Poor fella. Hopefully a good year for him this year
Harsh maybe to some, but i don't think so. They are paid very good money to do their job, not to come out in the media and make excuses for their poor displays.Bit harsh some of the comments on here. I've got no doubt his form last year would've taken a pretty big toll on his mental health, he came over as one of the team's leaders and probably one of the few players we had that had a bit of an x factor and he had an absolute shocker. At least he's come out publicly and acknowledged it.
The fact that he's on so much coin doesn't sit well with me either but that's really the fault of our management at the time.
Nor Napa.DWZ was never worth those $$$...a shockingly inconsistent player with terrible hands. Thankfully the clowns that offered him that deal are gone.
The tries down his side last week weren't his fault , TrHarsh maybe to some, but i don't think so. They are paid very good money to do their job, not to come out in the media and make excuses for their poor displays.
What excuse does DWZ have for the shit defence in last week's trial where it looks like nothing had changed in that area over past few years where we leaked way too many tries down our right side of defence with DWZ left wanting last week? Our right side defence has already been exposed as weak where simple reads look worse than park footy.
There should be no excuses. We have recruited well, a new coach and great support staff. I don't expect perfection ever game but we can't continue to make the same old rookie errors. There comes a time where players have to stand up and show their ability as to why they are paid what they are getting in the NRL.
Sorry, these pissy little excuses from this year forward won't wash with me and many fans especially when we see no improvements in individuals. It's now time to shut up and let their footy do the talking, stand up, toughen the f*ck up and play to the best of their ability
in no universe is DWZ worth anywhere near the money he is "allegedly" on..Hold on a sec.
Let's back up here. He signed for us. Absolutely played out of his skin for us on his arrival. As a result, we gave him an extension with the dollars associated - did that form warrant the money he is reported only? If that form continued - absolutely. But based on form last year - hell no.
Apart of me is hoping both he and Napa have cracker seasons just to shut some people up on this forum. They're both good players when a team is going well. So let's see how they go when we are even more competitive, which I am hoping will happen under Baz. PS - this isn't me wanting them to be re-signed to a 10 year deal, just me wanting to see the best out of our most experienced players. If they can hit their straps again - I am sure we will be better for it.
No issues with anyone criticizing his defensive reads or his overall form. My comment was more around those having a go at him stating he was going through mental health issues, which is pretty outrageous really. I honestly don't think he was making excuses either, he was just saying his bad form got him down and he got in his own head too much.Harsh maybe to some, but i don't think so.

Last year some of the guys were playing golf 3 times a week after training.Did all these ***** just have picnics during Dean Pay pre seasons? Fmd
It was being run like a local A grade side. Deano had beers to drink as soon as the clock hit 2pm.Last year some of the guys were playing golf 3 times a week after training.
In fact some days they were done at 1:30-2. Absolutely fucking disgraceful what the coaching staff passed off as training and an even further disgrace management let that happen. We were gassed in every game we played.
