Not quite! Was typing while watching the game..And was frustrated with Napa.. lol but when I mentioned that he has gotten the short end of the stick most grilled me that he has had his chance and that he has been given a fair go! What crap even today he played better than Ava and Napa and he still gets hooked!

I only watched the last 25 mins on the TV and was wondering why Napa was still on the field and didn’t see Renouf play. TB needs to get rid of Napa he should never take the field again for us

But I am not sure that they intend to get rid of Napa cause Fittler showed a projection plan for the 2023 bulldogs team and he had Napa placed on the bench! My eyes nearly popped out of my head!

Sorry meant 2022 projection

Yeh I thought it was a done deal, although nothing official from the club.

Whatever Hero.
All entitled to our opinion. You're welcome to yours mate, as am I.
I guess you obviously didnt follow him as a youngster...he was tauted as the next SBW at that time...it didnt happen tho...you should not take posts out of context as majority have accepted he has been moved on, said so, and wish him all the best.

Yes comparisons between Renouf and Sonny Bill were thrown around as were these ones;

Waratahs roll midfield dice by including 112kg version of 'young Sonny Bill Williams'

Despite only playing one match this year, Waratahs coach Rob Penney is rolling the dice with league convert Tepai Moeroa at inside centre on Saturday night.

www.rugbypass.com

Likened to a young Sonny Bill Williams, Moeroa played 112 NRL games in the back row for Parramatta over six seasons before switching back to rugby this year, where he made a huge impact at schoolboy level.


This bloke who was previously known as Karl McNicol left the Dogs for what was at the time for his level of experience, a rich deal 3 years at 600k with the Sharks and sunk without trace...........Played 11 minutes of footy off the bench in first grade costing 20k per minute and was released at the end of his first year.

Karl Filiga - Wikipedia

In 2007, Filiga was labelled by his manager as "the next Sonny Bill Williams"T

This.

Hes nearly getting minimum wage, he can't have been chased that hard from clubs lol.

do you really believe the roosters paid mini wage
Load of shit

that’s what’s shown on the books but he wouldn’t play for minimum wage.

 

[Phalangist]

You might be correct but he's been loyal in the past so I cant see him wanting more from us than what Rorters would offer...even if going into a better system.

Its probably more that he is fed up and had no decent feed back from the coach so knows himself he has the ability and more confidence in Robinson than Barrett at any price...can't blame him.

The shame of it all is Gus would have been here to guide Renouf. We'll never know now.

i was always told it’s easier to retain players then poach players because they usually stay for less and go for more.

What are you on about. The next SBW according to who? A couple of peanuts on TK

No one with even half a decent footy brain would’ve made such comparisons. And you obviously didn’t follow him as a youngster either as he’s never displayed superstar qualities. Above average junior at best.

Thank God this chapter is coming to an end. The club has invested a decades worth of coaching development into Renouf and he’s delivered nothing. Move on

Didn’t Sonny debut as an 17 or 18 year old. Killed it from very first game. Silly comparisons if true

Sonny was an absolute freak. Still get goosebumps about some of the things I saw him do on the footy field. And yeah pretty sure he was club and test capped by 18 and killed it at both levels from the get-go.

Still questioning as to whether anyone actually rated Renouf as the next Sonny. Insanity but there’s a few plebs I wouldn’t put it past

 

[maroondog72]

Gus seen the writing on the wall with this bloke.

 

[kap123]

Glad we let go of Renouf. Not that he isn't talented but we have tried that and he isn't flourishing in our system. I'd rather set a clean slate and prefer to give a min wage contract to Mavoni Tuifua which we have done as opposed to resign Renouf.

He will be like Adam Keighran and will provide safe coverage across the Roosters squad but was never going to set the world on fire (the SBW comparisons were absurd).

 

[Scoooby]

Wherever he goes he will be a machine, I think we should of kept him, only looks good in the blue and white. Well I liked him anyway.!!!
