Laughable assessment.

Advertising himself? Are you of the belief that he’s jumping on the phone and giving the media a call to put it out there?

He’s an off contract footballer keen to play on. Fair play to him. What else do you expect him to say when he’s asked questions about it?

Also very interested to hear your examples of Tolman contributing to the alleged simmering anger within the ranks. I’ve seen zero evidence of this, he’s continued to conduct himself as the ultimate professional with commitment both on and off the paddock.

As suggested by another member - it appears your dislike for his playing style has clouded your judgement of the man.
He’s advertising himself Donkey/Horse, whatever you are.

If he was good enough for NRL his agent would have got him something by now.

Quality over quantity. Maybe you should give that tip to your Aunty Lynne?
Yeah the quality must be real high that’s why you’re still spending so much time over here.

Btw you’d better have a word with TDS’ Head of Recruitment. Appears he failed to conduct his due diligence as one of his recruitment letters has landed in the wrong PM box.

That snails rate of momentum is about to come to a grinding halt.

Someone needs to put you publicists into line and put your BS back into your mouth

No doubt this playing group is tight knit but I kind of getting the feeling that Pay/SG was so soft on this group that they now sulk for any small matter. Sure it may have been done a little more delicately for all the Nancy’s but what was so unreasonable with Price’s request??? The players staying on really need to harden the fuck up and embrace the change they are about to be faced with.

It’s all bullshit news
They were cooking and helping poor people. They don’t mention that in the media. There like to put the club down.
Exactly, tell me one good thing Danny Weidler has said about the club? He will find any dirt possible..
In saying that, is Steve Price corporate material, I think not. Great player, a bulldogs legend, but he just isn’t the right fit from a business point of view

Watched 360 tonight and Kent said they were told to have there lockers cleaned by the end of the month so Friday and staff too since there jobless due to the joint having to be cleaned over a few weeks of the off season. To me it’ makes sense that’s pretty normal with most jobs
Seems like a nothing story that wiedler ran with. Paul Kent summed it up as a nothing story

There are a lot of soft cock snowflakes in the playing ranks.

The nrlol is a business and seriously we are all cheering those players have been fucked off.

They are supposed to be men, not under 6's boys.

So ... the story is that the club reminded them to clean our their lockers before they leave? And that some disgruntled players whispered to the media about the club? If that's even true of course.

People on here whinge and whinge about the need for positive news about the club, but at the same time are more than happy to swollow any negative bullshit thrown their way and use it to death ride the club? You can't have it both ways.

Perhaps the start of getting the media and everyone else to speak more positively about the club, is for its 'loyal' fans to start focusing on the positive aspects themselves?

Unfortunately the modern aged footballer isn't what they used to be so I think different approaches need to be made.

Price forgot to use "Please" when reminding them, which is the issue here I think.

There’s a reason why no teams lining up to take our rejects how many of the 8 let go will get another contract elsewhere other then Foran and holland who retire so the 6 remaining

And Foran got a minimum 1 year deal at his old club playing for his old coach ...

Not that I think the whole 'locker incident' happened the way it's being portrayed, but perhaps that's what the playing group needed. Let's be honest. Some of their performances this year were ....
