I wouldn't put too much stock in what players tell you at this time of the year; it's a bit like judging the quality of a company by what a couple of blokes say about their manager in the staff canteen.

What players fail to point out when they cry neglect, is the involvement of their agents and their attempts to tout their clients services around to leverage a better deal.

It's never as straightforward as one side or the other will have you believe.

Personaly I would like to see Morrison stay and when he is on form Korki as well but we have to move on and the guys at the business end of the club have more idea than me, it is just that Morrison in particular gave 100% every time he turned out and was a credit to the club when he played for the exciles (not sure that is how you spell it)

Re: Staying or Going? : Tue Sep 27, 2011 4:50 pm  

Would keep Korki if it was well within budget. Props we are short of at mo. Would only be a one year to give him motivation to earning another year.

Lets get a few things right here.

1) Many players do not know there future with the Club & the Club have to tell them by the End of this Month, one way or the other.
2) Some meetings are taking place tomorrow, but players that will be having meetings at this time of the year are probably not in the Plans at the Club
3) Morrison is NOT Highly paid within the Club, there are many more on more money, as far as I am aware his meeting is tomorrow and will talk to the club but as I said above I don't think that he will be in the plans now, frustrating because he is one of the best and I know for a fact he would consider staying with pay cut or pay as you play structure or probably mixture of both.

I would have personally kept Morrison over Southern that's coming over, by all accounts, all he's done is play Reserves all year and nobody in Australia will offer him a contract because he's prone to Injuries. (Not sure how true that is but was told by someone I trust)

Looks like we have Signed : Kirmond, Releigh & Kyle Wood from Shudds & Smurph & Tommy Lee are going the other way.

Point 3 is not totally correct. I like Glenn a lot and would have offered him a new deal but he was highly paid and there weren;t more on better money

You should not really trust someone who knows naff all about NRL

Re: Staying or Going? : Tue Sep 27, 2011 6:12 pm  

Southern has hardly played 1st grade last 2 years. Not sure why, could be down to injuries and not been able to force his self into the side. He is however a very good player.

Oh come on, you have a cosy drink with him and you take his word verbatim. I can think of few players more adept at getting good deals for limited talent and questionable loyalty than Korkidas. This player has done exceptionally well out of Trinity and SL. If he's been treated like meat and he clearly has not it's Kobi beef. Please spare us the sob story, there are players in RL like there are people in all walks of life who get shafted, this individual IMO is more a shafter.

all of a sudden where at the bar wrong again

as for the sob story it aint, its an expression of that all players are treated like meat when they get to they used by date

just goes to so how wrong you can read into posts if you try

would I probably give a another year my self no I don't think I would if we had the money to spend, the same with Semi Tadulala, Sam Obst time to move on and discover new players.

likes of Jay Pitts I would be inquiring about

Re: Staying or Going? : Tue Sep 27, 2011 6:40 pm  

Played 7 games this year. One of which was in the first round of playoffs i think.

Has 130 NRL games to his name so must have something about him.

I think Southern could turn out to be a good signing for us but will reserve judgement till i see him on the field.

As for jay pitts. We should fill our key positions first at prop and halfs with one utility back. If there is anything left over then Pitts would be a good sighning.

I was told by someone there were at least three players on more money (And not just by a couple of grand)at the start of the season, wasn't three players on more by the end though. (Read into that what you like)

Point is he would stop for a paycut, Crazy letting him go, gives 100% and I bet everyone on here cannot name 5 others that would do the same in the last decade, especially with whats been going on in the last couple of seasons. Warriors are hard to find and we just seem to let them go.

I will have you a bet he ends up at a bigger club than Wakefield next Season, by that I mean finished in top 8 last year or have been Grand Finialists
