Players always say that sort of shit. Cooper Cronk came out saying a heap of shit about how he wanted to play with Mitchell Pearce and it being a selling point.
But all along everyone knew it was pretty much the end of Pearce. Cronk has been ruining his rep career for years and now took his club spot.
How many players are going to come out and say its a terrible signing, i hate that merkin, he's going to destroy this club. Outside of Nathan Peats joking about it online, you will only ever see players talking positively about these things.
It wouldnt matter if it were Pearce, Maloney or Walsh coming. Last year we had players talking up the TMM and Cleary combination.
