Why not??? I'm pretty sure. Which is still 85% more of a chance than you ever saying anything correct.
Semi and Hazem were charged with assault (and each later cleared).....not just 'accused'. The Barba thing was played out in the media because people involved kept sending crap to the Murdoch press. There has been no suggestion that assault charges have been laid in the Broncs case. People have read a lot into the reference that there is a matter before the courts.....that does not mean that anyone is contemplating an assault charge.
Well, I don't have to perform at my very best, week in, week out, whilst carrying injuries, just to ensure that I'll still have a job next year or the year after. I also don't have to deal with the expectations and criticisms of fans and media. Nor am I constantly under the microscope and having to watch what I do and say for fear of being publicly crucified. And, at the end of the day, my career has lasted more than just a few years. I think there's a fair bit of pressure on young NRL players.
Perhaps Gower has a family to support; he's not on star money, his career won't go on forever, and if he doesn't play out of his skin every week, chances are he won't earn much money for much longer. I reckon that would be a lot of pressure right there.
Some say roosters have all these stars and no depth while we are the opposite. We sure do have depth but stars? They have Cronk,Cordner,Tedesco. Just off them are JWH and Ferguson who are sort of stars. Along with Latrell Mitchell who could be anything. The eels have J.Hayne, Moses and Norman. With Jennings,Brown,Manu, Along with Gutherson and Bevan who could also be anything. Fact is if Norman or Moses played for the storm they'd have looked better also. Tedesco or Gutherson. Well if the king gets back to last seasons form thats a toss up right there. Jennings is superior to Ferguson. People are getting a little carried away with the roosters squad. The forwards lost many battles last season. Cordner has injury concerns and I am unsure if JWHZ best footy is past. I do not like there squad as much as the bookies.
The Roosters in games of one score. Less then 6 points. 14 in total. They won 12 of those. That is a stat I doubt we will see often. It shows they battled hard and none where convincing wins. They also struggled to best the titans and tigers towards end of season along with Souths. If they lost cordner or JWH for an extended time I dont even see them playing finals.
