I saw Pascoe today at Big W Macquarie Centre.
Asked him straight out if Hodgson is coming and he basically said we are waiting for Canberra to come to the party salary wise.
I said “but they don’t want him hey and he doesn’t wanna be there. So we have the upper hand”. He replied “yeah”.
BTW I didn’t realise he is quite tall

Nice of him to be so open and friendly with a fan.

If this is true it actually shows what a poor position we are in as a club when the CEO is talking to supporters at the shopping centre about the details of contract negotiations.

Are you for real? He didn’t tell me the ins and outs of the negotiations. What do you want him to do, ignore me? I was polite to him and he was polite back to a fan

He can be polite by saying - yes we are in negotiations. Saying things like we need Canberra to come to the party and saying we have the upper hand are not really appropriate. Being professional is not saying unnecessary things.

Read my original post again. He didn’t say that

My man...
Got this weird spanner news about Api too.

Probably just fake news.
No negotiations.
Just trying to force Canberra into hurrying up.

I'd assume he was in the shampoo section, copping some bargains.

Big W clothes are pretty poor from what I've seen.

Although I saw a Rambo singlet there once and regretted not buying it ever since -its gone now.

No chance you’d see Lee in there. Only Italian jackets will do for Tommy R

Agreed. I think the Api rumour is to force the raiders hand

It shows that we are still tight fisted in contract negotiations, which is a good thing right?
 
I mean the Canberra head of recruitment went out to the paper and openly talked about Hodgson going to Tigers so I dare say Pascoe telling a fan what he did isn't an issue...

Now it gets interesting. Api K an upgrade on Hodgson at 9 ability wise but probably blocks Simpkin’s path and not a leader like Hodgson.

Api isn’t a spring chicken.
But he is fitter than Hodgson.

Problem though is he isn’t much of a ball player and my thoughts are we are looking at Hodgson for this reason firstly.

Pros and cons with both…API offers more in speed,health and age.
Hogo offers more in leadership, direction and a kicking game, but fitness and age are a issue

Hogo a leader? Is that because of his age he gets that tag? What sort of leader spits the doomy and refuses to be captain any more?

Why hasn’t anyone mentioned the following 2 Words…… Matt Ballin

One that has an issue (and rightfully so) with his coach.

One that stands by his soldiers till the end.
