All this fuss for a player that hasn't even played FG yet.
I remember a similar outburst many years ago when we lost the best back in the SG Ball. Matthew Wright.
That never came back to haunt us.
Lets see how this one plays out.[/QUOTE

Agreed.

It could come back to haunt us ala Damien Cook or it won’t register a blip on the radar ala Seijka

Oh No!!! Could be as big a loss as Masada Iosefa!!.

Oh, that's right - he wasn't...

Damien Cook was a musical chairs footballer. Wherever he was when the music stopped (ie he came good) won the prize. Dragons and Bulldogs came after us, and the Rabbitohs had to pick up Robbie Farah because Cook was not yet a first grader at 25. It was similar with Cody Walker.

Thing with both them. Continued to develop in NSW Cup something current guys won’t have

The question is how long after debuting for us do we release him to go to another club?

Turns out we do it before he debuts for us. Good call though.

We had too many backrowers. It was always going to happen just a bad timing of a few things made it happen before he could debut

Yes, its tough for anyone outside the top 30.

Those that have experience you know can handle it. Others not so but I see barely anyone getting dropped across the league as a result

Sivo never played first grade with us and we saw how that turned out

One good year doesn’t make a career. Again too soon to see if keeping To’o was the better choice

That doesn't mean every promising rookie who doesn't play FG here will be a star elsewhere.
There has been a heap that have left and haven't even made the grade elsewhere.

Lets see how this one plays out.

No question of Blore's talent. He was one I am sure the club wanted to keep. I believe he was off contract end of this season.
He was released because he was extremely unlikely to play fg this year and he had a good opportunity to secure a longer deal somewhere else.
It was done in his best interests. Not the clubs.

I did wonder if the contract for next year was part of the decision to let him go early

Any impact on his brothers contract?

 

[franklin2323]

Any impact on his brothers contract?

Brendan Hands is the better option. Hopefully he gets Dean’s contract if he follows him

 

[Blade23]

They only kept him because of his brother.

 

[Fangs]

They only kept him because of his brother.

That was my assumption. Not really what we should be doing.

 

[betcats]

I speculated on this at the time.

I’m disappointed to see Shawn go despite the fact it’s in his best interest.

I am too but given the circumstances not a shock.

 

[Kilkenny]

We are all disappointed but that’s footy. Time to move on and hope we start the new season in winning fashion whomever it may be against.
