What shambles?..McKinnon going because he is homesick and Manu going for more money.Nothing really out the ordinary is it?.

Can't agree that him going home 10 games into a 3 year deal isn't a shambles, it is. Most players at least see out the season.

Hardly the club turning into a shambles though, is it? Misfortunate, yes, but nothing we can do about it.

Damn we are all doomed.Wish we had of signed Gareth Ellis a year early now.

So if mckinnon stayed but didn't put 100% effort in because he didn't want to be here thats ok then?

If players dont want to be here we might as well let them go hardly a shambles

Worked out rather well for us.

Allegedly on a high salary, and the previous regime gave him a 3 year contract at 31.

We should only give 3 year deals for a 30+ player, only if they are exceptional.

With Manu,McKinnon,O'Meley leaving, Gentle has now room on the cap to shape the side,as he wants.

if he's asked to leave does this free up his full salary then or how does it work.

Hoffman was homesick all last year, didn't give less than 100% though. We should have told him he wasn't leaving until the end of the year.

Why?.... He is homesick.He won't be the first and he wont be the last overseas signing to leave early. because they find it hard to settle.

I would have thought so as it was his choice to leave.

Good chance we will see a NRL mid season signing.

You have no idea if the situations are he same, was hoffmans wife on the other side of the world.

No problem now as we have signed a very exciting replacement even if it might only be short term.

Can't see us getting his full salary back, if any at all.

Really? I thought Hoffman looked half the player last year compared to how he's playing this year.
