Didn't Gibbs sign a three year contract just before he was told to look for other clubs.

Gee that's poor management. Given how many players we've moved on you'd think we'd have some room to move under the cap. I don't see the logic in getting rid of a player, replacing them with nobody and paying them to play for another club. It's insanity. I hope the new CEO can sort this mess out.

Dont believe this. However, I think the article is talking about salary cap allocation and not actual money. I assume it is saying we have to include a portion of their contracted salaries in our cap.

All three were owed money from the first years of their contracts due to Noyce's ineptness. They all agreed to let it be caught up in the next contract which never came.
Gibbo's catch up ended last year.

Just speculation, but maybe Ellis' deal might have some more to it.
Remember when the club announced we had extended Gareth for another 12 months? You can't backload contracts unless the player is currently still playing for you, so it would make sense if that was done purely to allow us to backload his contract into 2013 and give us breathing room in 2011/12.
And if Gareth decided to stay another year (2013), we benefit with a quality player, if he decides to go, we still benefit in the short term from the backloading.
Just a thought.

He was a big loss, one of if not the nest defensive prop in the game.
And his metres puts Blairs figures to shame
'10 or '11 was the only player along with Tuiaki to consistently crack 100m
Been enjoying the fish cocktails & prawn cutlets by the looks of things - good luck to him

Tuiaki's career ended in 2009 dude.
I want some of what you are on.

but back on point I think Bryce looked like a fat sack of crap - I'd be ashamed of myself if I trundled back onto the park looking like that after having free access to state of the art exercise equipment and personnel and if it was an integral part of my work. He looked absolutely gassed after his first hit-up.
That would be like rocking up to work as a policeman after time away wearing a pair of thongs.

:laughing: Nice description of Gibbs there, UD. He did look very chubby last night. I was surprised how long he actually lasted without a break though. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was close to half an hour. Pretty good, since he hasn't played all year and looked out of shape.

Sharks did a Tigers, Gibbs has been out all year and so instead of bringing him back through reggies and getting him game fit, they put him straight into the team. See, the take note of what we do, not just take our players!

That is it , and when you think these guys are fulltime professional Athletes that train basically every day , how do you get so overweight during the football season.
Moving up in defence and getting back 50 metres for a hit up from a kick down field would be affecting his fitness with that much weight on you . They get paid to look after themselves.
