Yeah depending on the outcome of the milford circus this certainly sounds very likely.

If Hoffman and Milford are forced to stay at their respective clubs, at least it makes the Dogs look compassionate and Brisbane and Canberra look like bastards just for forcing players to hold up their contracts.
Or makes us look soft and a club where you can easily break a contract anytime you get a better offer elsewhere.

I don't think it's as bad as that, we are building a culture of a team where everyone wants to be there (dare I say like Manly). Who knows if Brisbane force Hoffman to stay what effect that will have on them over the year? especially with his old man having a go at Hodges for his shit call about his son.

Wouldn't be surprised if the donkeys held onto Hoffman until mid season next year just out of spite!

Hoffman has heart in buckets unlike our last waste of oxygen, he wouldn't allow himself to fail if kept at the donkeys and thats why I like him. Something we need at our club!

But the Bulldogs didn't want Barba, where the Raiders wanted to keep Milford and Broncos wanted to keep Hoffman.

No they will keep him for the entire season. He has had 3 years to cement the FB spot & hasn't done so.
Hope they put him on the wing, just to p!ss him off. hehe

Interesting article.
Interesting article.
Hoffman can deny it all he likes on twitter but it is fairly obvious he has asked for a release. First there was talk from his manager that he was not happy, than hoffman himself said he would sort his future out when he returns from the WC. If he hadn't asked for a release, what is there really for him to sort out? Although he just palms off all of pritchard's photos with him and only bulldog players in it and says he didn't post them, does anyone really think pritchard would do that to him without his blessing? Brisbane can deny it all they like, hoffman wants out and he wants to be a bulldog.

His manager asked for a release the day the Broncos signed Ben Barba. The Broncos said NO.
Hoffman has been out of favour at the Broncos for about a year for comments he made.

He compounded that with some brutal honesty about the imminent arrival of Stephen Kearney as an assistant coach that ruffled feathers at Red Hill.
"We weren't really putting in (at the end of last season)," Hoffman said at the time. "We weren't looking each other in the eye and being honest about our efforts. I know myself, I wasn't digging in like I could have.
"I think he (Kearney) will really help bring the team closer."
Do you really think it was compassionate grounds by the bulldogs? If it was compassion we would of released him a lot earlier and for purpose of media relations we say it was compassion, what I believe rightly or wrongly is Barba couldn't handle the heights of stardom, he thought he was bigger then the club and the game, could no longer demand respect from all teammates and couldn't handle the disappointment of grandfinal defeat and for the combination of these factors it was his performance.
