Stick to the original point Diego your like a bloody solicitor changing constantly what your saying
The point you made and I am debating is that you said we had to move 5 first graders on to get sam ......bullshit

Diego ur missing the point big time
You say they are all lost because of Sam which is bullshit
Nobody is questioning if the players bought in to replace them are better or worse
The point is from those players you listed only 1.wanted to stay the rest wanted to go even grant as was offered starting not from bench

Mcqueen, grant and walker where contacted. We could have kept them if we wanted (maguire especially wanted to keep walker). If mcqueen and Grant weren't moved on because of sam then why are we paying most of their contracts at a new club?
Stewart and luke left, but instead of using that money wisely on a couple of back rowers and a real hooker, we saved it for sam, and it still cost us extra players to fit him in. 5-1 equals more duds in the 1st grade side

McQueen was not in form since 14,
Grant was lucky to get a bench spot and walker was a drug abuser
Of course madge wanted to keep dylan he is a gun but the board makes these decisions not the coach and they had enough of him being a f wit

The rumours of Manly were rife well before he overdosed.

i read this on facebook:

I hear from a reliable source there will be a massive clean out at seasons end. This includes playing and coaching staff. Madge is safe but not sure about Wrigley, Collins and Penna. Our training staff will also be scrutinized. Mark Ellison is the new recruitment officer.
The salary cap is going up to $7.2mil next year and we have a total of 14 players off contract but I believe Clark is on the verge of re-signing.

Yet they kept gray..
Grant is better then tyrell.
Mcqueen would of kept pressure on turner. Turner is basically a walk up first grader this year thanks to no depth. Might of lost Stewart anyway but could of got a couple of back rowers for his price.
Say we still lost Luke and Stewart, but signed a real hooker ( for arguments sake let's say we picked up a heavily discounted farah as the rumours at the time said we would) we also pick up taupau (as runoured) and a cheapish 2nd rower ( a tom symonds type). Then we'd current have a pack that looks like
T.Burgess
Farah
Grant
Sutton
Mcqueen
Tapau

Mcinnes
Symonds
Brown
Clark

Injured- Musgrove, g.burgess
Suspended- carter
Depth- tyrell, turner, Grevsmuhl (maybe we could of kept him in these conditions) gowielski

Instead we have
Tyrell
Mcinnes
T.burgess
Turner
Carter
S.burgess

Cook
Gowielski
Brown
Clark

Suspended- carter
Injured- Musgrove g.burgess
Depth- are you f**king kidding?

And at least in the 1st scenario we'd be in a position to hit the market. In our current situation it is almost impossible with so much money tied up in sam and 2 overpaid and underperforming twins (who it is now impossible to move on)

Bottom line, don't complaim about all the duds in the team if you want to cheer on sams return. You don't have one without the other

but we don't even know how much sam is on. maybe the problem is that some of the not so good players are on too much coin, when they should be on the minimum wage.

Stewart's departure was announced before the season even ended wasn't it?

In the later rounds. Though it was runoured souths and sam were already in secret talks. It was supposedly rusty texting sam during the gf 'that could of been us' that really sparked things on
