Official Delistings

[yellowandback]

Good decisions by the club - with the exception of Miller and Hislop, 2 mature players as rookies is a joke.
I really hope that the club remains both committed and focussed on bringing new players into our development system and avoids the trap of taking players from other clubs.

We have de-listed/retired 5 players who were originally taken from opposition clubs - Thomson, Hislop, Polak, Cuz and Simmonds.

Cuz is the only clear win from the group, the foreign legion approach has not worked for 10 years.

Well done Hardwick and the football dept. I would think another cleanout of 8-9 next year and we will have turned our list over and should have the core list capable of playing finals footy for many years.

Highly doubt it. I'd say Nahas and Tuck will probably go next year and maybe White. Hard to write any others off

Tuck and White I believe are both contracted until 2012. They don't appear to have worthwhile trade value either based on recent trade periods. Nahas, Thursty, King, Rance, Gourdis plus all our current rookies would need a strong 2011 to survive this time next year IMO. If Foley has another year interrupted by injury the club may try to trade him. Both he and McGuane are also contracted until 2012.

Oh my goodness, whos going to be our whipping boy from now on.

Oh well I guess there will be someone who will step down so we can all slag off on and withdraw support of -  if need be - LOL

Oh, there will be ... and i am tipping Shane Edwards to be just that!

Not if he plays like he did this year.

I think Nahas may have taken that mantle.

Nahas wont get a match next year.

Only way Nahas will, is if players are injured.

Not if he plays like he did this year.

I think Nahas may have taken that mantle.

Good work Dimma

[WA Tiger]

and polo has paid the price for opening his mouth too much early in the season and having major attitude issues

That's very funny very funny indeed 

You will defend him to the day you die WP.....

On another note, we don't really have anyone to bag next year now do we, the list looks pretty good..... no doubt someone will cop it though..

[WilliamPowell]

Hmmm... not really. When things are true you cant defend when things are not true I find them funny, have a laugh and move on   

BTW WAT I'm not surprised at all he got de-listed

Oh we do .. I would think Nahas currently holds the title with all Tiger eyes on poor Grigg who will take up the mantle if he plays one bad game

Very happy with the delistings. Good work by Club. I feel sorry for Roberts I hope he sorts out his personal issues. Polo just never developed. Hislop and Thomson were never up to scratch. McMahon was just one of the many terrible decisions Wallace made.

roberts was just really missing his son and family, they were his issues

If Dimma achieves nothing else in his time at RFC at least he has the achievement of de-spudding the Tiges

[Smokey]

I would suggest that if he achieves nothing else then he will also have re-spudded the Tiges!

Cuz is the only clear win from the group, the foreign legion approach has not worked for 10 years.

By the same token you could say that drafting youth has not worked for us either Y&B.

Recycling players itself has not been the problem, it's the players selected, just the same as with our drafting of youth.

I found Blair Hartlty's comment about drafting for talent and trading for need interesting.

[tony_montana]

well that was very much needed, well done tiges

 Just dissapointed we're wasting 2 rookie spots on Hislop and Miller.

Can you imagine if Tuck, White, Graham & King didn't save/extend their careers this season?  it would have been 15 changes - 29 changes in 2 seasons yikes! 

A bit of perspective for those who sometimes get ahead of themselves as to where this club is at
