THE EX Kevin Walters

[Renegade]

Flegler isn't a loss in the sense that he has a busted shoulder and legit may not play again.

 

[Totally Unr3al]

Huh? The club CHOSE not to match the offers.

We also spent most of our cap on magic beans too

I was ok with flegler going, it was Herbie and probably palasia I was most disappointed about. Flegler was always a risk with his shoulder.

With Willson and Te Kura coming through you can understand the choices

Our decisions with the back row and outside backs that have really hurt this year.

Yep the forwards make sense when you put it into perspective... but letting Herbie go was a massive fumble. I'd rather him over both cobbo and staggs to be honest.

 

[Culhwch]

It's interesting that Herbie went from a liability because he never passed when he was here to a huge loss now he's gone. He should come back so people can complain about him never passing again.

If you had asked me last year I’d have agreed to let Herbie go
But Cobbo has been a major let down at centre
Our wingers have also done so poorly in early yardage this year that we are desperately missing Herbies early metres
Hindsight is 20/20 as they say

Cant match it if you have no money in your salary cap. Its hardly a move the club said well we dont need you so **** off. They wanted to keep them and put together an offer but were simply blown away by the dolphins offers.

The choice was made when they prioritised other players in their position. There is the choice.

They weren't blown away by the Dolphins, the Dolphins could just give them what they are worth.

 

[Sproj]

You can't keep them all and yes, we would have loved to have kept them all. It isn't an exact science to know how different players are going to end up. Sometimes you get it right, sometimes you don't, it is what it is.

Do you think Penrith wanted to let go Api, Burton, Kikau, Capewell, Turuva, Luai, Fisher-Harris and Crichton?

Unlike the Roosters, everyone else has a salary cap to abide by, this is why the NRL needs to put in place some significant benefits for clubs that develop because at the moment, the clubs that vulture get all the benefits and none of the expense.

Would the club have loved to have kept Herbie, Fifita, Flegler, Palasia and Coates? Of course they would but we have to play by the rules.

And honestly, its a shame because imagine a grand final between:

1. Edwards v Walsh
2. To'o v Cobbo
3. Burton v Staggs
4. Crichton v Farnworth
5. Watene-Zelezniak- v Coates
6. Luai v Mam
7. Cleary v Dearden
8. Leota v Flegler
9. Koraisau v Hunt
10. Leota v Haas
11. Kikau v Fifita
12. Martin v Su'A
13. Yeo v Carrigan

14. Egan v Nikorima
15. Campbell-Gillard v Collins
16. Leniu v Arrow
17. Sorensen v Riki

I think Billy has earned the first crack over Smoothy.

Activated? You never stopped going on about it.

 

[McHunt]

I think Billy has earned the first crack over Smoothy.

By birthright?

Never used the term until today. I said one day he would have to make a decision to drop his son for a better player, and that it was a looming disaster waiting to happen. That day is today.

This is about Kevvie, not Billy.

Oh yep not using the term totally changes you constantly going about it.

 

[Dexter]

Yes, he was born better than Smoothy

And here we are.
