It is reported that Cory Paterson is to quit the NRL and WT and pursue a career in boxing.It has been mentioned before about Coreys fight with depression hopefully his boxing can bring him some success and personal satisfaction while not making the sport a farce like Anthony Mundine has !

I love a positive post.

Stop being so f**ken depressing. I can see this all being turned around. It is a shitter of a year but next year may be different.

We have some great young talent. Woods, Moses, Brooks, Tedesco, Nofo, possibly Sirro. There will be more coming through as well.

We did really well at the start of the year. Players like Taupau and Ava really stood up.

We aren't that far off. If we get some luck with injuries and some more players come through and the players mentioned above kick on things can turn around.

We have to ask ourselves why? Why can't we attract quality recruits?
If we didn't develop players we would be screwed. All we need is a experienced forward.
Watmough would be great just for the leadership in the forwards. Ah well one can dream.

Just thinking this through we recently signed an experienced top shelf backrower from Melbourne. Maybe we can sign those types of players.

Recently? Really?

We got him and that proves the crying that we can't buy players is bullshit. If we offer enough in the right circumstances they will come. Its a non issue.

The issue is paying the right amount for the right players and recruiting the right players. Richards is an example of recruiting the wrong player that we need. Austin is the exact opposite.

I remember a journalist describing a young Joe Bugner as being 'built like a roman statue and moving like one too 'regarding his boxing ability,the same could be said for Lawrence....lol
