Why do people want to keep looking over their shoulder at the past. They were signed for 2015, they would have come and gone by now. Same with players that leave us, people are obsessed with proving how shit they are.

Sione is a perfect example of a kid being hyped up way too much too early by the media. He got selected for Australia after like 7 FG games and his career went downhill after he then signed a huge deal which he was never worth.

Yeah I understand mate but it’s the off season so I reckon if people want to talk about it they can.

Personally I couldn’t give a flying fuck so I just have a quick read, move on and wait for something that interests me like Isaac’s quality inside mail

Why is it all ways the 'superstars' out of Newcastle that Andrew Johns hype up turn out to be shit?

Jarrod Mullen the next Johns? Remember Joey's wraps on Luke Brooks?

This was a weird situation we’d essentially signed them and they had said they had no real intentions of leaving Newcastle basically just drove the price up for the knights to resign them, getting rid of the cooling off period is one of the best things the nrl did however it helped us in this situation none of them went onto anything

I still reckon Sione would of been a decent signing. Would
of been a decent back rower. Knights were woeful and never used him correctly
