Josh Cubillo explores his football options

[Wedgie]

I find it all very bemusing that its now the coaches fault, considering it was your coach and co that discovered this talented kid in Darwin and brought him to Adelaide.
Furthermore I have heard as well Norths helped him out with his education as well, the lad played in the losing grand final so he has had all the opportunites a kid could hope for.
He is rated easily in Norths best 21 but this lad or through some advisers has got greedy and put himself out to the market as well as the three blokes from Sturts who have deliberately gone behind Norths back approaching this lad.

When a club (Norths in this case), invest so much in a lad, bringing to this state, helping him with his education and accomadation get shafted like this, there should be some process in place to recooperate some of the time and money invested in him.

Norths fans, this is not about your coach or coaches etc, its about a lad who has got greedy and been approached the wrong way by Sturts, so get of the Jarman bashing and face facts that this KID has shafted your club. It's also the Sturt Football Club, all they had to do was ask for permission to talk to Josh C, this was not done.

I find it all very bemusing that you haven't even read about what you're commenting on , you may actually want to go back and read the posts again mate, no North fan blamed the coach and the person who brought up the coach was a Sturt supporter and we answered a few questions for him. Why do people just blindly post on imaginery things at times?

Mind you Jars not playing him in the middle would be one of the reasons he might be packing his bags.
I think the club was a bit premature in announcing this on its website considering he was still training at Prospect on Monday.
I also think there's various factors to be blamed:
1) minimal room to move under the cap
2) North's policy of rewarding long term players with the better contracts
3) Josh wanting a crack at the AFL and feeling he can best do this by playing in the middle
4) North's recruitment of more midfielders

Time for Centrals to get one back on North in my opinion.

[Punk Rooster]

blue boy, i seem to recall i or some other blues man on here pointed to db.org for all the results, some on are just too lazy on here to look for the info themselves.
fk em

AFter you guys so graciously invited me, I did look, and the most interesting thing I found was one of your female fans describing the diversification in her love life.

Rushby, could you pls provide a link?

[Dutchy]

Anyone told him that he has to provide his own Footy at Sturt?

would have thought its a fair point if he is chasing coin?

[Rucciangelo]

If he is chasing coin perhaps he'd be better off at Glenelg!
I'm sure they could offer him plenty of shares in retirement villages!

P.S. How many players does Sturt have aged over 30?

[Rucciangelo]

Rushby...I'll be here all week!
Get your own material!

[Rucciangelo]

I think Rushby you're not quite getting my gag!
It's a bit more cryptic than you think!
Now get your thinking cap on.

I for one as a North fan am fed up with Jarman. 4 years in a row I've had to scrap up a airfare to get back to Adelaide just so I can watch the finals Not like the good old days under Hart and McDermott.

Huh?

[Rucciangelo]

Righto this is how it is...If Josh Cubillo is such a "required player" at NAFC, why then in the middle of January is he still un-contracted by NAFC?
Chew them apples!

p.s I agree with you on the Huh? Wedgie!

[Wedgie]

Agreed, and why when he still trained on Monday would North issue such a statement on their official site like the one they did?

Anyone could probably talk to Josh if his contract expired on December 31 but as I understand no direct talk has been had with Josh from any other club as Sturt were good enough to still ask permission of North despite it being not required. As I understand it North than said to Sturt "No, you can't talk to him, he's a required player".

I also understand that Sturt had a crack at him when he first came down to play but Josh opted to play for North as friends were there, Sturt told Josh and his family that if anything changed in the future to seek them out. Sturt's CEO Stuart Totham and Josh's dad went to school together so there may be some talk between them but there's nothing wrong with them.

I commend Sturt for the way they've acted and if they do eventually get Josh good luck to them and Josh I say.
