It's a shame, we don't have many forwards who could be DOGS OF WAR

Hypethrington the penalty machine, he will need Ricky Stuart on his arse 24/7 to reform him like he did with Hudson Young.

Hetherington had a player option for 2023 didn’t he? Dogs told him to look elsewhere as he was rumoured to be on 500k. I’d say it’s smart from Gus. Hetherington is good when he’s not injured or getting out on report/suspended. But he’s not worth 500k. Better to direct money elsewhere
It was a MO and the club said they didn’t want to exercise their option which basically gave him no choice but to leave. That’s different from a PO that Burton has for 2024 where he does have a say.

Club still didn’t want to pay 500k to him. IMO could get a like for like cheaper. He has some good upsides with size and pace but he has hardly played in 2 years. Better to re direct money elsewhere

Isn’t this whole thread about Heatho signing for Canb? If so I can’t see him backing up and playing #15 for us!!

I didn't mind him. Thought he copped it pretty bad from the judiciary compared to many others. His deficiencies can be coached, but his pace is something that you either have or don't. If the rest of the team is firing, a forward with the pace of an outside back can be a real asset.
Yeah I agree.
He was a cluster flick-up last season.
However this year he had reduced the penalties & was looking much more effective & even keeled out there prior to his injury.
I think he could have made a difference for us.
At least it should have been less waddles & stinky-son out there, and that could only have been a positive!!

I'd say Hetherington spent more time off the field than on it during his time with us.....not bad work for $500K a season. Just like Baz he had to go.

Traitors to the Raiders.....Ricky can look forward to having 12 men on the park more often than not.....Can we offload knockonbor to them as well?
