It happens to be that Lee Hagipantellis, is also the owner of Brydens Lawyers — the Blues’ major sponsor and Fittler is Head coach of the Blues

I think this is the beauty of this statement. Not only is Lee sponsor of the blues, he is apparently widely loved within the Blues camp. Apparently not backward in looking after everyone. His words will mean something in this context.

Think Freddie is too thick to link the relationships together!!
The accidental coach who got so lucky on timing with Qld losing their dynasty,and still only managed 2/1 SOO victory and then it was in the last minute!!
Theres not an NRL coach who cldnt do a better job than Freddie!!

I'm wondering if something untoward has happened and he's been asked to leave. Similar to when an employee does something worthy of dismissal but they're given the opportunity to hand in a resignation.

Pure speculation of course, but could be an explanation.

Weird quoting myself but...

...seems from what Aesopian has said this might turn out to be true. I guess 2+2 really does equal 4. He doesn't have a great off-field record so breaching several contract conditions (I suspect drug and alcohol intake might be one) isn't really surprising.

I suppose some young blokes just can't be told. Even Uncle Wayne hasn't been able to man-manage him into being sensible.

Lee just needs to tell Freddie to shut his stupid trap or he's pulling the sponsorship of the blues. He won't say another word after that.

With the likelihood of JAC going to the bunnies.
We are going to have plenty of cash over the next two years.i hope the club goes all in For Suaalii and Burton both young with huge potential 🔥

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

If i was Lee 'd be pulling my sponsorship and declaring it was because of Fittlers comments, on a side note im glad Lee hasnt been vocal on the JAC front that really blew up on him and the club last time with LM.

We need to hold our money now and target a specialist fullback, a fast winger and an aggressive backrower

I listen to a podcast called 5th and last really good rugby league podcast I highly recommend it and the host said Madge sat down with Suaali last week to try and get him to the club but apparently he wants to go to the rooster

You have to question Fitlers agenda.

I don't know if we really need a winger from external to the club.

Surely AJ can fill that spot, or Talau, or long term Kei.

Fullback yes, but until we get rid of MBye, we're sort of stuck him there.

Second rower, yes please. Need another one I feel, maybe two if Garner goes.

According to Zero tackle Tex Hoy off contract end of next season. Is he worth having a decent go at?

In my opinion he is a very good young fulback. With Ponga. Peace and now Clifford at the knights, no a lot of opportunity.

Should see if panthers are interested in letting Dane Laurie the young fullback explore his options, apparently he is extremely talented

Worth a shot. They’ve got an endless production line of good fast players.

We need to start targeting players for 2022 that we can throw coin at and build a team around

I would say his family may be getting some benefits on the side if its the roosters.... Or above board of course :man-facepalming: ..... Nothing to see here

It's only a few days after Nov 1 but it seems very quite and no noise about.. Normally media has us involved with players but nothing except JAC and we all know how that's going.
We haven't even heard from @THE_POM for a while so assume nothing is happening or his scared to give us info in case the player back flips again on us..
I was hoping to have something this week to get the excitement up about the off season.

Zero chance the Knights see him as their future no6 and I think his old man is on the board or has some high connection with the Knights

Pom posted two weeks ago. That's fairly recent isn't it?

Bevan French has signed a new contract at Wigan so cross that name off the list.
