I'm getting ready to tap out on correcting you. You are so relentless in trying to show that everything is terrible and we are all doomed. I've got other things to do.

But just one last one.

One players deciding to stay is not evidence that Fifita will do the same when you compare to the hundreds who just go home like they said they would.

Redcliffe Dolphins might be an option for either. They have been slow in signings and need to put something together to make players be interested in going the year after. If they re-unite elsewhere in Super League, well, that is how it goes, but it would be a shame. What it boils down to, I suppose, is a player getting as much as they can for what limited time they have left. I'd begrudge no player for that.

If he's going, good luck to him. I imagine with him, TJ and Bill off the books, we might have some cash for decent signings.

As for the other players, maybe they just need a break from relentless relegation battles.

Big Boppers farewell....end of an era....last dance could quite easily be in reference to losing a couple of long time team mates like Miller and Arona who have been a big part of the club for a good few years!

Just seems a strange way of announcing if it was him leaving, especially off the back of the announcement from Andrew earlier in the morning.

If Andrew is looking at a deal in Super League then it would only be alongside Dave and you'd have to question which other team would take that risk with the cost of both and two quota spots....answer is none if you think about it....could only see them both turning out for us....so still not lost hope just yet...

If it is real then we can only say thankyou for the memories....definitely up there with the best overseas signings I've seen in my time watching!

They could just tell him its full of pies.......

When does he start his diet then?

Must admitted i dissappointed i wont be there thursday night, i think dave as been a real asset to the club both on and off the pitch and would love to be there to give him a final round of applause i know there still a couple of away games but its not the same.
And before i get moaned im not there cos academy lads ko at odsal at 7.30 too and ill be there

I reckon it could be Leigh…………

You’ve met belly have you? Trust me he wouldn’t want to be in charge, despite the way he posts on here he knows exactly why we have problems. It’s in his blood.

That came to my mind with the Chester link and they will be spending money like it's going out of fashion -within the ESL rules. I'm sure.



Although Leigh aint promoted yet!

By that do you believe that Belly could then, or do you have doubts about the boards intentions?

Don't Leigh have to get rid of half of their overseas players if they get promoted?

Quite possibly, didn’t think of that……. Depends who they get rid of though doesn’t it, or want to get rid of?

And probably a big pay day for both Fifitas to end their careers.

Yes

Although they defo have some sl quality is players already

They do and they currently need to get rid of 6 if fifita go it will be 8 plus there rumored to be signing leuatle from hudds.
Personally hope they fall at last hurdle dont think they will but hopefully fev can them mcdermott got experience with this aint he

On another note if dave carrys on playing i hope its in his homeland

Anything could happen in a one off game.
In the play-off game when we played Fev for promotion, if the linesman hadn't seen their knock-on then probably we wouldn't have been promoted.

Toronto v London being the classic.

I still have a feeling he isn't definitely leaving. Just a hunch but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw him in a Trinity shirt for one final season
next year ...

Given all the goodbyes on his instagram from friends, team mates etc it would have to be one of the most elaborate (bad) jokes of all time. It looks pretty legit to me and seems he is going back home.

He doesn’t say he’s leaving, just end of an era, which it is for the ground. There have been no leaks from the club or any other clubs about him joining them which is surprising if this were true. I’m calling him snd his brother on 2 yr deals announced the day before season tickets go on sale

Whether he goes, or not there's one thing I'd say, is thst overall, his best days have been with us and we've seen him at his best

Heard through the grapevine that he is definitely leaving but doesn’t know what he wants to do yet.
Also hearing that a lot of in contract players are wanting out.

The announcement seems a bit blase to me. No thanks for anyone. Think about when players leave and what they write on social media usually a few paragraphs thanking X and X and X and talking about special memories. Seems a bit weird that announcement. Also, Kirmond's first comment is "why you lying for?". Really wouldn't surprise me if this is a fifita wind up...

That was my initial thought that it’s a Dave wind up

There’s an article on love rl that they both will be paying in aus

Just hope Dave does one final season and brings Andrew over
Would be massive for us

The club must have been paying him silly money then if he's that financially secure that he doesn't know what he wants to do next.
Those[u players[/u you are hearing that are under contract and are wanting out would you like to name some of them for those of us without access to this grapevine.
