Worst thing your club ever did was to let go Ennis, Hannant, Stagg and Boyd to sign Israel...... Absolutely pathetic.
Israel is good but now you's have nothing in the front row except for Kenny who's solid but no star.
I cant even for the life of me think who ur hooker is at the moment.
Stagg was ur glue.
And Boyd was a huge talent.
Calling for Henjak to be sacked is harsh fully fit u's have a decent roster, but with all your injuries you's are lucky to have 17 to field a team.
Taylor and Ennis possibly Stagg would of stayed if we knew Hunt (the money we left aside for him 400k) wasn't going to flip and go to AFL. We would of upgraded their existing contracts. Hunt left it so long and the Broncos were so sure he would stay that the other players had to find another place or settle for the same money as what they were one and probably not then worth.
Boyd left to follow Bennett he made that quite clear.
Hannant is a money hungry whore, he is asking for $450,000 form the broncos or titans cause he is "homesick" but he is on $300,000 at the bulldogs so you can't say he is homesick or he would be willing to sacrifice a bit to come home or at least seek the same deal. My bet would be he thought he was going to get back into a Brisbane side desperate for a decent prop and would pay for it. now he has limited himself to 2 clubs that neither will pay that much for. :lol:
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal that the Queensland and Australia front-rower shopped himself to both the Brisbane Broncos and Gold Coast Titans for $450,000 a season after he told the Bulldogs he wanted out of his $300,000-a-year deal because his family wanted to return home.
The Sunday Telegraph has also discovered that Hannant asked for a bonus for making the Australian team just months before fronting Greenberg and asking for a release.
"He asked the club if he had a rep bonus in his contract," a Bulldogs source said.
"But he did the deal himself without a manager and did not have a clause inserted. The Bulldogs told him they paid him overs when they signed him in anticipation of him becoming an Australian player."
After returning from the tour, Hannant, who has never had a manager, signed powerful player agent George Mimis to help broker a deal.
In the end Izzy would of made some difference but Hunt set us back in recruitment, Clinton was out of form and then left, Sis being on the outer with Henjak are 2 other reasons why our pack isn't what we anticipated at the start of the year. If we had Hunt and our current full strength backline Ivan wouldn't even be in this mess.
