I'm almost convinced that someone inside had a massive bet on us getting the spoon and all out trying to make it happen.

If it’s a hack job we’re sure to finish 15th, they’ll cock it up 😂

 

[coivtny]

Snide little dig at the WT there?
Seems like this would be more of an issue with the manager rather than WT, but not a good look either way.

Yep and you love to see us fire back both barrels but it won 't happen will it.

what a ballz up,if Lucy asked for a release and we signed off on it with wanting nothing in return,shame on us,if the paperwork is done Lucy is a free agent,let him walk.he needs time to find a better agent

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Luck was quick to say there is nothing in writing. What does that suggest to the discerning supporter?

On their own forum a poster made a reference to a SEN interview where Luck is alleged to have asked LL's manager to negotiate a release.

Maybe our club is being professional and keeping quiet.

 

[momo_amp_medo]

Lol, what a mess.

No Lucy on credit.

Pony up or he hits the lawns.

What’s the mess?
We just released a dungbat player, saved some money.
We are not going to cry about his missed tackles or be forced to presented his mediocre efforts for rest of the year.
He and the Cowboys asked for it and Sheens delivered.

SIGH! …. I’ve got to stop reading this crap.

50 and 1.
My pop (ex nrl ref coach), told me when I was 12 that the magpies will never ever win the gf in my lifetime coz the club is poor, poorly run and the rich get richer.
I guess he would say he was right.
Thank god for the Tigpies!!!

On the Magpies another reason they never won a GF in those years is that they were robbed with "funny" refereeing.

Thinking 62, 63 and 78 at least.

 

[FinestTigers]

When dealing with giving players an early release,
You would think that the WT are the most experienced of all NRL clubs, how could this seem to have been mishandled now when the club has done this so many times before?

Is this a different player manager than the previous ones who made those releases look too easy for Matterson and Moses?

Or was this player manager just too eager to get his hands on his big commission?

The refs have smashed us for decades. I have family that are refs and they are bias. Of course they say they were not but I have sat there and watched it.

Maybe your not reading me properly Ampy. I’m not blaming us at all. Off he goes with my full blessing.

But when we sell a player, we need the deal honoured.

NQ’s credit card has bounced, not good enough.

Like buying petrol and driving off.

 

[Deleted member 3518]

These things rarely end well for WT

Yep

 

[Masterton]

Anyone else get the feeling NQ wanted him released 1/7 when he's 1/12 cheaper?

 

[Papacito]

So now we let blokes walk instead of getting them to mow lawns for the rest of their contract?

 

[TSP]

Lol, brilliant.

NQ Accounts have mislaid his file, they call it “ techinal issues”

👍

I think the cowboys didn't think it would be so soon. Tigers just got it done quickly and the cowboys are moving things around quickly.

Maybe they will have to wait a month so hel be on less coin to out him under.

I want to but I can’t give the credit to the tigers for releasing Lucy quickly intentionally to cause these problems for the cowboys

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Just my positive thoughts -

Sheens is aware the Cowboys have cap issues and can't afford LL this year without losing/swapping a player with WTs.

Justin booked LL first class on a NASA space shuttle to Townsville before the ink dried on the release and before any discussions around player swaps occurred.

The Cowboys now have LL but can't fit him in the cap. Robson is offered and rejected. Why would we want another hooker? We want Nanai but would accept the Hammer.

Faalongo I think it was at south’s had him figured out

This is legendary

Off to a great start for him, his new club might have left him high and dry till next year, I hope it breaks down and has to sit out the rest of the year the irony of leaving people in the lurch would just be amazing.

Why would the tigers announce the release Ie. Sheens . If we didn’t sign the release . It’s that simple .
The manger , not the cowboys applied , granted on behalf , we sign the release , the manger hadn’t arranged the particulars for the extension into 2022 for the new contract .
Our onus starts and stops at his contract here .
Whether he can play for them has nil to do with us .
That’s his mangers fault .
He clearly jumped the gun with the release request .

I wonder whether Lucy plays footy this weekend and for who?
