Jennings to the Roosters?

[franklin2323]

Really? When was the last time we lost 3 SOO or senior rep players in a season - assuming Jennings goes. Under Elliott I think we lost 2 - and that is precisely the point, it was Elliott.

Or when was the last time a star player was shopped around for 18 months with continued uncertainty weeks away from the start of a season? When did we last lose a home bred captain of the club, who was one of our best performers and who wanted desparately to stay but couldn't because he wasn't wanted but who had to suffer the turmoil of not even being told the truth of that and having to decipher for himself the meaning of the silent treatment and the unreasnable attitudes he was experiencing.

There is always change and often turmoil it is the nature of the game but when was the last time the main communications device of the club (read Panthers Den today) faced turmoil and hard times with information about having home-made pizza for dinner, photos of his boat on yowie bay, observations on the cricket or tennis, news about foxtel not working - you tell me in all this turmoil just wtf is the leader of the organisation doing???

I was saying Big Mick's thoughts are understandable. I have no idea the thoughts of the club

 

[franklin2323]

I guess I'm just willing to see how this all plays out and then pass judgement.

Right now noone knows what is going on and that is probably how they want it.

That's just why I'm having that attitude right now.

I hope I am wrong. I just fear another Gower departure. We should of used that money on a half but no. Paid overs for Woolnough, Tighe and got a prop.

As for the shop, Blackhole etc. It seems like they are doing it becuase the old management set it up. very strange

 

[darkbloom]

Oh! Sorry I thought you were saying that as a club we are always having to go through the sort of stuff we are now going through.

The big problem are the mixed messages was told he was not going.But it just will not go away. A press conference with Gould and jeniings is needed As the closer it gets to the start of the comp it will hurt both the roosters and penrith in there pre season planning

I dont think there is anyone out there does not agree that he is currently being well overpaid, but lets have a look at what we would be kicking out the door:

Granted it has not been a consistent display, but he is one of the best backs in the NRL.

Either way I just hope they sort this mess out quickly.

 

[betcats]

Either way I just wanted it sorted asap.

 

[hardbaby]

Just freeing up money for JT guys. It's a good thing...just not for this year.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Signed to Roosters on 4 year deal. Panthers just facebooked it.

[herbert henry1908]

Oh well , let's hope we don't have to pay much of his contract.

 

[darkbloom]

Well wasn't that a well executed plan showing extraordinary qualities in club leadership and management?

 

[HankScorpio]

He's already been removed from the Facebook advertising.

 

[Ausguy]

burn the farkin stands down.... fire up ffs

 

[Luke Bowden]

Well we better spend the money wisely, that's all I'm saying!

 

[Sleep]

I'm not going to blow my top, just know I'm very, very disappointed.

 

[Fibroman]

Should never have been paid that much money in the first place. $600k for a centre that is hot and cold = ridiculous. He should have been on no more than $350-400k. He'd still be with us if that was the case, as expectations wouldn't have been as high with the lower price tag attached.

 

[franklin2323]

No further comment"

Of course not. Why give fans an explanation as to why 3 weeks out from game 1 we need to release him. What an arrogant f**kwit Gould is.

 

[ashton]

Zac Mackay has been released

 

[HankScorpio]

Zac Mackay has been released

To Nth Qld apparently. Hmmm...

 

[franklin2323]

Oh! Sorry I thought you were saying that as a club we are always having to go through the sort of stuff we are now going through.

F**k no! I have no time for Gus.

How can someone with no management experience have total control over everything to do with the club??

We go through this sh!t because we have a jobs for the boys policy. Thid will end with an actual administrator as head of the club. Not a coach/commentator.
