Does it really take that much effort to iron your shirt? I'm sure they could find someone at the club to do the iroining.

it is Joel's choice to play for any club he wants. Good on ya, Joel

, and hopefully we'll see you in a light blue jersey soon, too.

btw, his shirt is ironed - those are natural creases. straight guys

Remember the quote somethign along the lines of
"I've been in Canberra for 22 years, and hope to stay for another 22 years"

To me, it's more the fact that he simply stopped trying once he hads his contract. Did not score a single bloody point after that day.

Raiders have a bit to blame as well when they shafted his brother the previous year .... that was always going to come back and bite them in the proverbial.

True, but Mick was still putting in after he signed with Manly. Benmeyer is right, it went from 12 tries in 14 games to 0 in 10.

Add to the fact he looked disinterested for a lot of that, and i think that is where a lot of the anti-Joel sentiment comes from.

Nice guy though.

I agree his is a nice guy he seemed to be a decent bloke when I saw him in public after he signed for the roosters.
But the fact is he almost didn't want to be here after he signed for them.

Look at Michael Monaghan, he was shown the door by the club but gave his 100% until the last seconds.

Anybody remember the decoy slip againts the Warriors

I'm not defending him guys ... just evening out some of the blame for his departure.

Canberra Milk · Post by **Canberra Milk** » February 21, 2005, 12:09 pm

i don't think Joel "not trying" was the reason for him not scoring a try in 10 games. he had a knee injury, which didn't help, but what i think is more relevant is the pressure he felt after signing with the Roosters - he was probably too conscious of his own game, instead of playing naturally, which is what can happen under pressure. he didn't look uninterested at all to me.
