Robbo knew better than Bellamy trying to turn a bench hooker into a starter. Robbo knew better than Cleary trying to turn a bench prop into a starter. Still not as bad as trying to turn Angus into the best centre in the world. I wouldn't be blaming the players for someone else's pipedream.

I know it's not over yet but keep in kind he is out for most of next season with a double knee injury and short of him coming back for 10 games and leading us to a premiership, he has gotta go down as one of the biggest disappointments in our great history.
I say this as someone who likes Brandon as a player and seems a decent person.

I'll be very surprised if Cows let Robson go however if he does want to come back to Sydney I'd happily have him. Absolute gun. Would be chasing a similar sized contract to what the Cheese is reportedly on ($850K), potentially more.
Other lower value players id be keeping an eye on is Jayden Brailey & Brendan Hands.
If Brailey has all his bad injury luck out of the way and can string games together, signing him on $400-$500K would we worth a shot. Brendan Hands wouldn't command any more than that and from the glimpses I've seen of him he looks classy.

It will all come down to how well he performs when he returns.
It's up to him.

Cheese must know that his market value has dropped significantly. Unless we can get someone like Soni Luke, then I am expecting Cheese to take a pay cut and stay.

A Chance to go with the youth and have them primed to shine and hungry for success.
A stack of those Penrith players when they came into NRL were not on big money, but over time via contract extensions, they are reaping the financial rewards of their hard work.
Dylan Edwards, for example: on 200k or thereabouts, then went to 450k and now 850k.
Whereas Walsh jumps from 450k a season to a 4-year, $1.250 million a season contract—is he going to work hard on his game prep and on match day when on such money?
Already making big money, so what's his incentive now—very much risk and reward with players on such big money.
Jason Taumalolo, for example, has not been the same player he was after signing his 10-year, one million-a-season contract.
Need to dangle that carrot ($$$$) in front of players so they work for it instead of giving it to them on a platter and not having to work for it.

Mitch Aubbo really looking to put his stamp on the club. First Terrell and now Cheese, looks like we are clearing players that don't fit the 'Roosters image' whatever thatb may be.
