    Don't forget Ryan Williamson!
    Luke Towers, Shaun Foley, Josh Lewis, Jack Bosden, Steve Naughton, JP du Plessis can be added to the list of names that the forums hype up as the next big thing and struggle to even get a game for first grade let alone become the stars they get hyped as

      south Sydney paid him to go through private school only for him to turn his back on them
      not that I care about them
      then roosters moved heaven and earth including getting she nrl to agree to sign him off to play nrl as a 17 year old
      and he went around the / his management team did and signed with rugby Australia
      the fact suaali wont make out top 17 next year why would you keep him? Even if a team does not perform well you still can individually and at least show up which he wasn’t interested most of the year
      his career will be as a mercenary going to the highest bidder
      However his next contract may be a lot less
      The thing is that most are looking to blame JS for the situation yet the Roosters must share in the blame because we gave in to his demands. We knew what they were and the possibility that they could blow up in our face. There were reports at the time that the Roosters thought that once he joined we would be able to convince him to stay. Obviously that didn't happen but we are not privy to any discussions had between JS and the club about him moving to union. You can hardly believe what's reported in the media.

      If we want to be upset with JS then we need to be equally upset with the club for putting itself in that position.

      SBW is also considered a mercenary yet I've seen it on this forum where some have referred to him as a club legend. I suppose time will tell how it ends for Joe, if he returns or even stays next year and contributes to a premiership, all will be forgiven!

      I would expect however, that his current manager would have trouble getting any of his stable a gig at the Roosters.

              I don’t think that is right. My understanding is that the Kings school offered him a scholarship & that’s when he started playing Rugby. He’s a Penrith junior & he would be deadly playing for them.

                How are these blokes doing?

                Looks like JP's still playing in 'Murrica. Why'd he leave us?
