Quote kristian="kristian"This Sam Moa contract situation reminds me of a few years ago when we brought Dean Triester over mid way through the 2002/3?? season, was an absoloute fantastic player in his time over here with us and many fans were disapointed we didnt offer him a new deal even though we had a certain Mr Swain lined up.
So hopefully if the board/Agar dont decide to keep big Sam we have someone lined up who can come into the club and make an impact like Swainy did.'"
As far as I remember, we were willing to but he wasn't happy to play second fiddle. I recall McRae saying he wanted to talk positions with Triester, seemingly hinting he could even have a shot in the halves.
I do think Moa should only be released for a player of Swain's stature though, otherwise it's not worthwhile IMO.
