Message: [QUOTE="Allo, post: 3585238, member: 8190"] TPJ’s a classic case of wanting the talent without the attitude/personality It’s all ifs and buts If he can pull his head in, be a positive presence and cut ties with all the idiots in his ear, he’ll be amazing. If he can take instruction and not go rogue both on and off the field, he’s undoubtedly someone you want on your team But, the skeptic in me can easily see him pissing off to the Roosters or Dolphins whenever he feels like it, and/or getting into trouble and bringing a Haas, Walsh or Mam down with him, or having a brain explosion on the field and costing us a big game. And also that he is now only jumping back in to a successful team after making his bed at a shit one - not holding himself accountable still. Things are a bit different, Kev’s a different and better coach, so he may be able to deal with him better and has less idiots like Lodge and piss-weak ‘leadership’ like Glenn around, and Dave is now in the role longer than the ‘new CEO cuts out the toxic/dead/expensive wood’ phase. We also have Reyno and Taupau who won’t suffer fools, the playing group is a year older and have gotten all the way to the big final so they shouldn’t ever want to play comfortable footy where someone like Pangai thrives in the worst way. One thing in our favour this time is it’s seemingly a year-by-year proposition that will cost the same as a high-end squaddie that would only play maybe 10 games at most anyway. So we aren’t locked in to a huge deal that we’d have to cover again if he left Overall though I wouldn’t risk it, unless he can show through actions he’s changed, because he’s said a lot of words that have added up to nought so far in his career. One thing that may work one way or another, is that we make and win the GF, and we don’t pick him and see if he wants to stay around the following season to help the team again. [/QUOTE]
