Looks like bye bye Teddy. My gut feeling is he will leave - and I can't really blame him.
Would have been on more money and a better side at the Raiders right now
We have a full cap to play with and have been linked with quality players who could catapult us easily into the 8 next season. And a pretty handy coach is on his way too. Why are we being written off already?
Pah any player that says they are going to Club X for increase success is both a fool and a dog.
They are foolish because nothing is certain, the fortunes of any club ebb and flow. If you know you are going to play finals football, forget the football, retire and become a professional punter. If you seriously think you know who's going to win this year and next, just put all your money on it, don't bother having to earn it the hard way.
And then say you do join a club like Melbourne who are very good at making finals. Is that enough? Or do you then have to win a GF to ultimately satisfy. How satisfied are Dogs or Broncos fans with recent Grand Finals appearances but lack of wins?
And you are a dog because the salary cap works against ensuring the same teams make the finals all the time. If you leave a club because they don't win enough, you are not just abandoning your team-mates but you are attempting to absolve yourself from that lack of success. Who are the players who move from club to club, short contracts, to maximise success and/or money? That's right, mercenaries.
