I blame terrible recruitment and retention.Can we blame him? Is he a bad guy if leaves for greener pastures????
He's not on as much as reported in the telecrapI agree with what you are saying, but we simply cannot retain our best players such as Stefano, upgrade others such as Galvin, have a red hot crack at signing a couple more quality players to strengthen up our team and still pay the rumoured 500-550k per season for a halve who is highly likely to okay NSW Cup for the remainder of his contract.
If he was on much less money it would be nice to keep him, but he’s not.

Are previous recruitment team were bad, but do you really think they'd offer an injury prone reserve grade half a $2million deal? It's not that much, and i'm pretty sure there are options in the contract too.
Clubs never announce "we've signed XX player on a 4 year deal but there are conditions that we can offload them earlier at no expense if we want to". It makes it sound like the club doesn't rate the player and that they're not wanted, sometimes even before they've played a single game. These clauses and options only come out down the track if/when necessary. See Stefano's origin clause, supposedly Schuster weight clauses etc. They don't announce these things up front, just that it's a X year contract.

I hope you are right.He's not on as much as reported in the telecrap

We obviously don’t like big, strong, fast backs who make line breaks and score tries.James Schiller reportedly signs with the Knights from next season onwards.
While we are at it I'll throw a hot take in too. JFH is going to be the biggest loss to that Panthers team in the last 5 years.Might sound crazy, but I love a good hot take. The Panthers will fall back into the pack next year. JFH and Luai are huge losses.

Old Poppy BF used that line a fair bit. Along with this “god give ya two hands, so learn how to use em and you’ll be able to chop some big men down to size. But never kick a man while he’s down, help him up and ask him if he’s finished. If he is then shout him a beer.” 🍺An old quote " A good big man will always beat a good little man"
On average, other traits being equal.
Let’s see how Cleary copes when his best prop his Eiso. 😁While we are at it I'll throw a hot take in too. JFH is going to be the biggest loss to that Panthers team in the last 5 years.
fingers crossedAnd us.... a great buy for us....
Maybe they didn't bother after reading all the posts about how he won't leave Canberra on here 😆We obviously don’t like big, strong, fast backs who make line breaks and score tries.
Highly likely his best prop will be Utoikamanu who by season 2025 will be an upgrade on Fisher-Harris.Let’s see how Cleary copes when his best prop his Eiso. 😁
If we lose Stefano and lose a young talent in Large, it will be another 10 years of failure ahead.Like a lot of West Tiger supporters, I give up.
Now this is disappointing. We should have been offering him 400k to join us.James Schiller signs with Newcastle on a 3 year deal from next year.
