She said the week before he would be Gold Coast's next coach, hence the back down/pedal.

Good move in my opinion.


Good move, our club rarely makes an error in this department.

Waiting on Caro's apology.

Hansen gone, Thomas, Waite, Thompson, Swallow must all be facing the chop or at very least minimum salaries in 2018, will free up another $1.5m+.

Still think we can't fit both guns in?


Probably fit 3 in, but can you convince them to go there beyond the cash alone and play in an U10's side?

Well if 3 guns sign on, there's at least 2 other guns they're gonna play with.

Lol, bagged last year for too many old blokes, now they're an U10's side? :lol:
They couldn't possibly have the wretched run with injuries next year like they've had the previous 2 seasons.
I'll post what our R1 side next year could look like a little later on, it won't look anything like last weeks side.

Absolutely and this is the result. Held onto too many blokes 28-30+ who weren't going to take you forward and now in two years you're going to move on a list that already includes Petrie, Harvey, Dal Santo, Firrito, Nahas, Wells, Black and this year it might be Waite, Thompson, Swallow, Thomas and more. Bad list management 2 years ago has left you with a sand pit full of kids trying to move ahead.

It's not that cut & dry, less than 2 years ago they were 4 kicks from the Grand Final.

Good list management is always looking ahead not looking at what just happened. Standing still = going backwards fast in this competition.

If North miss out on Dusty and Kelly I wonder what Brad will think about re-signing


I'm sure he would have signed on again thinking they had one or both already on the board

I reckon he might've known one way or the other before he signed on.

Yeah this club is in for 10+ years of pain if it can't even buy two players for massive overs...

There's a point where the money doesn't compensate for the pain.
