Indeed. I was gutted when he left, watching him in the 20's you could see how good he was going to be he just destroyed sides. Not 1 bit surprised he's gone on to do it in 1st grade.

I wonder if he's waiting on Bennett's future

I'm gonna speculate and say that if Bennett goes we are a strong chance to get him. Wasn't that one of the big reasons he left in the first place? Didn't he want to play under Bennett?

Our middle isn’t that strong for 2019, if Tevita Pangai comes knocking on your door you do whatever the hell it takes to get him over the line, including dusting the old projector off if that’s what’s needed

Guys

DO NOT DO THIS TO YOURSELF.
TPJ aint comin'

Hope springs eternal, except when it's this and it's poison. Stop it, even if you even buy into it 5%, that's 5% too many.
Better with this club to expect absolutely nothing ever and be surprised once in a while, than to expect anything ever and be constantly disappointed.
TPJ if he leaves, will go to Newcastle.

Not only that, I doubt we have the cap room anyway.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

We should be pulling out all stops to get TPJ back... and if there's no room in the cap... let's get a TPA done!

And if we have no room left in the salary cap... given the players lost... it is one of the great mysteries of life. There must be some players on the books being paid well in excess of market value.

Piggy,
While i agree that history suggests we have less than buckleys chance of a hail mary on this one, just remember ARod, and watch him make it rain.

Isn’t the story that Ricky told TPJ he wouldn’t make it in first grade?
If so why would you come back to be coached by Stuart?

Bring the Charny boy back.

You can take the boy out of Charny...but then you need to bring him back.
