What I see as a huge problem with these sackings and Carney's case is it's obvious the only reason they're not "mutually terminating" Carney is because he has an extra year to run on his contract. Having a guess, that'd say to me that Tinkler will never again sign anyone for more than one season - as he'll want his players to be disposable if given the chance. Not only will this be frustrating as we won't be able to tie players down long-term, but I daresay it'll make it difficult when negotiating for incoming players.

Although in saying all that, they DID sign Boogard until the end of 17/18

The fat controller has to ****ing go.

Stubbins is a Muppet no doubt about it but this fat **** should have no say in team selections at all

Another string in the bow for FFA against the Fat Controller.

Trialling Antelmi? That slipped under the radar... he's a decent prospect. Was at Wigan when they did their massive cull, let go the entire reserve/youth set up, basically. Was at Leeds youth before that.

Could be a great little coup if we actually sign him.

Anyone heard of Luke Gearing?

So NXFM just said we have signed Lucas Neill on a 2 year deal starting next season.

Any club people on here confirm that?
Heads about to explode.

To be fair id believe anything the Jets came out with.
Pretty stupid joke by NXFM if it is an April fools. Thought they'd go after the Knights.
The 'club official' they had on sounded legit enough.

We're a joke, so why not go for us - clearly it would be believed.

Story on Josh Mitchell some bloke from the Adelaide Disc Golf scene gets a mention but at the end love the Absolute beat down Josh puts on the club and our former ceo

Josh Mitchell is quite possibly the greatest hero in the history of the universe.

“Even guys like Robbie Middleby – I’ve a lot of time for the guy and I’ve played with him – but he’s not a General Manager. That’s not his job. It’s beyond him. And look at the coach now… I know Robbie’s gone now but he was there too long. It’s very frustrating."

The Member and Plague revisit the Middleby OUT thread.

[Thomas477]

But I remember being told that Middleby wasn't doing anything, it was all Palmer.

And Plague, I too was an advert advocate of Middleby Out too
