Addo Carr signs with Storm...

Masterson, I will agree on billy slater. I didn't read the post that lead you to comment on him. He is a grubby player much like his ex team mate Adam Blair. I will never forget the day he kicked Skando in the face. All hail tne almigjty grub Billy Slater. Rates in my mind with the own piss drinker Carney!!!!

Yeah the biggest grub in the NRL.

He got 5 weeks for the Skando incident and I can tell you Skando does not hold Slater in a high regard at all

We have two guys playing in this years GF. Two that could have started our rebuild alot earlier and cheaper TMM and JAc. I know the Jason Taylor smashing is well and truly done on this forum . I got excited when i heard of his signature to be our coach Ex magpie and all. He turned my love of football and my love of the West Tigers into misery. A JT bash from me coz i never have. I am excited about next year. I to also believe in Ivan. Shame we don't habe TMM & JAC.

JT should have seen after 2 or 3 games Rankin was poo, JAC was young but better than Rankin.
Any way we move on, we have plenty to look forward too next year, onwards and upwards.

Slater is one the the best fullbacks to play the game..

Can't wait till Teddy starts carving up with the Rorters and we all bag Ivan for letting him go.

I had a laugh the other day when someone suggested we would not lose any young talent on Cleary's watch when 3 of "the big 4" left after he arrived.

It is hinted earlier in this thread that Taupau may have been influenced to leave (partly) due to how a certain player was treated - it also could have influenced the loyalty of the Big Three.

Sharkies probably feel worse than us, they had Curtis Scott and JAC

Potent combo aren't they considering they make the other side of chambers and vulivalu look average..

Pretty good job considering how good Chambers is. One of my favourite players.

Hindsight when it comes to rugby league recruitment and retention is fantastic in that it benefits absolutely no one.

But hopefully some learn from their lapses - in keeping marriages together it works

Yeah I can honestly say that I haven't really lamented any other 'loss' of a player over the years with quite the amount of disappointment as I have this guy JAC. Benji, Farah, Taupau, Fifita, Heighno - none of them leaving have bothered me all that much, even TMM I can live with, but JAC? This one really hurts and the hurt has only just begun, imo.

Whilst I'm happy for him and the success he is now wallowing in, I almost feel sick to the stomach every time I watch him run out for the Storm or hear him being interviewed and saying how much better it is where he is now, how professional they are, how he's glad he made the decision to move and that he will never leave….yet it could've been a different story altogether, but for a 'sliding doors' type scenario with his contract negotiations.

I know I have to get over it because its happened and there is nothing anyone can do about it and the instant success at the Storm in his first season guantees that he will never return here, but it still doesn't make it any easier to swallow. I guess his loss wouldn't have been so bad if he wasn't such an X factor player and exactly the type of winger we've been crying out for since.... I dunno... forever!

Russell, it is his first bash, isn't he entitled to at least one - others have had dozens?

All fine and good BBF about how a certain player was mistreated by the coach but something tells me it wasn't all one way traffic in the mistreating department.

A SMH article on Saturday re the grand finalists etc states how the halves etc. exhibit the same intensity and/or simplicity in life as they do on the field and proceeded to analyse all the greats. When watching videos of the big blues in SOO etc. His Royal Highness never took a backward step so that can be expected in outside life. If the first episode between them was about representing Australia then the fall out over that set the pattern of what was to follow. A people manager should not get off on the wrong foot and expect to have an easy career when there are champs and egos involved.

It's called missing the boat, BBF.

Let's all get over JT, Farah, Humphries, Lovett, Rankin, players that left etc. etc.

We have a brand new season coming up with a new coach, what looks like a reasonable team and ISP team, with lots to look forward to. lets not go back into the dark past.
