@happy tiger said:@innsaneink said:14 other clubs didnt line up for fafita because the sharks sucked us in….they had Gibbs, and called our bluff saying they would only take gibbs if we released fafita
We fell for it
They made a choice between Fifita ,BMM ,Groat and Woods at who would be kept
This is just wrong
If we'd paid Fifita what he was asking we would of lost probably Groat , BMM or another up and coming youngster as we would of blown the cap
Many at the time would of thought was madness
or even dwyer.
i think the truth is in the middle. sharks suckered us into letting fifita go. farah said that they wanted either gibbs AND fifita or no deal and we folded.
we shouldn't have folded so easy, but at the same time you can see why we did. We had many youngsters we didnt want to lose who looked to be have the potential to be as good as Woods or Galloway and we had Fifita who had talent but wasn't applying it and had a bad attitude.
unfortunately they cant see the future like we can looking back at it.
