I will find the story later. Moylan said he was told to leave. The debut led to him staying.

The Bryce point is a good one. We don't know if the new coach coming in won't want to change guys positions...

So there will be changes
I know the story. Gus snd Ivan werent sold on him until after his debut. No doubt due to his poor work ethic off the field.

After a single game though he was Ivans fullback. He did not choose Whare or Naiqama over him.

The second tier salary cap was also stopped him getting a run earlier. He wasnt in the top 25.

Dragons slid a lot post Bennett, wether that was his fault or not I can’t say.

2010 premiers

Then in 2013 they were second last.

Two words: Steve Price.

And he said "hopeless wooden spooners for years afterwards". Happened to Newcastle because Bennett was given free reign to bring in who he wanted to try and jag a premiership quickly, so he bought in a bunch of old guys who bottomed out very, very quickly. Wouldn't happen here at all.

So what happens if ;
a) Ivan signs, but Nathan leaves,
b) Neither Cleary signs?
That just doesn't happen. Which is the most unfortunate thing about all this, we'll be paying high end dollar for Nathan Cleary, and he's not that great.

Why would we pay top dollar for Nathan? If we landed Ivan we have everything Nathan wants.

His mates are here. His dad would be here. He loves the club as it is.

here's a thought: if Cleary does come here ( hasn't been confirmed as yet) and we fail to make the finals next year is everyone going to say get rid of him( as many people were saying about hook since he was appointed)????

We would then be in a position to offer him the minimum salary. A nice saving to offset against the costs of the court case.

I didn't turn on Hook until 2017. Most were the same

Depending on the situation it would almost definitely be unacceptable
