Yeah & took off when offered more money when the Superleague war started! Real legend!
Josh Aloiai re-signs until 2025
- Thread starter Mitch
- Start date
So by that logic what are your thoughts on Bob Fulton?

His punishment was not winning a premiership in 96. He’s still in my best manly pack though.

Absolutely tough as nails. Possibly my best ever 2nd rower. But playing the game the way he did, maybe some CTE showing.

Sure that nothing will alter either "s fairly passionate and stringent approach to the whole matter . Both stances can offer some valid justification though Josh maybe should be a bit more cognizant and accepting that his view is not the majority public view on this particular subject . No doubt the club has been encouraging Josh to let things go a bit and tone things down and he is certainly a long way from the local scene here at present in any case . Maybe best for both to just agree to disagree . .
If only Aloiai played half as tough and committed as Ian Roberts did. Less words, more action sorely needed from the opinionated yet average footballer...
he isnt natrually gifted with a props body
He was shot by the end of his time here and has offered to come back to talk to the 7

I just mean in general, i prefered the day's when Des would impose media bans.
What happened to doing the talking on the field. Social media often is a platform for stupidity. Not interested in the players views just what they are going to offer the club on the field. Footballers are well paid and should focus on earning their pay packet.
It is a different generation. Also by not posting reduces their potential 3rd party income
Clubs are better spent educating players (more than the initial stuff that they all do ) on how to use it properly rather than banning it
Oh my what a mess. It was a downward path when he first came out as a flat either way back when
It is a real challenge for all clubs on how they balance their "brand" with individuals "brand". I know in the EPL there is a clause in contracts over image rights and I wonder if this now extends to social media profiles.
From a marketing perspective if I was the club and one of the players built a "brand" / following off our work I would want some access to it.
Yep it's interesting and a mess. Right to free speech vs contractual obligation not to damage a brand.

But then there is the scenario where some sporting individual with real star power can not only benefit or gain a higher profile with their own self promotion or endorsements and in the process , gives a boost or benefit to their club 's overall status or public image and coffers . Third party deals in R L or other sports for an individual player seem quite acceptable and maybe not that much different from individual self promotion and enhancement but then indirectly again giving their club some positive outcomes as well
