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.
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 ...

Unsigned in late August says alot

Let’s all have a chew!
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.
