    What a class act

    He still has nothing but love for the Roosters.

    A champion human being and a pretty good footy player as well.

    The link doesnt appear.to work from my phone. I saw a story about Maloney posted to a facebook group i am a member of. I will endeavour to upload the link if it is dodgy from my laptop later today.

    Here is the text from the story


    James Maloney could be forgiven for driving through Bondi with ‘Up Up Cronulla’ blaring whilst dangling his NRL premiership ring out the window.


    But the Cronulla playmaker insists he has nothing but love for the club that cut him adrift at the end of the 2015 season.

    Unwanted by the Tricolours, who instead saw Manly-bound Jackson Hastings as the future, Maloney enjoyed the best season of his career at both club and representative level.

    The 30-year-old was instrumental in the Sharks’ maiden NRL premiership, won back his Blues jumper and earned his first Test cap for Australia.
    2016 didn’t go so well for the Chooks, who finished second last after a disastrous campaign that was doomed from the moment Mitchell Pearce’s infamous Australia Day video surfaced.
    But don’t expect to hear Maloney say ‘suck eggs’ to the Roosters anytime soon.
    “I don’t hold a grudge against the Roosters,” Maloney told The Daily Telegraph.
    “I love the place, I loved my time. I keep in touch with everyone there. I see (chairman) Nick (Politis) around and a lot of board members, I run into them a lot. There are no hard feelings.
    “I don’t look back and think ‘sucked in you’re going bad, you let me go’.
    “It’s not like that. I didn’t need justification that ‘oh they should’ve kept me’.
    “It is what it is … I don’t have any bad feelings towards them. I love the joint.”

    Which makes the decision to let him go ultimately worse. Not to say that him staying would have dramatically improved our season, but that the grubby bogan sharks would not have won the premiership.

      it will go down as one of the biggest fark ups in our clubs history. One went and played rep footy and won a comp meanwhile the other was dropped to u20s and given the boot only a year later....

        I feel it's kinda mutual and we both got what we wanted out of each other.

        Maloney was great and (who knows) could be playing for another 5 years. However, I question whether we'd ow have Keary, Watson and Nikorima if we'd kept him.

        Yet to see Keary play for us (or show him proper respect because I was biased against him when he was a Souffs man). Now I'm starting to believe he could be a really deadly weapon since he's only 24, has been earmarked for Origin and hates Souffs with a passion.

        With every loss comes opportunity. I was sad when Maloney was let go because he's such a character. Like Sonny Bill, I think I can respect him as a player and a character no matter where he plays. Simultaneously I can love our team and focus on the positives that Keary brings to our club (more than likely some compelling features that Maloney wouldn't have brought - can't wait to see him play some footy).

        Honestly... if we'd kept him for another 3 years then who knows what woulda happened? Sharks coulda still won the comp without him, and I find it doubtful that we woulda gona much better (no disrespect to Maloney, but I reckonat best we woulda won 2 or 3 more games and maybe come 12th or something).

        IMO the 2013 era is over and we're re-building. By losing Maloney we were able to keep Cords, JWH, Friend, Pearce, SKD, Fergo, SST, [Guerra & Toops] and a few other mainstays. Meanwhile we've trained up Latrell, Manu and Watson... who will play a LOT of NRL in years to come.

        Like it or not, Maloney woulda wanted $600-$800k a year for a minimum 3 years. Hastings wanted maybe 1/3 of that, so it wasn't really a '1 for the other' trade on the books. It was... 'we can't afford one'.

          Time to get over Maloney kiddies. Yes it was a mistake to let him go. But the point has been well made. No point in continuing to crap on about it over 12 months later.

              Hard to say we couldn't have afforded him. We put in a significant offer for rts, lost him and didn't sign anyone else. We then lost Jennings and signed Copley. I don't know where the money went. We also lost about 5 games on goal kicking alone let alone the leadership void we suffered at the club. Hopefully keary turns out to be a leader and takes the pressure off Pearce. I'm also really looking forward to seeing him play.

                People moaning about Maloney forget how often he puts the cue in the rack after his first season at a new club...

                  Better than keeping some of the players in our team who don't actually take the cue out.

                      Wtf? He made a grand final in his second season at the Warriors, was still pretty good in his second and third seasons at the Roosters, granted not at the level of his first.
                      ...

                        You seem to have a comprehension problem as that didn't seem to be the point of the post. Anyway my mail is Maloney will return to the club when his playing days are over.
                        ...

                          That's in the grand final for the dumbest comment I have seen on this forum this year.

                          Maloney played his best season at the warriors in his second season there.

                          He was not as consistent in 14 and 15 but you couldnt accuse him of not trying and he played most of 2014 with a bung shoulder.

                            Where do you get this mail from? Australia post or from Turk.
                            Is he returning as a supporter or will he be working at the leagues club as the doorman.

                              Gee you sound pretty scary with those big grown up swear words. Why don't you run along and see if you can rustle up some more of those rumours from your mates on the board ahahaha
