Yeah the cap, more like Hasler re-signing dead wood and relseasing young talent then changing his mind a yr later. It could have been Tapau for Frank and Finucane for Eastwood.
Cant expect every junior to hit the floor running, Jacko and Finucane had the worst hands when they started and Tapau was injury prone, look at those kids now!
Always wondered who is the bloke with his arms around reynolds?Found this awesome pic on twitter from tonight
Yeh you are probably right, but I think it might be more that Des is working the new blokes in gradually. Maybe (barring injuries) by the end of the season you will see RFM having a regular bench spot and Eastwood or one of the older blokes drifting back to Cup games. Elliott had a lot of bench time last year before becoming a regular this year. That seems to be Des' play.
Except that if we had kept Finucane we wouldn't have probably had either of Elliott or RFM as he would have sucked up the cap. Swings and roundabouts unfortunately
We have an over paid Number 7 running around because the club panicked and everyone on the kennel shouted sign him up he has potential!!! Break out games mean very little if they can't be replicated constantly. Patience if the kids good enough he'll get his contract .
His name is Sean White his dad Lloyd was a club legend who dies last year and Sean has always helped in the chnage rooms. Here's an article from last year when Lloyd died.
Sean White, one of the best clubmen around, he has been in our dressing rooms since he was born and is literally the definition of a Bulldog.
Yeah I mean the kid has been going pretty well of late but people just need to settle down a bit lol.
Nobody is saying throw the bank at him.. if they signed him earlier on a fair wage he would have been happy. Now other clubs would be enquiring and the dogs would have to spend more or even lose him if another club comes with a stupid offer.
If eastwood was let go and finucane kept it probably wouldnt have changed the outcome of rfm or elliot. I think finucane is still getting less than eastwood at the storm.
True but at the time Finucane was a mistake prone up and comer and Eastwood was an international. At the time it really wasn't much of a choice.
That's a myth tbh.
Which bit all the mistakes Finucane was making and still is or that Eastwood played for NZ?
