Some news from "The Mole" in RLW this week

Maybe we offered him a contract but he wanted more than we could afford

If he wanted more than what we could afford would we have had to 'pull back' the offer?

Two bits caught my eye on page 06 of this week's Rugby League Week in "The Mole" section. I shall transcribe both here ...

MORRIS WAS ALL BUT GONE
"The Dragons can thank their lucky stars they managed to hang on to tryscoring sensation Brett Morris. One of the best prospects in the game, Morris had all but signed with the Roosters - but the club had to pull back its offer at the last minute when they couldn't fit him under the salary cap."

Bit surprised to read that.

Despite what was in the papers, and certain Bulldog fans, Brett was never going to leave the Dragons as long as they came up with a reasonable deal.

As a rule it's very rare that Saints lose a player they want to keep.

So long as we re-sign Cherrington and Towers, I will be pretty happy with our retention this year. Sure we lost Shack, but keeping Mitch Aubusson, Tom Symonds, FP Nuuausala, Anthony Cherrington and Luke Towers, to go with already long-term contracted youth such as Williamson, Friend, Pearce, Sa, SKD, Perrett and James Aubusson, would be a tremendous boost for our 'homegrown' player base.

It is a shame that Mason is probably who cost us Tupou and Shackleton though.

Wise words......Always a pleasure reading your responses....

There is a reason why we dropped the Morris offer my friend...

There is a certain Wallaby not happy playing park football at the moment mun
