I really hate to keep being negative but this is very disappointing. He was prob our best forward this yr (podium finish for Peponis medal is proof) so sad that hes been let walk for that and also the fact we are so short on forwards for next yr. Really questionable decision this

At 300k he’s handy and based of form was one of our better performing players this year. Quite optimistic Gus has a few signings up his sleeve from the rumours though the “utility’s” don’t provide much more value than Wadell. We want to be a top side so this shouldn’t be an issue though I wouldn’t be surprised when the we should’ve kept wadell thread pops up our foward pack looks that brittle.

I have always been an avid supporter of Augustus Gould. However this decision (to release Waddell) is ludicrous.
He has been our best forward, except Preston. We do not have a middle forward of note, just a lot of pretenders.
I know a lot of "forwards" have been signed, but they are all lightweights. They wont cut the mustard when it gets serious.
Unless Gould has a few surprises in his locker, I will remain disappointed in this decision..

Cant wait for him to def punch holes thru our wafer thin defence next yr to add more insult to injury

what if we're getting curran as a waddell replacement?
surely that's a massive upgrade than keeping waddell.
Still short on forwards who can do a job even if curran signs. This decision doesnt make any sense

Honestly he was one of our better players in the second half of the season but ultimately before that he has been meh, so no loss.. need to get rid of the dead weight anyway

so from memory we only have king, knight, tanner, takihueo, patolo and possibly the dolphin reject as our middle forwards. we're at least 1-2 forwards short unless I've missed anyone

We aren't making announcements. You think Gus wants to tell everyone we've signed Hutchinson, Mann, Turpin, Foamsulli (my spelling is so bad google can't find him) and whoever else? Lol
Haven't even announce takiheuo either lol

*Spolier alert

Waddell will perform to a high standard next year while our pack continues to get alpha'd. Kennel "experts" will huff their cheeks and ask why he didn't perform like that here, when he did in fact perform like that here.
Surely you will create a thread welcoming him in the manly forum Lafam
