    The whole article makes Paul Connors look like a total tossbag. Oh wait, he is a total tossbag. Carry on then…

        This comes to the very crux of it. If keeping Callan means affecting our ability to keep Roughy, Wood, Dal, Jones etc etc then thanks for the memories Wardy. Need 18 players out there at a time that can potentially do the job.

          Connors actually said he hoped Ward re-signed a new contract with the dogs, so not sure why you think it makes Connors look like a toss bag.
          More of an In Bruges guy?

            I think it's more like our inability to retain Hargrave, Gilbee and Cross personally.
            But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

              If thats the case, thats not a huge issue as none of the above are going to get any better,

                  Which does not mean much unless he is on a huge salary

                    What I meant is that we get no salary cap relief by cutting him at the end of the year.

                        How will the club factor matters next year when we have Gia & Murph also eligible for the Veteran's List (currently Gilbee & Shaggy are on it)?

                          More importantly, what about Lake? He,s the one on big cash.

                            Actually, looking at his Birthdate (Feb 82) & year of draft (2001), he appears to also qualify next year (funny, I always thought he was a further year back, dunno why).

                              Getting Lake on the Vet's List next year is a must. Going to be interesting to see how it all unfolds.
                              Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                                We can only do that by dumping Hargrave (or sharing the salaries 3 ways which kinda defeats the purpose).
