2023 Team

[Mark from Brisbane]

Reading these posts is kind of depressing. Des is not stupid I am sure there is a plan for next year and beyond. If Garrick goes it’s only for money and nothing more!!!especially if it is Newcastle.

Yes but he’ll be gone and that’s just plain sad !!

 

[Marto1970]

Burbo ,Toff ,Bully , Parker, Harper all off contract next year and Chez big contract ends , you would think they will need a big year to get extended,might be a bit more player movement next year

 

[NREagle]

Maybe Manly is looking at a swap - Klemmer for Garrick? We need a replacement for Marty.

On the other thread the rumour is that Sipley, Garrick, okalatu and Josh Aloiai have all asked for a release

It is what it is. We cannot expect that the dysfunctional relationships within the team will magically heal during a preseason. Our team dynamics have been completely shattered by recent events. There is no trust. They will never be able to play as a team again. We are in a rebuilding phase right now. Whether we like it or not, this is our reality. If any of the current team is asking for a release, it should be provided to them. This needs to be on terms that are favourable to the club. The club's very existence is threatened, and if that means releasing one or more of the big three as well, then so be it. The club should always be bigger than its players. Over the last decade we have watched it go the other way. This has clearly been to the club's detriment. Some hard decisions need to be made. Does our club management have the guts to do so?

This time last year we were on the way to building a premiership winning team and now we are back to fighting for bottom 4 again. Far out. None of this is on Des. The people who run our club have a lot to answer for.

Extremely sad @Mark from Brisbane but the club must go on.

 

[JenEagle]

maybe we should offer JWH a fortune Ben Kennedy style to come and show our re building forwards how to play

Of course , no one is bigger than the team.

That (our) ****ing marketing team have better got fired.

Thanks a lot you ass hats, hope the $12000 in profits in another limited edition jersey was worth it.

Penn is a ****ing muppet too.

I will be pissed if we lose Garrick and ola. The other guys are useless anyways and Ive never been attached to aloai, who sits out as much as he plays.

There is an old but true saying .....

Rumors are carried by haters
Spread by fools

That's not the point .
It's not up to Garrick .
We have a player signed for low $ next year ,you keep him to his contract.
These office guys cannot be that stupid !!
And we all wonder why we have cap problems.

Get them gone ,but the club needs to get back a player of same value .
If other clubs can why have we never done so !
Any other club wouldve been able to get whoever they want for AFB .
Not ours -zilch,nada ,nothing.
