Not so much lazy, But Dennis Rodman would catch a flight to Vegas after a game, Go on a 3 day bender. Probably do 100 lines of coke(I'm guessing)Drink a ton of alcohol. Finger 100 women(And probably men) get no sleep then fly back for training, work his ass off. Then come game day be the hardest worker on court.

Maybe we let Addin do this? Lol.

Man I hope Addin didn’t try stink finger any of the team. Sounds like an animal

If Mrs FB sells pies along with brownies then I'd be very worried

 

[Tragic]

The recruitment manager and CEOs messed up big time by the sound of it lol, wonder if he became lazy after the contract?

Messed up and won a premiership, wish we messed up like that.

Only Apple if I recall. Steak and Cheese is still ok.

Ps. Only know this having spent a lot of time in the US and they're not big on meat pies.

 

[Makasene]

I wonder if there is a need to offload him to upgrade others?

If so I hope he can't go anywhere so we can have a Jab Neame come November 1.

I don't give a shit how good you are, A 10 year deal is no good for either party! The should be banned from the nrl.

I would give 5 years the max you can sign a player.

These deals are rare for a reason.

DCE is the only other one I'm aware of. His has worked and he's looking at another contract.

Didn’t he re-sign after that- 2015 they won it- they had him on unders then.

They got to the 2017 GF on this contract but yea this was done well after their prem.

I’ve got no recollection of that game but you’re right- 34-6 to the storm it turns out.
I feel like there’s a hint of self interest with coaches and administrators who sign players on these massive deals because they want to win now and probably don’t really care what it looks like in the long term because it’s very unlikely they will still be around at the tail end of it.
In paul greens case- literally- may he rest in peace.

It was a bit of a nothing game. That 2017 Storm team is arguably the greatest regular season team assembled and it was obvious for the entire season they should win the comp with ease, which they did. Possibly matched by the 1992 Broncos for greatest team some will say.

94 Raiders the best I’ve seen. If only that centre of theirs didn’t backflip on that Warriors contract & we had him through his prime.

Never won a premiership again after they messed up, how messed up is this mess eh

Guess who was the half back that took them to the GF

It was Michael Morgan.

But our man TMM was at 6. A mid-season transfer no less.

I Thought this was a recruitment thread

Its a bye week

It's a tangent from discussions of Taumalolo on the outer.

Probably just acceptable in a bye week.

Bye week or not
The disscussions are so far off the mark
Keep it to recruitment etc

No to Taumalolo then?

Taumanono

Taumanono

Bit tough to call him a bum. Maybe Payten’s the nono?
