    the interesting part is i havent heard a peep out of the man himself, even though according to some he is selfish and ready to talk about himself non stop.

    perhaps he is working hard to get back in the team.
    Talking to the media was what got him into trouble in the very first place.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

        Yes it was. It wasn't this year he was banished for "talking out of school". It was last year (or even the year before - I can't remember anymore) he's still being "punished".

          It was 2006 and that seems an unlikely explanation.
          Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

              That's rubbish. Roos has clearly stated the reasons why he's not in the team and talking to the media is not one of them.

                Really hard to figure out. During the run up to a critical season defining clash with a team that has had the wood on us, Roosey is fielding questions about Nick Davis (who else) planted in the media by his manager. So a reserve grader who is on 12 month contract grabs the headlines in the run up to a blockbust clash. This is out of the Rugby League textbook How to Screw Up A Great Game By A Thickhead authored by Lance, Willy and the boys. Not only does the club not need this nonsense but the code doesn't. If you would like some inside information on Thommo give Brownie the coach of St George RLFC a bell.

                    next you will be blaming Nick and Lance for global warming!

                      That's the way I saw it too...and as his confidence waned he became the opportunist who wasn't taking his opportunities

                        Well gee I'd like to see how any of us would go if we were continually told we wern't good enough and were being thrown back into reserves for a designated time - no other player cops that crap (even though some deserve to) Davis then has the coach and leadership group members get on the teve and in the papers - say what ever they like about him and Davis is not permitted to defend himself with a reply - yeah thats really fair.
