Hunt has asked for a release

[TruSaint]

The Board was quite happy for the team to play Maryball and Hookball for so many years. Now it’s their turn to play, and Hardball comes to mind. Question is , do they know how to?

I get what you are saying mate.

If by hardball you mean " standing down a player into reserves until his contract is up ", then as much as i like it.. won't happen.

The media uproar would be off the charts and we would be seen as a vindictive lot, playing an international rep player in the reggies.

Hardball could also mean, getting a " like for like " player, or value at least. Where are those players? Do we really want a Club to release a player that has no desire to come to Saints just to make a point ?

Let him go.
Bank the money.
Tear the Integrity unit a new one publicly.
Give the new coach the reigns.
Move on.

No more self inflicted wounds.

None of this can happen Dave unless WE sign off on it

We will DD , something stupid will happen and we will get shafted. As I said before I'm not really keen on swap players that dont want to be at the Dragons, it will put us in this position again. I would however like a shitload of cash, which we probably wont get either.

so, roll over boys, it is pride month after all....

BH cannot be allowed to play another game for the Dragons, its embarrassing, he should never be allowed to come anywhere near our jumper again. See out this season enjoy the spoon and let Flanno put a complete broom through the place and engage some top shelf staff. I would like to see Carr stay but who knows.

It is all so simple. Just demand Hunt or his new Club (the one he is released to) pay out in full his contract or fulfill the term of his contract.

 

[Mojo]

I don't even know why he bothered to play against the Warriors ....... Was it to show he is doing it for his team mates ..... The sooner he goes the better ......

and sitting around looking all lost and sad. He's like a spoiled little boy. Pathetic.

I do agree Mojo, mind you I'm thinking his thoughts were "shit wait till they find out im going to the broncs to play 9"

2? It’s about 5 isn’t it?
Barrett, Widdop, Frizzell, McInness and now Hunt

Our problem over the past years comes down to coach selection. After 3 mistakes in a row what more do you expect.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Meninga was a big reason they signed Holbrook in the first place & wasn't consulted at all when they sacked him. He quit because of that.

Fair enough that may be the case.....but I find it staggering that a bloke with his clout wouldnt be consulted ......

If the NRL ‘ integrity commission ‘ cannot find any fault in this situation, any form of collusion between prospective clubs and Hunt or his agent , then there is something seriously wrong with the procedures involved in their investigation of this matter .

At the end of the day it is St.George Illawarra who loses on all counts , although Hunt is contracted to the Dragons and it would appear that he will be elsewhere very soon .

Regardless of how one looks at this injustice , there can be no doubt that the NRL integrity commission is nothing but a toothless tiger .

 

[shazam]

I just hate the thought of Hunt being the winner in all this BS

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Ive read everyones comments on here and still find it difficult to comprehend that we will get dudded after a bloke wants out with almost two and a half years left on his contract.....surely we hold all the cards.....if the media thinks we stink if we stop him, then they will still say we stink if we let him go especially to The Donkeys....the situation doesnt pull at my heart strings in regard to hes given his all to us and we should let him just walk away, imo that's whats expected of a marquee player thats been paid very handsome marquee money for a long time....what it willi show to the general public and Rugby League supporters is just how piss weak our mob are if they dont prevent him playing with the mob in Brisbane thats near the top of the table this season as well as decent compensation from the Tits

There’s a strange thing called karma, but it demands patience.
