby and tell Chanel to get fudged as 6 and now he’s going to the worst team in the comp 😂👍

SJ came back to the wahs and has a show dedicated to wahs and is de facto an ambassador for us. He’s wahs first career wise. You think your Luke will do the same? He clearly jumped so many hoops and try to save your Luke’s remaining reputation here. He’s a saint. That’s fine. We couch coaches love him very much
 
Interesting period ahead for Luke. A lot of people are saying he is the type of player to win you the grand final due to his x-factor and Tanah is the type of player to get you to one.
 
Just watched a video with SJ explaining all players are family first and not team first and the same goes with the club's, they are club first not player first. He reckons the fans are blowing it up a bit and he's team Metcalf. He's got a point.
He also said LM would be the starting 7 at 14 or 15 clubs. At which point it was clear his post was more based on relationship than fact.

I am so pleased we have retained Luke for the season and excited to see how he goes.
 
Would assume Metcalf's going to get his chance for a fairy tale crack at the 7 to finish his Warriors career. He's not the undroppable player he was a week ago, if he doesn't go well, TMM/Cleary get in there.

Yeah I felt SJ with that statement lost a lot of respect for that, did his Co Hosts call him out? Maybe in the top 50% of 7's would be a more realistic comment.

Cleary, Boyd :D, Walker (over rated IMO but no way he would start over him), Fogerty, Brown, Dearden, Katoa, Hynes, Doueihi, Hughes, Moses. That's 11.

Luke is going to be needed this season. How that plays out will be interesting. Certainly needs to play more direct and go deep in to the line to fit our current way we play, something Boyd, CHT and TMM do pretty well.

The biggest thing for me is LM getting in to the physical aspect of the game. At least a couple of games in cup would be beneficial with that IMO. His two games this year highlighted his lack of physicality and owning his area of the defensive line.

We arent winning finals games with him at 7 in my opinion let alone a grand final. Lacks ability to organize the team constantly and is a real weak link defensively.

I don't think I've ever seen him put a good shoulder in to a tackle.

Maybe. But my ears will be pricking up next time he goes on about team first or whatever in his media appearances.

Family first but respect for your team, teammates who bodyguard you and collide with oppositions, the fanbase and bosses. He ditched his new contract for the bottom team of the comp. Respect
