Foran

[clontaago]

I dont ever recall anyone (club or media) saying Trent had been signed.

 

[The Wheel]

I think it was reported that Trent preference was to stay but that may have been prior to a $800k offer

 

[Matabele]

It's like a cricular argument.  The vibe from the club was that he was locked up, now because of a lack of signature we have a scenario where a club is trumping our offer.  It reminds me of the Cuthbertson scenario in 2007.  We could have locked him up for a pittance and then the Ch9 commentators got hold of him. 

 

[The Wheel]

It is amazing that Cronulla feel for that Ch  9/Phil Gould hipe two years later........

 

[Matabele]

The Wombat.  Yep, evidently.

Any chance Foran is delaying the signature until Hokkos contract is sorted?


Its not inconceivable that certainty in the halves pairing could be an issue. Four years is a long time and halves combinations can be very hit or miss.

There is every chance this is the case. Add to that the fact we have an aging fwd pack as well, with no youngsters other than Bhurer, in the mix.
All of these 'future' components would be considered before signing on the dotted line.

I would have thought it would be in this kind of order:
- is Manly the club I want to be with?
- is the coach someone I will learn from?
- by staying here will I enhance or hurt my career?
- how does the offer stack up against others?

then -
- do I like my team-mates and will they help me in my career?
- will future recruitment give me better or worse opportunities

Foran is a gun.

 

[Matabele]

You'd think any sane fellow will take the 6" Peninsula beauties over the scrubbers and bush pigs found out west. 

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

that has got to be a typo  ...  :-\

 

[Bradza]

Hey Cletus, I was at that pub too. It was a very summery dress for a cool Autumn day wasn't it?!

I couldn't detect any issues with his hammy as he made his way from the bistro to the bar and out to the beer garden but then it was hard to keep my eye on everything. :-X

Would have offerred him a pen to sign the contract with but I didn't have one on me damn it.

 

[Bradza]

By the way WAMF - congratulations on your applaude to smite ratio. Impressive impact in a short timespan! You'll have to work hard to keep that up.
