That’s interesting. You saying the DCE situation was driven by Gentle, not Mestrov or Seibold? Gentle certainly keeps a low profile for a head of football.

Bit harsh re Gentle - no lower profile than Bonsara

Not saying a low profile is a bad thing. Prefer guys who let their actions do the talking. I guess Gus Gould would be at the other end of the spectrum.

Forget Fogarty, 3yrs is too long and will hold back our young guns. Katoa has been playing 1st grade for the Dolphins for a couple of years and he's only 21 now.

Bite the bullet and use Walsh or Large.

Save the cash for a decent prop or two.

It might have been an option if Walsh was actually playing but they aren’t going to take the risk without seeing what he has. Would be nice if we got some kind of injury update on him considering how many games he has missed, don’t expect reports on all juniors but considering he’s in the top 30 I think it’s reasonable for the fans to be updated

Could it be bob because the money thrown at DCE and then the Turbo's, the club had no money to afford a top forward pack?

Yes, but also lousy recruitment. e.g. Storm don't pay overs for tough players with good attitude.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has already signed with us with a decision not to announce until season's end.

You don’t think he is waiting to go on national tv to announce it?

You don’t think he is waiting to go on national tv to announce it?

Without the consent or knowledge of his team mates or his club??

Looks like the equation is coming or could be coming down to Fogarty on 750 K for 3 years , not an unrealistic possibility now that D C E could stay on for a year or 2 on similar money[ or slightly more ] or taking a punt on Walsh ;
Which would definitely be the least likely outcome .
Just can not see the Dolphins overly interested securing D C E , Dogs looks like have opted out , Roosters and as others are also now suggesting , could well be similarly disinclined in their present halfs setting and situation .
Flexibility doen "t always have to be the order of the day but with changing circumstances , could well be coming onto play with D C E not going anywhere

I kinda like that it is a hard decision for him

It shows that he cares about his life and where he plays not just about picking up a chq

We have wasted 43 pages and 853 posts if Foggy ends up not coming ...

Not really a waste ...... those 853 posts would have been wasted on another inane topic anyway .....

Done deal apparently!
