Quote: RDM "You won't find anyone agreeing more than me that if is the biggest word in the English language & Friday's result was chip paper on Saturday. The future is all that really matters & the simple fact is that JD is not the future. Some have criticised the signing of Newton because "he's too old" but he's 3 years younger than JD.
If JD was with (say) the Bulls now - giving the sort of performance he's given for us over the years - and we were considering signing him for one last hurrah next year, there'd be no end of the posts criticising such a signing. In the era of the salary cap, there is simply no room for giving contracts for sentimental reasons. JD has been a fantastic servant to the club, but we need to have a squad in 2010 that is better than this year's and provides a sound foundation for the squad in 2011 & beyond. I'd love to see JD continuing to be involved with the club - just not as part of the playing staff.'"
he is already signed for next year based on his ability .
