Another example of a player paid way over what he is worth and gets paid no matter how he performs. We have to go back to incentive contracts its way out of control but player managers have too much power at present. A big problem for the game going forward.Packer played like shit the second he signed for the tigers
His body is Busted
Just the type of signing we will make
Good luck to Jacob & I’m sure both JD and Ben Hornby are well aware of his talent & that he was totally screwed & wasted by the ex Peanut of a coach.Host to the bunnies 2 years.
Are we going to have enough to field a team next year let alone sign anyone.
Disaapointed with this.Good luck to Jacob & I’m sure both JD and Ben Hornby are well aware of his talent & that he was totally screwed & wasted by the ex Peanut of a coach.
He made some massive mistakes the biggest being Norman imo but he also signed Ramsey, Sullivan, the Feagai boys etc.Well I'm hoping that Millward's time as recruitment/retention/pathways and list management Dirctor at the Dragons ends tomorrow and Griffin signs more professional staff to do these duties.
Leilua would have been perfect to replace Friz.Sad to see Host go but I guess they had to make a choice between Ford and Host the former being 22 against Host at 24. I would say that Ford is faster and more aerobic and makes more metres and is slightly better defensively whereas Host has a better try scoring ability of 5 vs Ford 1 and runs with more thrust. If we had appointed Demitriou and Hornby coaches we probably would have kept Host and Leilua who were both standout in the Under 20's. The Dragons Roster is in a mess which will get worse.0
Be surprised if it came down to age or even recruitment. I’d point to coaching and here he’s in the negative (McGregor) or the unknown (Griffin) He’s had the lived experience of Hornby and Demetriou and now Bennett as well. Understand his perspective.Sad to see Host go but I guess they had to make a choice between Ford and Host the former being 22 against Host at 24.

Why let Host go the guy has never really been given a fair go by the idiots we had running the team.
Millward is a goose and the sooner he is gone the better.He has really stuffed the balance of of playing roster.
Ford has shown me zero to get excited about. Loves a good jersey grab too like under 12’s footy. I’d take Host over Ford everyday of the weekSad to see Host go but I guess they had to make a choice between Ford and Host the former being 22 against Host at 24.

Is Garner from the Tigers still rumoured to be leaving? I think he looks like a solid young player. Mind you why not keep Host if we were looking for a player like that
Just as someone has already said, will we have a team to play for us next year? I mean a real team.
Players leaving is fine, but who is left on the market that are better than the ones leaving? I don't want like for like. I want better than like. Where are they now?
