Don't believe those two make the list of players we could not sign.
we withdrew our offers because they rejected us.
Did they?
How do you know this?
It was widely reported. No news organisation or person on the planet reported it like you have, so how did you come to that conclusion?
Exactly, we offered plenty and thought both would come, when it was apparent neither would come, we tried to save face and say we withdrew our offer. We then bent over even more by saying, if they want to come back to the table, we will listen to what they have to say.
We got rejected, rather than say nothing after our supposed withdrawal, we make it known otherwise.
We got rejected in the dance, then hung around outside hoping for a miracle after the show had finished, embarrassing really
The question is.....
Did we withdraw our offers to Latrine and JAC?
Don't need your thoughts on this 851 or Avo....just the answer to the question.
Take off your rose coloured glasses Russ, we travelled all around the country side trying to land those 2 blokes, offering fullback to both. But if that is what it takes for you to sleep well at night, then you keep thinking we withdrew our offer and we out smarted them, well played Wests Tigers, you are contract negotiation geniuses, other clubs should learn from our savvy approaches.
From the ramble above I assume the answer to my question is...
No we didn't withdraw our offer.... Is that correct?
We withdrew our offer to save face after it became clear the players had no interest in coming here. It is like going for a job and when you miss out saying that I didn't really want it anyway.
I thought we withdrew the offers when it was clear they were looking elsewhere?
LM wasn’t coming he wanted to go to Souths and JAC got a better offer?
Isn't that what I said?
