I was disappointed, but not surprised, we lost Flegs. He was already being overpaid for what he delivered and I couldn't see us getting into a bidding war over a fringe Origin player with development issues. In retrospect - given the salary cap he'd be eating - I'm not disappointed as he hasn't had the year I was expecting from him.
I was surprised, but nonplussed, about losing Palasia. He seemed well integrated into the group - publicly chummy with Carrigan, Walsh and Piakura, etc - but I hadn't managed to form any opinion on his potential. Early in the season, he was distinctly underwhelming but he's carried his weight in the latter.
I voted for Keenan, but strictly in the Moneyball sense. I think our depth will more than cover their loss.
