"I never wanted to leave" - Hard to read

[Indiandog]

I must be the odd man out reading through all the tears.

You chose money over loyalty Josh ... don't try and make this a pity party about yourself.

You aren't worth $750k a year.
You ARE worth $500k a year.

SIMPLE . AS . THAT

If you had performed the last year like the last few weeks then YES, $750k - $900k is realistic... but a few good games a champion does not make.

IT IS NOT SIMPLE AS THAT.

yeah he would accept 500ks when dud Mbye is receiving 800ks given by the very same club.

Tell me again why and how Ennis left the club who also wanted to stay.

this club has been killing us fans by rewarding mediocrity and leaving nothing in wallet for more important players.

Fuck Raelene, the board and and most importantly Fuck Des!

Who are you to say what he's worth ?
You probaby think houses are still selling for 300k in belmore.

Des Hasler.

Des Hasler is a maniac, a controlling maniac.

If you do not obey his orders you are as good as gone.

You must be Des' robot to be in his good books.

We have had players who were outspoken and questioned certain aspects of Des' game plan. All these players were moved along, Barba, Inu, Ennis, Pritchard, Perrett Bros and now Reynolds.

There goes alot more into winning a premiership than a squad of players and it wont matter what players come in or go, the root of the problem from the internal walls, looking out, will not wipe away the frost from the windows

Good luck to Josh but the caravan moves on. Just like he will at the Tigers and he will bleed whatever colours they are.

Orange and black

 

[Kaz]

Mind you, he did say he would've stayed for a little bit less, but the difference was life changing.

He got more that what he was worth in the other Bulldogs contracts he signed.

So it's evened out.

 

[TalDog]

When we were supposedly losing Mbye people here were calling it Thurston 2.0

How things change

Never liked him and at the time we signed him he was still shit and going mia in games he had a couple of good games last year but nothing more he didn't even have a Ben Roberts v broncos kind of good game was a dud decision from the start but seems to be a theme

Add to that list

Tolman Plodder
T. rex. Signed after the back injury or whatever that he never performed after
Perret signed and released without a single 1st grade game under new contract
Eastwood was my fav but signed at a time when he had lost his edge

Bring back crusher !!

You're really grabbing at straws if you think that's why any of them left

They blew it by offering Mbye so much money, like you said no way would Reynolds agree to less then Mbye was getting.

Barba; home sick "bashed his wife and abused team mates wifes and gf/s" also EBC from the Shire.
Inu; lazy prick who was signed mid season from the Warriors who were playing him in reserves for the same reason. "poor attitude"
Ennis; Left for a bigger offer, simple as that.
Pritchard; wasn't a bad thing he wasn't re-signed, since he left the Bulldogs he has played shit house and is a shadow of him self from when he was at the dogs.
Sam Perrett; rightly let go, the guy was getting on in age and if he was retained players like Marcelo Montoya, Kerrod Holland and Reimis Smith wouldn't be able to show case what hey have to offer in first grade.

so IF Hasler is a maniac for letting them go then continue on...

had Des sacked other players instead , your excuses would be :

Jmoz: always broken , knees are shot, cant play more than 10 games a season
Bmoz: too old and slow, a shadow of his former self
Graham: lost his mongrel since black friday never been the same
Kasiano: too fat, cant play long minutes, error riddled and most over rated player in dogs team

and

Yippeee we have re-signed Moses cantevenkickgoals Mbye on 800ks/ season, Eastwood and Tolman and looks like Liccha will be our hooker for next season.

Hasler on million dollars plus salary and you still want to blame des for all this, then continue on...

 

[top-dog]

Fuck Eastwood, Mbye and the spastic who re-signed them

Please include tolman too

 

[rexest]

If tony williams was getting 600+ and mbye is on 750 how the fuck is reynolds worth 500K? That offer is like a kick in the balls tbh, Don't know how people can say he should have stayed for 500 or less if he really loved the club.

 

[Raysie]

I can't understand how signing a 4 year contract with a shit club is a life changing decision in a positive way?

Sure he would've been paid less here at the Bulldogs. But he would have had a job for life at this club once his playing days were over. Now that's a job for life, not a quick dollar in a small period.

 

[Freakzilla]

still cant believe we were able to keep Mbye but not Reynolds.

Hasler wants Mbye way more than Reynolds. That was obvious in 2015 when Reynolds came off the bench behind Mbye and how Mbye got 800k a year last year.

I said it the other week that if we sign Foran then Reynolds is gone.

Whos to say he wont be offered a job at the dogs once he finishes up playing at the tigers anyway?

He was never even offered 500k a year in my opinion. Frawley, Foran and Mbye are under contract and Hasler was never going to pay 500k for another spine player. Reynolds and Lichaa were always going to be gone in 2018

 

[Nano]

All the best to him but in today's competition his skill set, his build/body and his strength just don't cut it.

Footys a business and you need to cut old systems out that don't offer much when you can get better or develop new systems that have capability to deliver.

It's alittle sad but it's the way it is and we need wins/premierships to attract more fans and sponsors for the club stay well, I hope a few more not up to scratch players are given the tap on the shoulder soon aswell because we need to move forward.

Josh had abit easy at the club being a fan favorite and local junior plus having no real competition for spots but with frawley coming in and us getting foran (hopefully) it finally applied that pressure he has to accept that was bound to happen.

 

[Upupcronulla]

Well if the club was trying to get rid of reynolds they have gone about it the right way to minimize fan backlash

Offered him an amount of money which makes it look like they've tried to keep him but not enough to where he actually signs

Club doesn't look bad
And Reynolds doesn't look bad because he accepted so much more money

Win win for everyone involved by the looks of things

 

[Wolfmother]

Did he pretty much confirm Foran is coming?

Yes he did!

 

[Wolfmother]

I hope he has the best brain snaps this year..just to ease the pain..
