I've not read all of the previous posts

Regarding Cross, i posted weeks back that his non selection could possibly be a ploy to make him wish to move

Regarding Biff, as promising a player as he is, he was never going to fulfill that promise at the Rhinos, he has an apparent desire to join his brothers in OZ, whether he will move over there or sign for another SL club is now clearly in his own hands, lets hope that he hasn't put all of his eggs into one basket!

The interesting thing is why would we be prepared to release 2 players wages from our cap space in mid season?

Does this mean that we could have someone lined up or merely that both players weren't deemed likely to play again this season?

Quotes from management very telling regarding the situations. But we are all just guessing the quotes could just be spin from the club and bare no truth at all.


I think the bottom line is it's not the end of the world. We are losing the potential of burgess but we were always going to at the end of the year anyway

If by doing that it increases the chances of the team to improve - Yes

Did we stop working with Gareth Ellis when he said he was off to the NRL - No - did it bring results yes I think we won the GF in his last year!!!

This and the post you made afterwards seem to suggest you are comparing Burgess to Ellis or indeed a team's chances of success with a player of Burgess' capabilities to one with a player of Ellis's capabilities.

You're not are you?

read and contrast the quotes on Burgess and Cross

Talking up a player that we need to offload from an overlong contract? No ulterior motives there at all

Either Burgess has done something to upset GH or the loyalty policy has gone out the window

Not at all - it is about how you treat employees regardless of ability all employees should be treated with dignity. As the saying be kind on the way up because you are sure to meet them on the way down

Could the same not be said about employees attitude towards their employer? If, as it appears, Burgess has thrown his toys out of the pram should the club treat him in the same way as a player who did not?

There could be some spin on cross heard from alot of different people that cross issues have been off field discipline.

I'd heard that Mcdermott always finds someone that he doesnt get on with( a stool pidgeon)and makes it very hard for them and it looks like Burgess is it.This was from a players agent.
Also told that its Big Earl thats already signed for next year,but my source for this part could have got him mixed up with Griffin
