He will play 15 mins either side of halftime and flash some gang signs after barging for a close range try near d line and then get ‘homesick’ and be released seasons end and play in da Illawarra comp for Mackay cutters in 2025

Best of luck to him, he’s achieved more than most of us in the sporting landscape.

There has been a few players like that which came over to the Dogs either unfit or with a long injury history

The worst of it is, when TK says these types of players will improve at our club because of our facilities, trainers, physios, doctors, etc.....

It's like all the remainder of the NRL clubs tried to do nothing to help these players, and their facilities, doctors, etc were amateurs and we are the only pros in the comp and noone comes close

@Nasheed Cronulla didn't want Pele. Fitzgibbon wanted to get rid of him. Gus quick to sign. Ciraldo was going to be the right mentor for Pele. All stories like that. Pele was worth a gamble. Not at expense of Vaughan.

Yes.
And you know what?
I have no issue with this gamble.
But thsi is what I don’t get.
It’s one thing to take on Pele as a project, but why then axe him when he isn’t the finished package?
Players like this you generally need the full two years.
When you take on someoen like Pele, the onus is on you the coach to make him better. If he fails to do so, that’s on coaching staff.
Punting him because he wasn’t the complete package defies the reason why he was bought in the first place.
Of course, there is a logical answe here and that is Pele was extremely lazy and not trying.
If that is true it’s fair enough, but still a sleight on CC as he failed to motivate him.
But we see this time and time again with doggs. And he’s yet another salary cap hit most likely.

I'm with you. I think they let go of Pele far too quickly and easily unless there is something we don't know. Maybe they haven't really punted him. Maybe they think that he can get his weight down and his fitness up at Hull, rather than in the Knock-on Effect Cup, and they plan to get him back sometime later.

Judging by the recent pic of him it looks like that will be a fail.
I think we never see Pele in the nrl again.
I just think we are inconsistent.
Step 1. Let’s buy this incomplete player as a long term project and turn him into a jewel
Step 2. Actually he’s shit, let’s offload him after 1 year and cop the small salary cap hit.

We have seen this multiple times.
We never bought Pele to hit the ground running but punish him when he doesn’t.
Head Coaches are meant to be man motivators. They aren’t technical like a halves coach for example.
If he is just a fat shit then CC is partly to blame as he failed to spur him on.
This is my concern with the whole ‘lazy trainer’ saga.
If the PR spin is real and CC just is driving standards and punting homeboys not onboard, that is ok.
But a good coach would have inspired the 7 players to lift. That’s a collective.
If this happens again CC gonna be in deep kaka

Pele just kept on failing, he failed to stick to his nutrition plan, he failed to hit his weight KPI, missed his strength KPI’s, didn’t get close to his speed KPI’s and the most obvious of all didn’t get within a bulls roar of his endurance KPI’s. He had all of the support from the specialists, both physical and mental, but he just couldn’t or wouldn’t get his head in the game with any consistency. At some point he might wake up to how much he is wasting the opportunities that he’s been given, to date he shows a lack of commitment and the dedication that being an NRL player demands.

Why axe him? Because he didn't have the will power to drive past KFC without stopping.
I know you're trolling but I will bite. Why is he a salary hit? We could hardly fill our roster last year and he is no longer our problem.
Club gave him a chance, he preferred fried chicken wings.
