I think Moa showed today at the BBQ what qualities we have been lacking at FC or a long time - A character the fans can identify with. If we lose him to sign an injury plauged Aussie utility back, I'll be gutted.
It will also be [ianother[/i PR own goal from the club.

You just know we are going to sign a donut and let Sam go................

Perhaps a crock Aussie, over the hill and wanting a tidy wedge to top up his pension fund

Sorry, but if you spend a season bringing him on spending time , money and resources on him and can now see he could very well be the real deal and then you let him go.

Is criminal ................and sends out all the wrong messages and I bet some clubs are creaming.

Totally agree. We could lose a long term prospect like Moa, for the sake of keeping Cusack for one more year.
Poor retention from the club again.

If we catch him he's too slow anyway

Oh, and the dobbins sniffing around Moa

Goodness me thats a little bit strong. Whilst I apreciate some on here like Sam. If and I accept its a big IF the club come in with a big name signing then will you really be that upset that Sam has been told thanks but no thanks. He has not exactly set the world on fire yet. OK he has potential but have we really seen the full extent of that potential or have we just seen a player who has a bit of pride when he plays unlike the majority who have been playing around him this year.?

I recall all the outrage when Dean Treaster was released for Swain. Look what happened after that.

At times like this when we are about to cull half a squad we have to attempt to trust the ones in charge. That said I feel the biggest mistake was letting Yak have another year. Withou that I am sure your wish would be granted, but we now have to live with that.

I've just appreciated watching someone play with a bit of pride in the shirt this year. And someone who obviously wants to play for the club. Not been many of those players this year.

Well lets see who this "big name signing is" and if he actually comes. It would be typical for him to turn us down and for us to lose Sam too.

Agree with you about Cusack.

Does anyone actually have any idea who the club are chasing? I heard Richard Agar in the post match conference on Friday saying that they were trying to bring in some pace and finesse but the rumour mill has been pretty quiet.

It'd be a shame to lose big Sam (especially as he's likely to go to Rovers) and it really would have to be a big back signing to offset that loss.

Be amazed if he did

If he were to go to Rovers it would be adding insult to injury but do they have the money or a quota place for him anyway?

Agreed. Get the lad signed up.

I'd like to see Moa stay but if we can sign a provn overseas player then it is hard to argue against it. Depending on who it is and what position they play.
