Has less than zero clue - says players don’t get better after leaving… you give him a list of some that do and he changes direction.

Aloiai, Liddle, Suli, Matterson, Walters - also worthy of a mention.
played better footy after leaving here and were better than the nuffies we had here in their place.

Aloiai and Matterson definitely better when with us

Surely the 10-day cooling off period is done now for Jake Averilo ?
Maybe a club has come in under the radar

Matterson you could argue - although he played origin post us, so that would be kicking on to a degree you’d think?
Aloiai i’d counter, he was really starting to fire up front for us when he left and I thought he had a couple great seasons at Manly at Prop in between his injuries and what not.

You have to ask was it the club that pushed them out or was it the player wanting to leave
Aloiai - came to the club and said he was never playing for the club again when under contract - better contract already lined up at manly
Liddle - not wanted by the club and was bench hooker at St George for last 2 years
Suli - sacked by the club for failing basic requirements, then sacked by bulldogs and manly.
Matterson left because he didn’t like Madge’s requirements now trying to be moved in by Parra after taking a weeks off instead of a fine
Walters - went back to Brisbane

Difficult to lay the blame at the club for these although they are responsible for lots of issues

Unless they’re trying to get him before June 30 but have to wait until after we play the Dolphins next week 🤞🏻

A lot of players we have let go have kicked on elsewhere , but every club could say the same thing. There are a million and one reason why this happens and usually is not a reflection of the club releasing the player. If you kept everyone you would have 150 players on your books. Okay I think we have made a few bad calls but we are not alone, every club has done the same

Difference between us and all the other clubs is they still had good players - we let good players and juniors go to keep shit ones.

So why haven’t that club announced something then?
