I hate the title of this thread, i think Luke deserves respect for the efforts he has made for the Roosters.
Certainly a courageous man, and always come across as a genuine good guy.
Yes the head knocks have taken their toll, and he's slowed down a bit, but many halves play their best footy in their early 30's.
I certainly like Dearden, and would sign him in a heartbeat, but show some respect for Luke,
he will be with us next year, doing his best, and still has plenty to offer.Last edited by NorfolkStreetKid; 07-29-2023, 03:22 PM.

Toops going nowhere. Still playing well and will become the only remaining player that qualifies for Long Service Allowance in 2025.

I’m not sure that’s true, Butcher & Manu are into their 8th season this year, Radley, Collins & Keary will be into their 8th season next year which from my understanding means they would all qualify.
I still think Toops will be retained on merit in 2025.

Didn't know they dropped it down to 8 years. They also changed it to 10 years in top 30 players across multiple clubs which means Teddy already qualifies.

It’s so loose the discount just becomes part of the cap anyway because so many players are eligible, I can’t imagine there’s a club out there not using it in full every year.

The intent behind long service discounts is good but the execution is poor, I’ve also been told that they include years played above SG Ball level at the club but haven’t been able to confirm that.

Also can I ask since when does being a good guy matter on the footy field? Does it earn you points?
