Quote: Bullet "Regards Goldy I said it at the time and incurred criticism and I will say it again. That being that the contract we gave him was absolutely stupid and one of the worst we have given.
He was fully committed to the club, giving his all and certainly not without a modicum of ability, despite some obvious flaws also. He was definitely worth a contract. However put it into context. He was a squad player in Australia, no more and was hardly, and never will be anywhere near international standard.
So what do we do, we go give him an international type contract way above what he is worth, but even worse for an unbelievable stupid four years, putting him smack bang into the comfort zone. And unfortunately he is one of the last players you want to put in the comfort zone.
Look carefully and you will see he has developed a little paunch, his fitness levels have dropped as stated by a few at the club and he is no longer the best trainer, which he was prior to his new contract. I think you will find he is doing quite a bit of 'boozing' since.
I honestly think if we had given him a two year contract and one more in keeping with his true worth, we would have been seeing a much better and committed player right now.
Unfortunately too many fell for his off field hype and personna rather than his actual on field playing worth.'"
Think 4 year deals in RL are stupid, unlike foorball, most rugby league players dont have or only have a small sell on value.
