The Clean Out 2025 Edition

Jazz to start at 13, Bully and Tak starting props, Jake and Brown/Spiley rotation. Hoppa fullback and Turbo 14 to add spark. Read Mahoney next year to start at hooker with Crocker off the bench to play second hooker and middle of needed.

After watching that performance from Cherry, I also want him out.

What happened to giving his all for the club and his teammates for his final hurrah?

Whether he likes it or not, he is the captain of this club. And he was completely disinterested and disconnected out there.
Perhaps the question we should be asking is why. This guy has done it all. Has put in for numerous coaches and has always busted his arse for the club.
Why has it all unravelled so quikly? Mestrov? Seibold?
I very much doubt its just about money. He could have gone at any point in the last 3 years when he was playing much better.
Im sure most of you will say it's the cash but it doesn't fit right. Something doesn't add up and it's a real shame.
And to put it into perspective you could drop Cleary into this side and he would struggle at the moment. Something stinks and it feels like it's just beginning of something bigger.

Yes, it does feel like there is further unravelling to come, but everyone seems like they have deer in the headlights syndrome and are seemingly powerless to avert course. Someone needs to do something or we are wooden spoon certs.

Yeah, I doubt it's just about one thing as well. I don't know any more than anyone else and can only speculate. But he's clearly unhappy and it's affecting the team.

Watching the press conference after the game last night, I actually felt sorry for him, even though I believe the situation he finds himself in is largely of his own making. He looks confused, and out of ideas - and that's sitting next to Seibold, who on top of looking confused and out of ideas also looks like a man beginning to realise that his one shot at rugby league redemption is quickly slipping away.

Cherry has lost his Origin spot, lost the Queensland captaincy, his Manly team is hopeless, and his form is terrible. And then he has to answer questions about reports the Roosters have lost interest, probably because he's playing like reheated arse.

This year could have gone so very differently. But he invited the circus to town, and now he's getting trampled by the elephants.
