Message: [QUOTE="TariqT, post: 3170858, member: 10485"] Personally I really hope we keep him. With a functioning backline, a happy team, and a good coach he's invaluable. From memory he said he always wanted to play for the Broncos. After the pain of losing David Fifita, I really think if the club can get it together and cross that bridge with TPJ for better things. It would be a waste to let him go now. From someone who lives in Melbourne, I can tell you this year has been particularly unique, and punishing from personal experience. With that in mind I think we got to give these young guys some slack. He hasn't got caught with drugs, a sex scandal, some violence, or anything like that I know of. Players have done FAR worse, and have been retained. Some have gone on to make amends. (Simple Jack etc) I'll reiterate these players are young, a lot of them away from family in what is really a historic year with great uncertainty. 5 times, 3 times. What are we talking here? He has been honest from what I can tell. It's inappropriate to judge him from a zoom call act of contrition. These guy's aren't trained public speakers or Hollywood actors. He's still young with his best years just ahead of him. Sometimes forgiveness builds trust. David Fifita and Bali are a different situation with 1.25 mill on the table. Now my emotions have subsided I'd rather keep TPJ if it were still a choice. He's far more punishing in defence, and fantastic in attack when the team has a good coach. [/QUOTE]
