Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3201915, member: 9326"] Not sure I agree he's 'served his time' necessarily. He not only actively checked out on his duties and obligations to his team mates in the toughest circumstances that all NRL players have ever endured personally due to the isolation and bubble, he also did it in a season where his club was in it's most dire need of all hands on deck as we fought to avoid our first wooden spoon. While that was going on and guys were getting their asses handed to them, TPJ was back socialising with his extended family and friends. I guess you could argue he stopped getting paid, but I'm not sure how much that would have impacted him in those circumstances, if at all. In my opinion, sitting out 2020 was certainly not the punishment it might have been in other seasons and I'm hardly prepared to say that this alone would encourage him to make things up to the club. I do hope I'm wrong though. That said, Kevvie simply doesn't have the luxury of sitting out a guy of TPJ's calibre given how direly our roster is in need of whatever strike weapons we can muster. So whether he deserves it or not, whether he's been sufficiently punished or not, Kevvie simply has to bring him back into the fold and make the best of him now. The success of both their careers long term may actually depend on it. [/QUOTE]
