Titans release Petersen to play in UK

[Kaz]

Winger Matt Petersen has been granted an immediate release from the Gold Coast Titans to sign a two-and-a-half year deal with UK Super League club Wakefield.

Petersen, who was due to come off contract at the end of the season, played his final NRL game for the Titans against Newcastle on Saturday night and will play out the year with Wakefield.

Now that have the money for Michaels/Boyd or both. [icon_razz1

I know for a fact he was being paid more than Scott Prince at the Titans, and he's actually being paid in battered fish at Wakefield.

Wish they released him before round 6.

 

[Fozz]

But what kind of battered fish? The key is in the details coxy [icon_lol1.

 

[Nashy]

Good. I can't stand him, he scored too many tries against us!

Why did they release him??? [icon_shru Is Searle mad?? Peterson has been carving up for them!

That makes me worried now because they may have enough money to get boyd or michaels, maybe even Big Benny. :roll:

According to today's paper GC weren't going to offer him a deal at the end of the season. With that you can understand his decision.

Why bother with contracts anymore? Seriously, every player just opts out when they want and the club just lets them go. I realise resentment builds, but the days of your word meaning something are long gone.

On another note, I suppose this makes room for Zillman somewhere.

Zillman was going to get a go anyway in my opinion! As much as they have tried Preston Campbell is not a fullback, he is a 5/8 or halfback. Also Ash Harrison's best position is at lock and Rogers in the centres.

This works well in my opinion, I dont think Petersen needed to go.

What odds can I get on his new club selling sideshow bob wigs in their fanstore, only to have him shave his head upon arrival??? [icon_lol1.

 

[Clintos]

I'm pretty annoyed. I had him in VRL. Damn the titans!

You have had better players than him and traded them off!! I dont think he will be that big a loss to you in that regard, just means you have lost a back choice [icon_lol1.

 

[Clintos]

Yeah, but I only had one sideshow bob.

 

[Jeza23]

Yeah, but I only had one sideshow bob.

Kirk Reynoldson could be one if he grows his hair and beard again!

What dumb trade that has turned out to be for me.....havent really done anything since I gave him to you for Tupou and Harrison [icon_shru [icon_non

 

[Clintos]

He helped me beat you 61-26. :)
