Langley has been a good player for a long time, however, from a business perspective the correct decision has been made. Donaldson is still a developing player, one you would hope would be a foundation piece for the Bulls when they are equipped and ready to contend again. With his age and injury record, the same probably cannot be said for Jamie, despite what a solid pro he has been.

If it's simply down to fund allocation then it's always the right move to keep the younger guy, especially when an organization is in a rebuilding phase. Hopefully some cap space would be freed up by the departure of Langley which could be put to good use in bolstering a thin squad.

You rightly say that we do not have the information about the players that the coaching staff have.
They train and test the players on a daily basis & are aware of their physical and mental application.
Decisions about retention or term of contract will be for them to make. That's their job.
We must rely on them to make the right decisions for the club.

Further we do not know the salaries of each player nor their expectations at the Bulls or offers from elsewhere.
We do not know for sure what the playing budget was for this year nor know what it will be in 2014, 2015
Whatever it is then management must work within this constraint to do its best in recruiting players. That's their job.
We must rely on OK to create finances to put a competitive team on the field and make the right decisions on how money is spent.

Don't see why Langley is linked to who plays centre, especially after todays claim that we have full cap available.

How do you know FC is looking at improving the back line? We've signed 2 forwards and we have Potentially up to 4 departures in the backs.

Sorry if I'm sounding like ME lately, but with Donno getting a 1 year offer and Langley getting no offer it looks to me as if FC doesn't know what he's doing. I'll give him a fair chance next season with his own squad, but I will be very sad if Langley or Donno go, never mind both.

Possibly done to suggest to the supporters you tried to keep him,as i believe he is heading over to Hull.

Not one I've heard yet, but I'll be disappointed wherever he ends up if he's not staying with us.

You don't sound like me he thinks langley's crap
