You have lost the debate move on. You are both good contributors to this forum. No need to get so personal.

murry, thank you for your contribution and we shall agree to disagree on your conclusion to the "debate" that is no longer.

I suspect that we may have to put up with him for another year, as he won't be easy to offload as I've heard he's not keen to leave Sydney and certainly no other NRL club would be as foolish as the Roosters were and offer him a comparable salary to what the Roosters will be forking out in 2010.

Yes what happens to players like this? I'm guessing he will either have to lift his form or suffer a significant pay cut it he wants to go elsewhere.

Easy....let him suffer degradation by playing him for the Newtown Jets. I'm sure his manager will ask for a mid season release rather than see his market value and appeal to other codes shrink.

Sounds like a perfect solution to me. And at least he'd then be playing in the colours he has an affinity with, the blue and white of the Dogs.

With Conn and Kouparitsis alongside him, he could pretend it was like the old days. Add Myles to the mix as well if he can't behave.

What's with all the hate towards Conn before he pulls the jersey on..??

He could work out very well for us in 2010...

PtB its the same as the hate for Koops

The bloke did his job, filled in where needed, and some small minded individuals seem to be hung up on his Doggie past. Its pathetic and getting beyond a joke. Grow up and give the guys a fair chance.

I questioned one of LR's submissions and he took offence. I am not angry with him as I am sure that I offend people with my comments from time to time. I can live with it though. I am on his ignore list I have been informed.

I may have upset him before but I don't recall......

dont worry matey, that what a "FORUM" is for. Say whatever u want and express your feeling even if you agree or disagree on the comments.

Koops is a SHIT GO for us, Showed Enthusiasm ? Are you serious ? He was one of our WORST rite next to SA. Why the hell do you think Bulldogs got rid of him. Bulldogs were even still paying for his contract while he was at the roosters that's how crap he was. He drops the ball, has a crap work load. Koops/Sa/ both should go, I would even keep SKD over both of them.

As far as Koups, you cannot judge his abilities on the 3 games he played at HOOKER!!!

WTF is that shit, he is a backrower through and through who is struggling to find consistancy in first grade. He has the talent, he has the ability, now all he needs is a decent coaching staff to flourish under.

You give a bloke who can't carry a ball properly a chance, yet Kouparitsas gets a foot to the face because of his Doggies past ?

I really wonder if some people actually watch NRL and not just read the papers.

Matey, I think he played more than 3 games for us. Ok foair enough his not a hooker....he has already played in the backrow for us and that game he still dopped the ball and missed easy one on one tackles. Everyone's got there opinion about koops but just thing about "BIG MIKE" why the hell would bulldogs get rid of him..........NOT ONLY THAT..........continued to pay for his contract untill it was finsihed while he was already playing for us. bulldogs dont get rid if talent they pass the shit to us and it's always been like that.

[novice chook]

It's not as if you'd see much of Kouparitsis or Conn if you watch the NRL, considering they've played the bulk of their careers in the NSW and/or QLD Cups, and the coverage isn't all that great of those comps.

But from what I have seen, the signs aren't encouraging.

But perhaps Brian Smith can work miracles with them.

thrown into a team of dead beats, put in random positions, amongst team mates playing random positions. showed far more enthusiasm than the majority and there is no way he is our worst player next to Sa. he might not be the best player in the game, but he did the job asked of him. the dogs got rid of him because they had no need for him. we took him cuz idiots like sa, myles and cherro kept on being suspended and we had a few injuries. i'm not sure what exactly people expect-no one signed him to be the game breaker.

is it school holidays still??
it is obviously going to depend on your expectations of him, but he's done a fair job of what has been asked of him imo.
