I think Mozer has some good examples of why not to go running off to other teams chasing a quick start. Olaupu is the prime example, moves to play prefered position quickly, plays there too early, gets moved to the position that we told him is his best position, again before his body is ready, does his neck and underwent radical surgery or face early retirement. I would argue the other example is Walker. He has been poorly managed by the Roosters in my opinion. They used him early and he...

With all due respect, why can't Baker roll his ankle instead...

Give him an inferior opponent, centres defending in centre and creativity outside of him and I believe we'll see a much more composed and measured game from Madden. We've trained for it for 2 season now... if...
