Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Nothing would have eventuated, we had zero leaders to show them how to win - and we’re paying them too much to have quality around them.


Nope
We pulled the contract - it’s easy to assume the final outcome, but the truth is - history will never know.


We were also a club that had been through 2 coaches and looking to get rid of a 3rd inside 5 years - had also been through 3 ceos and just paid out club captain and longest serving player 1 million dollars to play somewhere else for a year - how exactly are they supposed to respond, and how would you have them think?

I don’t disagree

with you necessarily,
or think the outcome may have been to different
- but laying it all on a bunch of young blokes because they got out of the shit show, I just won’t wear that.

After all,
almost 10 years later - we’re all still here, with the clowns at the top still playing the e same stupid games!

Moses agreed to join Roosters whilst our offer was on the table. The offer was on the table for over 9 months & Cleary did the only thing he could do. He reneged on his handshake deal with Roosters. None of Isaacs clients were staying because Jason Taylor knocked back Joe Wehbe joining the coaching staff (Wehbe was Isaacs right hand man back then). Those are facts. Isaac tried getting all 4 to the Dogs as a package but the Dogs didn’t want Brooks. Mitchell then performed his impersonation of “lay down sally” and the rest is history

des hasler didnt want Moses at the dogs the deal was for woods and tedesco.
As for Brooks he was never ever offered to the dogs
 
big problem with the Campbelltown Macarthur area is as people have moved out there to purchase homes etc they are heading out there already following another team e.g. parents followed dragons or parramatta or souths etc or as a kid they might have followed another team.
The default for the kids is not necessarily Tigers.
People have all sorts of weird ass reasons for following teams
I know this one weirdo on the WTF forum, he is Ozy and goes for the Poms at cricket!!!

Isaac tried getting all 4 to the Dogs. Des didn’t want Moses as a 5/8 and definitely didn’t want to pay him what we offered but they had discussions. He had no interest in Brooks. Minichiello approached Tedesco about joining Roosters so he signed there. Des publicly said he had no interest in Moses but they did have talks. To be honest I don’t even know why we are discussing these blokes, long gone
