DSM5 link said:Why doesn't the club have an influence with Stevie? Surely he should be taking the off season to get his shoulder and other parts in order for 09. Just who pays the season's wages for this idiot? Williams? we'll have to see whether Des gets some mileage out of this big guy.
It's that attitude in soccer that makes life difficult for the intrernational game & makes players almost feel guilty for representing their countries.
I love the Sea Eagles, but I'll say the same as I did when we were on the bottom & other clubs were whining about the rep season. Stuff the clubs. If you want the best players then you have to deal with what that entails. If you don't like it then buy a bunch of no-hopers that wont bother you with rep footy.
For all sports the pinnacle is to be considered among the best in your country & to have a shot at being best in the world. I'd love to see a gridiron test series between the yanks & the Canadians for example. More rep footy, not less.
And before any suggestions come my way, the Manly GF win means 1000000 times more to me than the Roos winning the world cup. But it's not about me, or you, it's about the game itself.
