Most of them were crap and the players that have kicked on did so due to positional change (hello Mason Wood).Quote:

Agree they had a lot of crap, but getting rid of 14 players in one go was a mistake.Quote:

Fully back that if that’s the clubs stance. We won’t get anything close to what we paid so he’s got no real value. While if something happens to Tim or a KPF, he’s got more to offer than club as a reserve big man than an average pick and some cap relief. So ask away Rory, but the club should absolutely not agree unless it’s a good deal for us.Quote:

Bye Rory.
I’m not sure anyone would take him having to take on two years salary at our club, personally we need him the next 4 weeks at least, I hope he plays.Quote:

He obviously has some talent but does not live upto his own hype. Really there is a position within our team if he wants it but he just doesn’t want it enough. Maybe Collingwood or a North is the answer.Quote:

Burning two seconds round picks on him also sucks.
I doubt he's with us next season.
Only way I see it happening is if Tim walks and he's our #1 Ruck.Quote:
