I don’t know what signal this sends to us supporters or indeed to our playing roster with the likes of Lenui,Sorenson et al.
Broncos are in disarray with their coach getting rid of what he sees as a liability, the player in this case is walking out on the Broncos and signed with Bulldogs after apparently being in deep negotiations with Wests and using them to leverage a bigger deal with the dogs…and voila, he lands with us.
What is more galling is, what if we win the whole thing and this bloke rides in on his horse, plays a few games and gets a premiership ring
I am probably Eisenhuth’s harshest critic but i would rather play him then a blow in. I could deal with it if he was signing with us for future years but he is with us for what 8 weeks maybe?
As much as i hate the thought of Burton going to the dogs, the guy has remained solid with Panthers and been one of our best week in and week out and to me shows the character of the kid.
Pangai is abandoning his fellow team mates, and good luck to him securing a big deal with the dogs but why do we have to hand a spot to him on a platter
On a deeper level, does this signal to all of us just how low our reserve stocks are in all positions???
Me, i would rather go through the season and end up where we end up with the squad we have, and if we don’t win the big prize because we ran out of troops, well the Coach should be held to account for that but bringing in a “part time” player sits very uncomfortably with me
I know i can hear it now, what if he scores the winning try in the GF or saves a try to win the GF?..i could equally suggest what if he cost us a try to lose the GF or has some indiscretion which gets him sin binned or sent off in a GF.
The what if’s are all conjecture, i am more troubled by what this means to our playing group, especially those who have been there all year and played in lower grades and came in when and as required.
