Agree with all points except the falling out with Mary part.Cussy
He was only part time for many years.
He was offered a good job in the super league.
He sould have had a run in the nrl but Mary and him had a fallout.
So was never going to get a run.
He was a good player in the NSW cup for a number of years.
I think in 2016 he won player of the year.
I can tell you straight from his mouth that he and Mary didnt have a falling out.
Mary wasnt a fan of Wakemans style, and Wakeman knew that, there was no blow up or falling out.
It seems MAry wasnt the only one, all other 15 coaches and recruitment men didnt see his style as that of a solid consistent first grader.
Being a good player in the NSW cup doesnt mean a player will make it in first grade.
I seen alot of cutters games, And performances like we see on Wakemans highlight reel were far and few between.
One good solid damaging hard run every 3 or so games. Not good enough for first grade.
I seen a few sharks games last week on fox, normally wont waste my time, but i wanted to see Latimore and how he goes, i gotta say, he is no Vaughan but ill tell you what, he does run hard, bends the defensive line constantly, and takes two or 3 defenders each hit up.
We could do a lot worse then Latimore let me tell you.
