Merged Thread: Noel 'Crusher' Cleal, follows Des Hasler to the Bulldogs

RE: Noel Cleal to the Bulldogs

I also called 2UE and it was mentioned that there was a discussion about SPECULATION and RUMOUR that Crusher would go to the Bulldogs, nothing about time frame etc etc.

I cant believe that some posters have Crusher hung, drawn and quartered when you dont know the facts. It seems you have based your opinion on one post without even doing some checking yourself.

If you are going to post something it would be productive not to have selective hearing ie leave out some words.

Anyone who thinks players who have bled for the club, won premierships, spent years of their lives and been responsible for re-building the place from the ground up would be leaving the place lightly are kidding themselves.

I am devastated at Crusher's leaving more than Des'. It is a great pity that there seemed an inevitability about it, and I wish Crusher all the best over there. I hope the door always remains open to him to return to Manly.

Vid is it possible for the FC to invite Des to the FC meeting so that members can ask him questions?

I'm guessing you are asking that with your tongue very firmly in your cheek?

I think it's a perfectly reasonable request.

Well Ernie you can continue to live in hope but I think your chances of a good outcome are slim.

He has an umbilical cord attached to Hasler.

Changing the text isn't going to alter the actual outcome.

Well mate it seems that you know a lot more than I but I dont listen to rumours, I will wait till its official and it wont change anything with me. I have been a supporter for over 50 years, seen a lot worse than what is happening now.

They've suspended the pour, awaiting confirmation.

Cannot even confirm whether they even had the rebar in place.

RE: Noel Cleal to the Bulldogs

Money does talk...let's be honest with ouselves...say you are the MD of Telstra and you had worked for them for all your life...you are on 1.5 Million a year. Optus wants to poach you and say's, here's 2 Million a year, Telstra raises their offer and goe's to 2.1 Million, Optus then comes back and offers 3.5 Million.

You love your job, your love your company but hey 2 million a year is a lot of money.

Now there's no way those sort of dollars are being paid for the likes of Noel Cleal but let's face it, would you take the money.

Of course you would.

It's sad (bloody sad really) but life will go on.

Ok , when you are talking those figures, yes it makes a difference but when you are squabbling over 150,000 bucks then that is a different story. Most of it will go in tax anyways and then when you factor in the costs of travelling to and from the Bankstown area, the benefit is negligable.
