I'm almost resigned to the fact that we'll lose either Blake or Tim I just hope we don't lose both...

Agreed. It'd be silly to expose Blake to First Grade and then no resign him after he shows his worth. I can't see us losing Blake. Future captain of the club IMO.

A few hard decisions ahead. Right now if we have to match big coin to keep Timmy then I would switch priority to Blake.

why is that?? why cant we keep both?

because 3 in 2 don't fit and with Finch signed for next year both Blake and Tim are going to want that other pivot spot...

just my gut feeling but i could be wrong.

Not only have we wasted big $$$$ on Finch, but we are now in an inevitable situation where we will lose on of our future stars in exchange for a Flop. Its gotta piss ya off :x

exactly. put finch in premier league and play green and smith in first. its only for one more year. offload finch at the end of 08. if we keep both green and smith i dont care if we dont sign another player. we cant lose one of them becuase someone feels bad putting finch in premier league.

so you're trying to tell me that Hages will never drop Finch??? surely you wouldn't feel that precious and naive to believe that Finch or any other member of that side with the exception of a couple of notables aren't sackable???

The bizare thing out of all of this is we can probably afford to keep all 3 players, especially with Tahu leaving. Unfortunately all 3 want to play 1st grade.

And people wonder why we get upset with Finch not performing.

This is why!!

He may well send Finch back to premier league but that would me a huge waste. We paid good money for him and he wouldn't be in first grade. Some people may see that as an admission from Hagan that he doesn't know what he is doing with recruitment.

Selfish they are, especially if their form doesnt warrant a spot. :)

It will be interesting to see what eventuates with player form as much as player contracts over the next couple of weeks. ;-)

surely ou can't accuse them for being selfish if all they're doing is playing in a side which the coach had chosen them in??;-)

yes it will be intersting, can't help feeling that it may end in tears in some cases.

A smuch as it hurts me to say, I can definitely see Tim joining the broncos if the offer is reasonable. Playing inside arguably the greatest player in the game in Lockyer(with Joey gone) and under the most successful coach in the game would be extremely tempting for any young halfback. Look at the bronco's playing roster and it just makes it more appealing. Not to mention that he will be close to home. I suppose if the rumours are true he has a big decision to make.
