Tahu Out!!! O'Davis and Doogs to re-sign.

Just heard on the news that Tahu is out for the game against the Goosters. In the same report they said Mark Sargent expects O’Davis, and Doogs to re-sign with the club for next year before they leave for Sydney this afternoon.

Thats great news. (About Doogs & Robbie not Tahu )

I think that this will really heap the team unite before our big game tomorrow.

It's great to hear that Robbie O'Davis & Adam MacDougall are expected to re-sign with our club this afternoon & to end once & for all speculations that they are leaving or still have an uncertain future (I hope they have re-signed already ;-) ).

That's really good bout doogs and robbie o, but how bad is tahu's injury, will it keep him out for the tour, or til when?

Doogs always seemed very keen to stay - I think the Knights would have to be naive not to see a bargain there.

As for O'Davis - he is an experienced and quality player. He could easily move elsewhere and command a decent salary, especially if he wanted to move to England. Greener pastures, more money - it must seem slightly attractive.

But I think he likes playing for Newcastle better, and for personal reasons doesn't want to leave - I think he would rather stay here than retire elsewhere. You spend 10 years at a club, little wonder he is reluctant to leave, but equally reluctant to stay.

The dilemma facing experienced players is that they feel they should be deserving of a bigger contract for loyalty reasons, but when faced with the figures they then tell themselves that they don't want to leave anyway.

Sounds like they're both staying - so is Quigley apparently, despite suggestions on this forum that he had already decided and signed to leave.

Quigley's fate was decided a couple of weeks ago, Wayne Bennett decided to stick with the Hooking personel he already had, so the Knights offered Quigs to stay here so he could keep a first grade profile, and move on next season, if nothing else presents itself before then.
