Hilarious though that leading up to signing him he was going to be an immortal and some of the ‘in the know guys’ were claiming they saw Thurston come through and he is better at the same age bullshit bullshit. Even acting like they had pulled off some great coup by snatching him from us when we didn’t even offer him a contract lol.

Didn't you notice they have been trialing, the non penalized forward pass, to first receiver, for at least two seasons. Apparently it speeds up the game to ignore a little cheating.

I thought it was the final pass to the winger, 2 - 3 metres forward! But because it wasn't Manly I didn't bother to re-watch it.
The commentary didn't mention it so maybe just the camera angle.

We still had Morgan at the time. Clifford wasn't prepared to fight for his spot and signed with the Knights instead. After Morgan had to retire he even tried to backflip on his deal.

I don't think anyone seriously expected Morgan to retire at 29 years of age.

Yeah I imagine you guys would know far more about things than I do as Cowboys supporters, so happy to defer to your comments.

Just from the outside looking in, it all seems a bit odd. Wasn’t Morgan looking like retiring for some time before he did, at least since the start of the year?

Clifford going to Newcastle always seemed strange to me given they have Pearce, Hoy, Crossland, et al all in the team or rated there.

So yeah, if Clifford was always going to go, not much you guys could do in fairness but still seems strange to swap him with essentially another unproven kid.

Just seems like you guys put all the hard work into Clifford for Newcastle to benefit and staff the whole process again with a much younger, seemingly less talented bloke in the same position but far more mental baggage.
 
Dearden has to be the most overrated player by the media in quite awhile. Thurston either has no idea how to spot genuine potential or is a complete yes man for the Cowboys.

From what was reported at the time he asked the club for a new contract while Hannay was caretaking and Payten said he wanted to look over everyone before signing anybody so he bolted.

I don't rate Cliffo as much as many but no doubt he definitely has potential. Needs to get his mind right first and foremost.

No, you are right, it should have read "especially to first receiver" , can't type as fast as brain.

I'm prepared to write off a 20 year old after only a handful of games with his new team.

I got the impression JT never rated Clifford but got some reason always rated Dearden.

Andrew Johns always saw something in Clifford. I think he likes that he plays quite direct.

Dearden plays like he's just trying to survive.

He has basically no kicking game, very limited passing game and lacks any real speed or agility to threaten the line. Apart from all that, he's great.

I am gobbsmacked that -- if true -- Brisbane is willing to pay Haas $1m a season for the next 10 years. Seriously?
Haven't they leant anything about long-term deals? Tomolooloo is off the boil two years into his 10 year deal; Buddy Franklin misses more games than he play (although he has earnt Sydney a lot of merchandising revenue); most Manly fans will agree that the club signed DCE for too long in one stretch...
Hass may be a good player now but he still hasn't helped Brisbane climb far off the bottom of the ladder. What's wrong with just signing him for three years?
His footballing abilities aside, some would suggest he won't stay out of off-field trouble in the next decade.

Let's wait and see what actually happens, not the words of an extremely unreliable journalist.
 
Can someone please explain to me why a number of the dragons players at the party won't sign that document that will allow them to play next week?

Maybe one of the clauses says that no-one else in the team was there. And there may have been. Are they stat decs because that would then be a criminal offence if it was found not to be true, I’d imagine.

Surely the dragons and the rlpa wouldn't create a legal document with falsehoods? They arent that dumb surely?
