| Quote: RDM "You won't find anyone agreeing more than me that if is the biggest word in the English language & Friday's result was chip paper on Saturday. The future is all that really matters & the simple fact is that JD is not the future. Some have criticised the signing of Newton because "he's too old" but he's 3 years younger than JD.
If JD was with (say) the Bulls now - giving the sort of performance he's given for us over the years - and we were considering signing him for one last hurrah next year, there'd be no end of the posts criticising such a signing. In the era of the salary cap, there is simply no room for giving contracts for sentimental reasons. JD has been a fantastic servant to the club, but we need to have a squad in 2010 that is better than this year's and provides a sound foundation for the squad in 2011 & beyond. I'd love to see JD continuing to be involved with the club - just not as part of the playing staff.'" he is already signed for next year based on his ability . |

Fair enough Con. Can't say I entirely agree with it but if he's signed on the dotted line then that can't be changed (not as if little old me could influence that either  ).
I hope JD is able to play on at a high enough level that meets the fans & more importantly his own expectations because he's been a great servant to the club and he deserves to go out on a high. |

Someone else pointed out, Demetriou is not the type of man to kid himself if he feels his body unable to meet the physical demands of the game.
If he feels it’s time to call it a day then he will.

Well no one knows him better I suppose!
He seems a pretty level headed guy even though he has family ties in this respect. He never rants just because someone criticises his son so I think I will take heed of what he says over others.

i think he has another year in him.
he has played more games than most squad members this season and the vast majority of those at a very high level in a position he wasn't used to.

Stuck record but if he's staying another year I hope it's in the centres.

Don't think he ever really had speed but he has strength/power and it would be less physically demanding. |

Think JD has one more year left in him, but I would like to see him properly fit everyweek and not put his body on the line everyweek, if you've got a niggle rest it. He's still an important part of our side regarding breaks and leadership but he's got to realise how to increase his playing days.
Perhaps similar comparison could be giggs, changed posistion and now plays half of the game and is involved in the important matches when the coach can depend on him.

Ferguson has one major advantage over us - no salary cap. Can we afford to have someone who, hypothetically, can't play every game? |

Have you ever seen an eyeball hanging out of its broken socket and metal plates being inserted to hold said socket and eye together. NO THOUGHT NOT. Yes, rugby is a mans game but lets keep it clean. ![]()
I dont advocate crowd violence.
Never seen an eye hanging out of a sockett and pretty confident i never will when somebody is shoved in the face by someone holding a rugby ball.

| Quote: RDM "I think if you read my post properly you'll find that I said that JD "should have shown true leadership qualities and taken the tackle" - commenting on one incident rather in isolation rather than on his overall performance. I didn't actually criticise his overall leadership - which for once seemed to be there.
I'm perfectly happy to say that I think that JD is past it & I hope that we can see him go out on a high note this year because I don't think he's got another year at SL level in the tank.'"
If your perfectly happy to say that JD is past it then i hope you will be perfectly happy to look at how many points he has in the M.O.M. standings as voted for by the supporters. It seems perfectly clear that he is way ahead of most of his team mates. JD has plenty in the tank - plenty -he is a pros pro and rated very highly by a Mr Kear a man who knows more about RL than you and i and many others put together. |
