It’s not that we didn’t keep him, it’s who we signed as a priority before him. Signing some drug cheat blow in and then crying poor and not having the coin to retain players who’s talent doesn’t come from a syringe is the issue. You don’t sign a drug cheat who can’t even play months before you resign the talent you already have playing for you.
Saying "Avo got a deal [at all] at the Dolphins" means exactly the same thing.
I little bit hyperbolic there. No need to get hysterical Nancy.
No, no & no, he’s awesome & I’ll defend him until the cows come home!
The difference is Xerri would cost 300k max probably less as he's been out for so long. Averillo for 450k, maybe 500k to beat the Dolphins offer isn't worth it. Paying Averillo that much and having a surplus in the backline with so many forwards and a half needed would be bad cap management.
Don't think I'm the one getting hysterical..
It's called being classy. Would you rather Gus death rode him and tweeted out something bitter and unprofessional?
That’s exactly my point, signing drug cheats that haven’t played for 4 years and can’t even train in a club environment until November shouldn’t have been the priority months ago, retaining talent we have should have been. If we got to the point where that talent had walked and we were desperate for a centre then MAYBE the druggie could get a look in. It’s just absolutely insane that the highest priority centre option for next year was a guy currently serving a ban for juicing
No of course not but my question still stands.
Exactly . You can’t train speed .
Nah, too busy signing drug cheats and sounding out home invaders that 3 other clubs have moved on before the contract term is up.
Always makes me laugh when nobody's on forums call professional sportspeople soft. Despite what you may think of his ability and effectiveness, It's simply not possible to play at the highest level of a contact sport and be 'soft'.
