Half of those you mentioned went downhill after they left us. They werent able to keep their "status name which they had at the bulldogs". Refering mainly to myles, mason and o'meley. Asotasi still tries, but he is playing in a team of brainless players.

I would hate to have both the Morris boys in our team. Ball Hogging would be evident in every game.

On a VERY massive good note, I congratule him for having the balls to sign the contract he wanted and not d!ck us around. He wanted that TV Show deal GC had for him and good luck to him

He could have re-signed with us cause he felt he owed us, then regretted it a year later

Now we know where we stand, we have time to sign accordingly and TBH I still <3 the bloke ... he made the call that was right for him and good luck to him !!!

What I am hearing is that he would be on something close to $575K with the TV deal and third party endorsments....

Give me a centre in the mould of Morris anyday over an Idris...

this news is not upsetting at all, I wont be suprised if this turns out to be good news for the club if it means we can secure a tough prop like Graham

Lafai has also proven himself as a capable replacment for Idris...

Not fussed he is leaving at all, good luck to him for getting 400K per year

Could not have said it better. El Masri is and always will be a Legend of the game. In an age where loyalty is meaningless, he showed us Dogs fans that he was there.

Why should we be so concerned with loyalty in today's game. With the sort of money being offered and the Gold Coast lifestyle, it's pretty logical to take their offer.

He waited till the end of his contract and picked the offer that suits him the most. Good on him for trying to secure his financial future and the lifestyle he wants.

We'd all love for players to be 'loyal', but why should they be if they are given the chance to make more money and live the lifestyle they want.

Good luck to Jamal. I've said it before, not worth $400k at the dogs but if someone else wants to offer him the $$$ he wants, good luck to him.

Most of us in his position would have done the same. I would.

Meh, ah well, cya big fella.

He should be used on the bench as an interchange forward for the rest of this season and let lafai stay in the centres.
