Moondog said:I doubt Lussick will be attracting the same offers as Hoppa, not having played rep. footy or many first grade games. Hoppa may well have stayed with us if the decision was solely his. I feel he was put under pressure to go with the big money offer. If a premiership means anything to Lussick he'll realize his best chance is to stay where he is.Masked Eagle said:Moondog said:I think we have more than a hope. We'd have to be favourites to keep him. Being a local product should work in our favour.
Just like it did with Hoppa? I hope we keep him, but he is going to be offered some serious cash to leave and we probably aren't going to be in the ball park.
Lets hope so. I don't think we have to match the offers, we just have to get in the same ballpark and then show him a future where he will be on the big money in a few years time when guys like Kingy & Kite leave. Tell him he'll be a leader and groom him for that responsibility and hopefully that's enough.
