Has a player been sacked for being hopeless?

[carcharias]

Coaches can
Everyone else in a job can
Not dropped or told to look around...
Just sacked for being shit at footy.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

I'm sure there have been in the lower grades. You would never see such a thing at NRL level.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Mitchell Moses was released after being deliberately hopeless.

 

[Pommy]

Not quite as straight forward as you make out, coaches tend to get paid out.
With a salary cap if you have to pay the player out you might as well have them in the squad just in case.

Define sacked?

Sacked as in contract torn up or sacked as in dropped from firsts?

 

[some11]

Depends if they're injured or not.

Cartwright and Latu have been great signings for the Titans.

Sacked for being repeatedy shit.

Maybe you were once good but now you suck.

Just ...thanks mate
Here’s your money now f**k off.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Ask a politician.

Oh wait.....

 

[Whino]

What about the NFL player that played with the Knights?
Greg Smith played 1 game. He was shit and quickly moved on.

Stewart Mills?

Good for 1 game, shite the rest of them?

 

[muzby]

Can we sack this thread?

 

[carcharias]

[muzby]

We can now.

Excellent..

They get contract to play not contracts to play good and stuff.

Just because someone develops dick fingers doesn't mean they aren't meeting the terms of their agreement.

It’s actually a legitimate question.
Plenty of sportspeople lose their nerve and just start sucking at their sport.

Plenty of those are footy players too.

I actually think he hung around for 2 years in reggies, and may have did ok

 

[Vic Mackey]

remeber when themanonthehill said the tigers had grounds to release John Morris from his contract? he signed to play halfback however they would be able to prove in a court of law that he didnt have the capabilites to that, so he had effectivley lied to get the job. good times

 

[kdalymc]

What happens when you get released?
There’s many players who sign, then play a game or two if any, are f**ken shit, or they muck up/get home sick and then they are released. Surely you don’t get ya cheque and go yewwwww

Themanonthehill's best moment was writing Manly off as a one trick kick pony in 2008. Think we smashed the Tiggers by about thirty the next weekend with all tries through the hands and then took a shit on Melbourne in the GF a fee months later

They were good times.
The knowledge that there would inevitably be a MOTH rant waiting on LU would always help ease the pain of yet another regrettable performance.
