James O'Connor

[HEGtheROOSTER]

He was originally a Rugby League player as a junior.
Too much baggage tho for mine........

[Easts75]

Back to Toulon on money not many League players see.

Hi 'personal issues' are that he is just a dickhead who cannot handle his alcohol.
I'd love to see him play for us but he's just too much of a trouble maker.

[Kingbilly]

Useless waste of space. His personal issue is that the wallabies didn't want him.
Apart from goal kicking, he would not make an impact in the NSW cup let alone first grade.

[The ticket]

Possibly the biggest dickhead in Australian sport. When he, Beale and cooper were getting into all that trouble he was the ringleader but was always smart enough to slip out the back door in time and let his less smart mates take the rap.

No thanks

I was lost in France........................

I think you would find Beale has been the instigator, he has always been a problem but has people in high places looking after him, Alan Jones has always been his No1 supporter and Beale again was involved just recently in that Texting scandal with the female official. He is nothing but trouble, no brains. From Mt Druitt originally to Joeys and with a lot of ego

I'm not defending Beale, I'm condemning Oconnor

You don't know what the personal issues are, there could be a genuine problem. Greg Martin is just likes to big note himself all the time. We don't put down SKD when he is having problems as no one knows what is actually happening

[Burnt Rooster]

I am not a big Yawnion watcher, but I think get his head right, and at the right price, he might be worth a gamble, but with a no excuses clause in his contract, one stuff up, and he's out the door. If it comes off well and good, if not, nothing much lost.

[Guest]

I've honestly never seen him play. Didn't his teammate just compare him to Justin Bieber?

[Kingsgrove-Loiner]

You know its the offseason when Rugby Union rejects start getting tossed up.

I thought we'd reached rock bottom last week with the Jamie Soward thread. Apparently not.

Soward looks like Fittler compared to O'Connor.

[Johnny.]

Has the potential of David Campese and the personality of Richard Loe. He'd fit right in with this freak show.

He can tackle better than Campese as he couldn't, but why would O'Connor want to go to league ? When he is making a motza playing rugby and seeing the world over and over again

As an aside to that, I wonder if the real question out at Penrith is 'how do we retain Watene-Zelezniak?' Move him to fullback, slot Moylan in at five-eighth and ship the ageing and suddenly injury-prone Soward off to another club, perhaps? So, are they just being smart and thinking ahead or is there a club out there prepared to give Watene-Zelezniak a run at fullback next year? To be clear, I have no inside information but it seems plausible to me that we might see DWZ as an attractive option.
