Message: [QUOTE="Skathen, post: 3646777, member: 8789"] Same could be said of any player that gets their pay day. Particularly when they aren't firing like they and we would be hoping. People worried giving JT13 the biggest/longest contract in NRL history would see him go off a cliff and for a number of years he proved that wrong - his body is letting him down now sadly - but he's had his ups and downs. generally he's given it everything. It all comes down to the individual. Everyone goes through highs and lows. Athletes, particularly at this elite level where 5% variance is the difference between succeeding and failing - take years to really get themselves sorted on and off the field consistently. Build the healthy habits and routines. Shit, when I was 21 being organised enough to even make my own lunch ahead of time was something I couldn't be bothered with. Professionalism and dedicatoin doesn't just happen. It takes years of work and perserverence. Milford got comfortable, fat, lazy - added to the fact we tried to turn a running half into a game managing half and that didn't work out so well. Can't let fear of one player's failure, taint everyone we sign. [/QUOTE]
