Quote: Saddened! "Wow, strange announcement. Seems to me from that wording that the club hasn't been involved with the diagnosis of retirement required and that it has come from Lance himself.
He's been on the periphery of things and IMO McManus was to blame for a panic signing that was a classic square peg round hole scenario.
This will definitely free up the cap space to do something in terms of a replacement. I'd be happy with McDonnell as rumoured, but if he's currently without a club, I'd expect him to be on very little money. So with Jones rumoured to be leaving shortly, does that leave room for another signing? IMO it should.'"
McDonnell is at Wests not unattached. Jones is not going to be on a lot of money at all.
Shame lance came to his end in this manner, I do agree I find the statement quite strange and abrupt. All the best lance, enjoy the GF ring!
