Andrew Davey

[lsz]

Who cares that Davey is leaving. He’s 30 years old coming off a serious ACL injury. Says a bit about the bloke that he’d rather leave than stick around the club that’s spent a whole year recovering him whilst playing him over a legitimate long term player for us in Schuster. Good riddance I say.

Hard to stay when you are not offered a contract?

lol yes and he has performed way way above Schuster this year. Davey is all heart and all effort and all about how hard I can play this week - Schuster sadly all ego and all about how good he might be!

I like Davey but he doesn't move the needle IMO, we wont rue this decision.

Whilst I agree with you,every club has to have a Davey type player in their pack.Someone who’s prepared to work hard,set an example and does all the little things right,a tradesman like player.

Sure, he's no world-beater, but he does work hard and it seems like he actually wants to play. Sadly, that's as good as we've got these days.

Averages approx same metres and tackles a game as Tuilagi...

In the Telecrap today there was a small article about Davey complaining that because the NRL hasn't finalised the Salary cap level for next year ... players like him are in limbo ... and unsigned for next year ..

It mentions 3 clubs are interested in his services ... but nothing signed yet ...

@Disco three clubs interested says a lot.

None as a starter though I doubt. He’s a top 30 player and good one to have in the squad as coverage. Shame we couldn’t keep him for this role at least.

Yup, great player, and great number 17 imo. No nonsense. Character. Hard worker. Love him.

I find it strange people are critiquing him for what he is and what he does ?

No, the article says that there are a lot of players in the same situation because clubs are waiting to hear how much money they will have ... and that it's not the big earners on hold but the lower levels .

Yeah not having a go at him, just that if he was highly valued he'd be locked down already. As you say its at the lower end that are on hold.

Good solid squad player, gives his all but is not someone that will come back to haunt us.

Good on you Andrew. One of the good guys! Never stopped trying.

Dogs pack looking better and better. I think they’ll surprise a few next year.

I'm not convinced. They have a huge amont of dollars tied up in Pangai Jnr and now Kikau coming for a huge payday, will either really be busting a gut for Doggie glory? Their best worker Jackson has been tapped on the shoulder. And the small matter of a halfback.

Hey Ryan - hope your well mate.
Just on "3 clubs interested"....this is set up by managers and passed off to media to create interest.
Hopefully gets a good go at the Dogs and does well, seems an inspiring bloke.

This guy let go and we keep Boyle yippee

Boyle would be min contract $120k ... Davey would be close to $300k .

Highly doubt the dogs are paying Davey close to 300k. More like 150-200 max. Easily could’ve kept him at manly.
