I suspect he'll find it hard to find another club with his record over the last couple of years. To union perhaps? It would be funny if he turned up at Leeds, no seriously, I wouldn't wish that on Brian Mac, but it would have its humorous side.

Karma is a bitch

Is that the Oz press trying to say that we contributed to Orford's poor form?

Bitter much?

If Canberra didn't do a proper medical before they signed him, then that's their own stupid fault

I suspect a medical would not have picked up that asshole's problems.

And I noted the Oz piece failed to mention it had a three year contract with US, and the reason for the delay in securing its release is the lying little toilet had consistently lied to us and was not prepared to do anything in restitution for its breach of contract?

Rather than be glad his move to Canberra hasn't worked out for him, all I can think is what a shame it was that he didn't settle here.

A shame indeed. But how different might things have been had it been honest with the club in May 2010? It and the Sack of Rat Droppings? One day, when all that happened is able to come out, I suspect more people will better understand why there is so much bitterness towards that individual and its agent, and about how they fekked the club over.

Are you referring to the 'undisclosed' reason as to why he needed to return back to Aus? If so, I'm not holding my breath for that to ever become public knowledge.

Yes, the undisclosed reason why we let him and his agent screw us over. I won't hold my breath for us to be told.

If indeed there is some "undisclosed reason", has it occurred to you that it might just be "undisclosed" for a reason, that in these litigatious times the club can do fekk all about no matter how much it might wish to?

For what reason would it be undisclosed?

Probably for the same reason that your own personal and medical circumstances are not allowed by statute law to be disclosed?

As an Aside, I see Danny Sculthorpe has been released by Widnes. Maybe his career is well and truly over. Sad, he was a nice guy to talk to. Hope he finds another club though in the lower echelons of the leagues.

The undisclosed reason as to why Matt Orford left us is in Government Files which arn't getting released until January 2110

How can the fact that he is a total ar$e be undisclosed?

No problems with that, it's been in the public domain for some time............

Given he's only managed 6 games, I wonder if the Raiders have used some sort of medical reason for his termination.

poetic justice

I must be out of the loop! What was his reason for leaving the uk?

no mention of his new club (if there is one). If we kept Orford would we not have had this problem also?

There was no possibility whatsoever of us keeping him, so the question is anyway academic. He was determined to go back, and from a lot earlier than he ever acknowledged or admitted. There were big issues with him that meant that we were very well rid of him. Whether his subsequent club had similar issues, and whether (as in our case) the parties deemed it highly inappropriate to play it all out in public - we may never know? But, regardless of whatever physical injuries he may have struggled with this year, I can't say what happened with him at Canberra came as a huge surprise to me.
