Willis Meehan released

[Catch_20_2]

Club has just announced Willis Meehan has been released to concentrate on his boxing career. Very disappointing at this stage of the off season. Really hurts our depth at prop with Lussick out injured. Along with Wright's injury today, hopefully there will be some good news coming soon.

Coach Barrett's reaction ....

Not official yet
Just got the news from the members zone.
Terrible timing
Already with our injuries this season has not even begun and we are on the back foot

 

[Ben]

Wow thats such a shame! The club really had high expectations of him. Hopefully keeps in good ties with the club.

 

[Frogz]

Watch the door on the way out, no need for losers anymore. Shape up or get out.
As for depth, he has only played 1 NRL game before he got punted for belting someone. There are hundreds like him around.

 

[Pepi]

He was never going to stay for the long haul and his interest has always been with boxing.

 

[HoldenV8]

I wonder if it has anything to do with the NRL not registering his contract? No point keeping someone on the books if the league won't let them play.

 

[1969]

He's obviously not good enough. With his background, maybe it's a blessing in disguise.

 

[Nuts]

Front row stocks already looking thin. Myles and Lawrence to be the starting props, Perrett & AFB off the bench. After that stocks run dry for the start of the season.

I wonder if they still would have released Knight if they knew Meehan wasn't going to work out ?

I'm sure there is plenty of back up beef in Blacktown, I wouldn't panic just yet.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Depending on the Matai/Snake contract resolutions, maybe a pommy bloodnut IS on the horizon.....

Shame about Meehan. Had massive wraps, but if either the NRL would not register him or he just was not interested, then stuff him and on with the show!

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[pjayz]

That's a bit poo

Jake and Kapow can also play prop and is arguably their most suited positions.

Big cat has let down every manly fan .. Boxing career my arse wants to play with the featherless chooks ..

 

[Bearfax]

So if it is NRL initiated, where does that leave Jamil Hoppa?

 

[tookey]

First Lussick then Wright and now meehan

Who is next? Myles.

If he goes then we are really stuffed

 

[HoldenV8]

Agreed @Bearfax . I think there is more to Meehan's release than he just wants to go back to boxing.

 

[Loobs]

Probably found it too hard getting into NRL shape.

Totally agree would love to see that.
