You're entitled to your opinion. I don't think the club has got the best out of Ramien. And I don't think they should be giving up on a quality player on a cheap contract.
What price he shows his Sharks form at a new club?

Perhaps he saw Kurt Mann keep his spot after being diabolically bad the last two weeks and was unhappy with the inconsistency?

100%.

Player drops ball. Get rid of him.

Player can't tackle for 6 seasons in a row. Never gets dropped because he is a good bloke. And got top dollar too!

Similar to Herman at start of the season. Not in firsts because of his defence. Yet others are not treated the same way even though their defence is shit.

Somewhat confusing.

Just call it as it is. If Ramien has not settled in, is not liked among the group, his heart isn't in it, then say it.

I'm unaware the effort has not been there from Ramien behind the scenes, training etc. Form is down no doubt.

No worse than Gagai's horrendous, insepid efforts over years at the club.

Great he is a good bloke, but he should have been dropped multiple times when he was here.

Brown may have left it a tad too late to start putting the cranky pants on.

Let's hope they pull their fingers out after today and finally get with the program because if they don't, this club is looking like a Titanesque show.
It's a bit incredible to me that you bring up Gagai in this context. How many years do you plan on digging him up?

Regardless, they were different moments in time at the club. The squad is at a point now where we have some seniority in there and some blokes that actually do perform week in, week out. The desperation of the club then and now are miles apart.

And we've been a bigger joke than the Titans for years. At least the Titans have valid excuses.

I agree with most written above but surely he should stay, play reserves and if he shows form then back in firsts to show potential new club what he has. If Moga or Hunt go down then we are in strife when/if we make the semi’s and we are paying him to sit out. At worst he turns up for training and sits on the bench for reserves.

Do you have a suggested length of time that one can refer to the epitome of a poor NRL centre who was at this club for years, never dropped and on top dollar in comparison to a poor centre who has been at the club on modest $$$ for 5 minutes and moved on?

Whats your point? Brown let Gagai go as well.

We offered Gagai huge money to stay knowing he was not up to standard.

Never dropped after countless poor performances.

See post above re Herman too.

Toohey is including Griffin as possibly not being with the club next year.
I'd like to see him get a chance but the signing of another hooker is a good indication he might not.

Gagai was not NRL standard. The worst defensive centre in the comp who didn't score tries and on top money. That is a dud.

His effort when defending for our side was appalling.


But a good bloke.

He’s been gone for 2 f**king years. Get over it.

Gagai never lived up to his price tag for us but he outperformed ramien quite easily. I am the opposite of a Gagai fan but at this point Ramien has been a total dud compared to him.

Matty Johns mentioned on his show that he was in the sheds before Lady Gagaga’s last game for the Knights.
He was crying like a baby.
I think Lady Gagaga was upset because he won’t be getting the big dollars anymore.

If it upsets you then I'll keep going.

Double standards at this club too often.
So what did you want Brown to do? Ramien has been shit, got dropped, threatened to walk and Brown called his bluff.

What’s a better solution?

Good on him.

Does that mean the next player who kicks stones is out the door though?

If Pearce continues to play like shit for the next 3 weeks while on a million dollars and is dropped and has the shits about it ... he'll be turfed?

Brown is now in a very precarious position, especially if the team misses the finals.

Pearce's form has been hot and cold. If he doesn't fire the last weeks of the comp, when the club's season is on the line and as our captain and highest paid player, will Brown treat him the same way?

We have so much to talk about Woosh.

You seem to have been absent since origin.

Lots to go over. Check the origin threads you have been avoiding big boy.

Hopefully Brown is a bit like my old man.
Go through as many as hookers while you’re still young but eventually you find one that’s worth keeping hehhehehe
