Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The Katoa situation is brutal. A couple of points that serve as reminders

- For anyone complaining how soft the game has become, it’s for reasons like this. Once upon a time, no one would have bettered an eye at him actually playing. Protocols are in place now to prevent it. I’m not sure who dropped the ball here in not following them but someone should answer for it. I don’t like how soft the game has become either, but it’s a necessary evil for the game to exist in this day and age.

- I’ve said over and over that I don’t understand when players are so bla’ze during contract negotiations, saying things like “Im in no hurry” when things like this can happen at any moment. Your value can go from seven figures to zero in the blink of an eye. We’ve seen it with Dwyer, Tuiaki, Alex McKinnon, yet players turn a blind eye. Could you imagine if Katoa was in the middle of a contract tug-o-war where he’s being offered close to a million dollars? Suddenly he’s waking up the next day on skid row. I don’t get it.
Good post, mate.
