Wing Signs with Souths 4 Year Deal

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

are you ever going critisize Roosters management seriously every release over the last couple of weeks you've made it out like nothing is wrong and the players were sh*t.

The Roosters could release Minichellio, Anasta, Solioa, Sa, Myles and Tupou and you'd still find a way to make it look like the players were cra* and the Roosters wanted to get rid of them

why, you can't come up with one argument against my reason for the previous depatures, wings time has come and it's time to move on, what's your point? worry bout your own club and not my opinions

if the roosters released anasta and soliola, i wouldn't give a sh*t, they released wing to keep the others you mentioned and i never said the others were crap i said they had people in front of them which is why they were released after you and others made it look like something it wasn't

Exactly, people are just itching for Rooster fans to turn on our own club, as they do every time they dislike a decision their clubs make. Fact is, every decision Roosters have made this year has been the right one. The only contentious one was Soward and I think he's proving at the moment that letting him go was the right decision.

4 years is ridiculous for a player who hasn't seen good form since 04. He isn't a half either, sure he won a premiership there, but he's always been a better hooker.

something parramatta fans know all about :lol:

all the players who have switched club this year were all released because they lost their spots or didn't gain them at all, except for flannery, but he is no loss, they were all at the bottom of the pecking order and soward spat the dummy because pearce was elevated above him, and while pearce has done some sh*tty things sticking by him was the right thing to do, what were they going to do hurri, be a darryl brohman and play PL all their career? i wish them luck and never said they're sh*t but they just had no hope of regular footy, i still fail to see how releasing them was bad, from a depth point of view yes, but who are we to stand in the way of players careers? look at it that way, we did right by them

It's quite clear why Wing took the 4 year guanteed deal over the 2 and 2 year deal. He isn't confident that he'd be playing well enough in 2 years time to be able to negotiate a better deal for himself for the next 2. If he isn't confident then it's a good decision.

He'll be 28 or 29 by then and what makes him a good player now (his athleticism) will have waned somewhat and then his lack of a footballing brain will have been shown up.

Great player a few years back...good player now.

Sad to see him go, but life will go on.

P.S It's a shame he had to go and sully his good reputation though by throwing that filthy green and red jersey on. It's a blight on his good character. tsk tsk...oh well you live and learn.

Good luck to Wing - a 4 year contract for a guy who hasn't shown his best in 2 years (at least) is a great pick up.

Ballsy move by Souths - I'll back he's out of there in a few years and playing in England.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

^^ wing will be gone in 2 years, notice he said "last contract in australia" he'll ditch his contract

Wing was born in Dec 1979.
He will be approaching 32 when his contract expires.

I meant at the 2 year mark in the proposed Roosters 2 & 2 year deal.

I thought he was born in '80 though. Well that just backs up my point further.

According to the Roosters website he was born on Boxing Day in 1980.

 

[Mr Saab]

Roosters website is wrong.
1979

Roosters hooker Craig Wing has advised club Chairman Nick Politis that he will be leaving the Roosters at the end of the season and taking up a 4 year contract with South Sydney.

No word from Souths yet,He has not signed but will sign?????
Could do a last minute backflip

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

he was 18 when he debuted in 98 making it 79 his date of birth

 

[brooksy19]

Saab, your reckon its a good signing for the bunnies ?

I dunno bout 4 years of cap being taken up, but his experience will be invaluable for their junior halves/hookers.

 

[Mr Saab]

Great signing for them.
Play him at halfback or hooker...new lease of life, back "home".
Happy for the mixamatosis crew.
4 yrs is risky, but Souths still have to do this to attract players.

they are supposedly announcing tomorrow and are supposedly upset we've broken the news before them, which is logical

Imagine having to look at this all the time.

Poor Bunnies.
