But an expected failure is not as noticeable.
true.
lane went ok after we signed him from manly
true. I forgot Lane came from there too. He wasn't a failure.
Mmmmmmm guess that's what happens when you spit the dummy like that., and demand to speak to other clubs/demand a release. Other clubs are not interested in players becoming spoilt brats in public.
Probably a very lucky man he has a coach that wanted him in the first place and extended his contract.
Perhaps it's time for him to really put in and demand a spot via overwhelming form and attitude, not just a belief of entitlement. Some form worthy of highlight reels wouldn't go astray.
If he dosnt pull his finger out soon , a permanent position as a backup is all he'll be unfortunately.
Three things I like about this Bluey:
1. JR/Club is giving Simmo another chance. Mature. Adaptable.
2. Simmo has a chance at redemption. Being better. Kaizen.
3. It's a good example of authenticity & alignment. The club wasn't afraid to let him go if he wasn't really on the Ryles bus, despite having multiple years left on his contract.
my biggest concern is that he is staying as he had no other suitors. Tail between the legs returning to his contract.
next i'm worried that once predisposed to feeling entitled, and feeling he was playing well enough for a 1st grade spot, what changes and how does he overcome that, when not selected first again.
next, is he all in, easy words i h harder to put in practise when you feel hard done by.
do we end up with a player, disgruntled , only here to pick up his paycheck for the next 2 / 3 years, or has he retuned a changed, possessed man to do all he can to be a regular first grader in a team bound to finals footy.
Bluey, you're probably right and he didn’t get the offers, or hostage freight, he or Team Orr expected. Humble pie? That’s life. Fall down seven times, get up eight times.
He showed real gutso after injury, even if the dummy spit was a red flag. Now he just needs to focus on what’s ahead and be his best.
I doubt Ryles or the club will hold grudges. Just my two cents. But I could be wrong.
To me it appears they held a grudge against Matto for not putting in and or not leaving when asked. Sort of felt the same with Carty and to a degree Lane. Lane did finally leave the roster after being given a newly created job in the front office though.
Matto couldnt find other suitors either, and the club came out on the back of it saying all is well "Matterson is staying". A bit like the "coach has the boards support" type of statement, and we know how that ends.
Hope I'm wrong and your right HOE.
To me we appear to still be trying to rid our roster of the wrong attitude types, the left overs from a previous entitled era. With a small thing called valid contract getting in the way.
Bluey, Yes. Ryles seems to value "put in". Even after challenges on the bus.
But he's not the Dalai Lama. Who wouldn't be temporarily peeved off, disappointed, if Tarzans play like Janes chewing up plenty on the cap?
Even Matt Cameron admitted he gets pissed off for a day after getting told by players they are moving on to greener pastures and bigger pay packets.
Lane admitted he was cooked with almost two years to go on his contract. He not only has a role in our club, but is using our jersey and logo to promote his own private business. Any grudges there a problem? Meanwhile, Matto seems somewhere else. Romance. Food. Hot bods. Travelling the high life. All the best to him.
Simmo showed gutso when he came back from injury. Seems willing to put in. Time will tell. If he isn't, he'll be dropped too.
