Yes I know but a proportion would be better than nothing.
As far as having no dual reg agreement, I didn't realise that, sorry.
In all fairness DC this is a rugby league forum and I think its fair game to pass comment on the ability of players providing it sticks to that. I also think its OK for humble supporters to express their views on such matters even if they are not a coach or have never made a living out of playing.. We pay to watch so why can't we have our say ?
Last but not least Vince Mellors had contract length the same as Foxy and we got out of that so it can done.

| I'm ok with Foxy. His mistakes are more evident than most others because of his position but on balance he gives the team a lot.
He doesn't let 2 tries in for every 1 he scores as some say.
Comparing his mistakes to his try rate is not a fair comparison.
His work getting us off our own try line is up there with the best which in the long run saves tries by relieving pressure or saves the forwards work so they can do the hard work in the middle or often sets up our next attack.
He's not perfect but I'd rather work on fixing up his frailties than knocking his confidence further.
He isn't guaranteed a place but we haven't got any better right now.

I'm not against passing comment. I've always been open to solutions I may not have seen. Hence why I asked the question.
I will defend the players we have though. And if he's good enough for Danny k, he's good enough for me.
And we'd get about 20% of a players wage in loan payments. When you have a thin squad to start with, I think this is a very risky call.

Jeez - so now I'm not a supporter and I said he let in 2 tries for every one scored!!!
I am not for packing off players, but I will stick to my assertion that he is fallible and was poor for much of last season.
Merry Christmas!

| We have who we have. Let's just get behind all of them and show some of our 'Never Say Die' spirit that has kept us in Super League.
Irrespective of personal opinions this is an important season when club/clubs may be relegated, so let's back all the blokes who pull the shirt on.

Do you need me to put your rattle back in your pram?
I didn't say you weren't a supporter.
I tried to explain that in my opinion his mistakes are not as much of an impact as some imply.
I think, but I'll check to make sure, that I'm allowed an opinion that is different to yours.

Sums it up well for me. Foxy would certainly start forme his enthusiasm and commitment to the team is unquestionable. Any player can lose their way a bit but most come good - looking forward to seeing him score tries again. Merry xmas all!

| Think we have been over this topic about Fox being vulnerable under the bomb too much.
Simple solution is to give him more protection and don't leave him isolated.
Get bodies around him to put off the chases.
