And so it ends. Roberts wants to return to NSW with his family.

 

[yobbo84]

Officially signed with Souths now.

I know he's a ticking time bomb but the thought of him running onto Adam Reynolds kicks does excite me...time will tell I guess.

That's that then. Thank f**k Staggs exploded onto the scene so swiftly.

I loved watching James when he was in open space. Very few backline players can be that exciting to watch, but he didn't do it anywhere near enough as he should have.

A lot of people put that at the feet of the coaches not utilizing him correctly, but now given the nature of his departure, I am comfortable putting it down to his own attitude. As soon as Bennett leaves, he cracks the sads which reflects in his own field form, Seibold axes him, and instead of taking it on the chin and fighting his way back into the side, he doubles down on the cracked sads, takes it personally, gets the shits with Seibold and suddenly he's "homesick".

Thanks for your service to the club James, but all signs are pointing to you being exactly the sort of toxicity that this club can do without.

GI refund in full effect

So Souths lose/sign GI to their front office made up job, and an NRL made up job, get cap relief, and now sign another Origin player in Roberts

Nothing

You mean spending the weekend with a hooker in a hotel room and not answering anyone from the clubs phone calls isn’t in the $300kpa job description?

P.S no hate for GI, I’m just jealous I can’t get a gig like that

It is for our next Arizona trip

James is a ticking time bomb

We will inevitably regret this. But if it helps us get a Premiership this year I’ll pay it

I'm not sure if his one great attacking move every 6 games will make that much of a difference, and his defence is garbage at the best of times, but your side were premiership favorites before he arrived.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

He’ll be deregistered by the end of the year without the Broncos magic broom

Sounds like more cap relief coming Souths way then.

 

[yobbo84]

Has he ever played outside decent halves? Surely Walker and Reynolds would be the best he's played with?

 

[forby]

Souths have one hooker in their squad so can call up one from outside. They can then sign a representative centre to fill the squad. Sounds fair! Now they effectively have a 31

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Pfft. Jimmy the Jet doesn't sign contracts. He'll be off Souths cap. Still plenty of GI wriggle room to sign up some half decent talents.

 

[t-ba]

He's from f**king Ballina by way of Kempsey and he wants to move from Brisbane to f**king Sydney to be closer to his family?

ROFLMAO.

 

[bull rider]

He’s played outside one decent half, but never a pair. He’s going to go bananas at Souths with those two and cook

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Someone check on Darius. Bennett has barely been gone 6 months and he's already got a new adopted son.

And then let in the softest of trys down the other end

Can't be worse than our current right centre in that regard.
