Steve Turner released, staying in Melbourne

[DeeGan]

yeah but that's probably not what he really thinks about them but he didn't want to stoop to Searle's level. All of those that are saying Turner's nothing special, he scored 18 tries last year and that was out of his then favoured position of full back.

Turner did his job at wing and fullback very well - he is not IMO classed as "special".

Putting him in the class of Inglis and co. is wrong.

Scoring 18 trie was a great feat, though it was his job on the end of a pretty classy backline ;-)

So are saying that Waldron is making it up?

Only you are putting him in Inglis' class, your determination whats special and what isnt may not be someone elses

 

[Willow]

As opposed to the Titans acting like spiolt school girls. I know which method I am more respectful of.

But Waldron said the Titans were professional throughout, so your CEO disagrees with you.

What can he say????

Humble in Victory eh? :badgrin:

:sch:

More like humility in defeat.
Last time I checked, it was the Storm who were parting with the readies. Referred to as compensation, and acknowledgement that Turner was contracted to the Titans.

So are saying that Waldron is making it up?

no he's being diplomatic.

 

[Willow]

Right, so you're saying he's not being entirely truthful?

Let me put it this way, do you think that Searle and the Titans have acted in a professional manner?

 

[lotti]

no I don't, bad mouthing the Storm in the press.

 

[innsaneink]

:lol:

Agree, I did add an "IMO" in there - perhaps I should have reiterated the point.

Each to their own.

As much as I like Steve Turner, does anyone really think he is a "special" player?

 

[Willow]

OK lotti, so you disagree with Waldron.

Just wanted to get that clear.

You should learn to read better then.

Steve Turner is parting with the readies and the Storm are getting their player.

 

[UndertakerMike]

Really no one will ever know what was said behind closed doors and by whom in the negotiating process.

Anyone who says they do is an idiot of the highest order.

I'm begining to like proving you wrong.

It is believed Melbourne will stump up the $85,000 to the Titans, but Turner will pay back the sum to Storm.

No need to apologise to me as I'm not taking it that seriously anyway now ST is back with the team most top players want to play for. ;-)

:sch:

 

[lotti]

wasn't he one of the reasons Melbourne was minor premiers last year Mike? Of course towards the end of the season he was a tad distracted and not just by the Turner Saga.

 

[UndertakerMike]

STFU Lotti FFS :roll:

 

[lotti]

what you didn't see the picture of Kate? And I said one of the reasons, Melbourne had a few others like Greg Inglis.

 

[Willow]

You should learn to read better then.

I was going to suggest you do the same:

"We would also like to acknowledged that throughout this period Michael Searle and the Titans have acted in a professional manner, for which we are appreciative".

On the contrary, I asked earlier in the thread for clarification. Post # 191.

At the time the reports were saying the Storm were paying the $ and juniors. Which they are. Only now there is a report which says it is 'believed' that Turner will pay it back.

In fact, I said I'd be happy to be shown another report if one became available.

Thanks, but you're not proving anyone wrong. But hey, if that makes you feel taller tonight, then good for you.

 

[lotti]

I think Mike means read between the lines, you know what Waldron isn't saying I don't think he liked what Searle said about him in the media.

 

[Willow]

They're big boys lotti. Waldron was hardly perfect in his public commentary.
I suspect they shook hands and made up afterwards.
