The embarrassment of playing for the Dogs got too much for the big fella

If Josh Schuster dropped out of the game and applied himself he could rival Joey Chestnut.

Food for thought...

If he can drop his opponent like he drops the ball most weeks, the sky is the limit.

I guess TPJ decided getting punched in the head is better than playing for the Bulldogs.

2 Canberra greats retire in the same week.

We broke him.

Brad Fittler picked this guy for NSW in game 1 this year. Even more egg on left-field Fitler's face.

He gets tired after 5 minutes of footy so he’ll definitely have the cardio to be a professional boxer.

Sounds like another SBW situation coming up

SBW in one ear, Mundine in the other... this bloke is going places... well places better than Belmore.

Difference is dogs desperately wanted to keep SBW, pretty sure Gus and Ciraldo would personally drive TPJ to the airport if he wanted a release

But he prepares so well apparently

Box for 6 months. Sell used cars at City Ford over the off season. Roosters squad for round 1.

Is there a betting market for this?
