Bad analogy. Jonah was irreplacable.
Its a big wide world of football.....
That sounds harsh on Stein and I certainly hope he stays.
Jonah was made to look good by the players around him. His attacking game was good and his defending was shit. Cullen and Umaga covered him every game for the Lions and the Hurricanes and for the ABs. His turning to run back and defend was like watching a bus turning around. Slow and cumbersome.
Agents are the sort of scum that really need to be weeded out of the game. Far too often they try snd hold a gun to the head of the clubs with various threats and Insinuations. Its a global problem. I think its time for players to man up and negotiate their own contracts. All this crap about wanting to concentrate soley on their football so they engage an agent to do the pays. If we all did that we'd not be employed.
Dude, that's completely ridiculous, if there were no agents how the hell would we ever get players from overseas to even think about coming to NZ?
Secondly, if you were earning big bucks and you had left school at 16 and only ever played football all your life would you trust yourself to negotiate on your own behalf?
