To make it clear, I always predicted that Dugan would stay, and I mentioned that in an earlier comment yesterday. I was just worrying about that potential tug of war, and the risk of Dugan listening to his manager, who could have told him to earn the big bucks at the dogs and lift the trophy next year. The dogs are travelling along well; it's not as if it was a club like the Tigers or Eels that was reportedly interested, so of course I was a little worried, as I've seen too many backflips in sport to blissfully ignore it. He may may have said 'not to worry', but how am I supposed to associate a random person on a forum with credibility? I agree with your opinion that the Dogs rumour had no credibility too, I raised that issue in a comment yesterday as well. But the thing that got me worried is Barba's rumoured impending departure to the Broncos, which means that naturally the Dogs would look at top class alternatives like Dugan. Sorry I sound like a whinging pom, but I just thought that Steelman's 'I TOLD YOU SO WHY DIDN'T YOU LISTEN TO ME' attitude was silly.
