Lol just when you thought nothing could top the LM saga.... the very next off-season.......
Not even close to the same. JAC is stuck at Melbourne that’s it lol journalists trying to make drama out of it
I really, really doubt that if it works for JAC that Melbourne will stand in his way; assuming he really does want to be back in Sydney.
But Tigers doesn't work for JAC. Souths do.
So your conspiracy theory is that he asked for multiple releases to try and make it look like he wanted a release but doesn’t actually want a release, the Melbourne ceo coming out and saying we won’t release him without a swap was all a ruse, Josh saying he wouldn’t be playing for Melbourne again was fake and that it’s all an effort to bump his price up with Souths.
He could’ve just stayed at Melbourne and just asked Souths for more money next year during negotiations instead of all the drama Don’t you think ?
Sheeeesh, what? Not sure how you got that.
I have no doubt JAC genuinely wanted to leave for the right reasons, whether that's still an urgent requirement for him or not I don't know.
My theory is purely that JAC wants to be with his mates at Souths. Be it next season or the one after.
If it is true what's being said in the media plus what Lee said to Vossy in the interview maybe JAC has changed his mind but because of the HOA and the tiger's playing hardball with it he is stuck with us or the storm for 2021
To get to rabbits or dogs he probably has to ask storm to refuse release to null and void our HOA and than be free to sign with whoever in 2022
But all that makes a mockery of his family compassionate grounds release which by the end of next year will be 2 years without being home with his family even he was so desparate to return to Syd
That’s would be pretty out there and ridiculous. Don’t see him choosing to stay away from his family a year just to sign at a certain club. What’s more important playing footy with your mates or family
Just a suggestion
Seems weird that we let go players for spitting the dummy ( and no need for the we are a week club crap) and storm after 12 months of notice and JAC stating he has lost 7 relatives in 2 years can't get a look in for a release and he is ok with it
You don't think that seems pretty out there
Maybe playing with his mates is more important to him long term
You wouldn't know
Your not him
But I'm also sure storm told him at start of year they wanted 12 months to sort a replacement and would release him at end of 2020 obviously thinking they would have a replacement. Can anyone confirm this?
Than JAC stated at grand final? Or somewhere else he had played his last game with the storm so what's the hold up?
A change of heart from JAC? or a lack of caring from the storm?
I mean stopping a player even after 12 months notice and 7 family deaths just because you haven't got a replacement
What's more important to the storm?
JAC family or having a top line winger in their side regardless of his family issues
There is certainly something fishy going on and it doesn't seem either party is putting family 1st
They are either trying to screw tigers if HOA has been signed for a player or just pull out altogether as something better has come along
That seems pretty clear to me
Storm want a replacement, that’s it. They want to sign a winger in his spot. They’ve said that the whole time, big clubs care more about winning than anything.
They aren’t under any scrutiny from the media either so it doesn’t bother them really
