Depends on your definition I guess. But IMO a player that has consistently been excellent for us, unanimously loved by players & fans, & stayed with us despite better offers & opportunities is a club great.
Sorry but last year he bombed nearly all is tries, or atleast they weren't meant to be, not all on him, but seriously we can't hold the door for him, every chance staines had this year, he scored off, i witnessed sauce at suncorp, magic round last year, not only was he so under confident, he was abysmal, not to 1st grade standard, this year is a 180, BUT!!! you give MWZ the same games/chances Sauce had this year with Critta, Kiks & Luai on that edge, i dare say he might have been just as good, or atleast improved, now we can't be carrying sauce again next year, not when Staines or Lauire should at least get a shot, this is a wing position, not halfback, or hooker, if sauce can help the reserve graders train and prepare for years beyond then thats his role, he might be contracted, but no one specifically tells you it has to be 1st grade that you're playing, A great example this year is Whare, i don't doubt he has been overlooked for Critta and Nado, but he captained the Nines team and is still helping the team, regardless of getting any 1st grade games, Mansour even being emotionally torn and passionate, basically disrespected the club by putting that media crap out there, i don't see Benji Marshall kicking up a stink, or James Tamou, Dean Whare, there's heaps of players that get the tap on the shoulder, but at least they don't kick stones and ruin what legacy they had with the club, or vice versa.
Josh ManSauce= Dumb.
i hope he goes to parra, join RCG as they whinge about not getting a start in 1st grade into the sunset...
Seriously this year was his swansong.. yes they didn't win, but they picked josh as the 1st choice winger, repeatedly, i personally would have had Nado and To'o on the wings, this team carried him
