No problem with him leaving but be a man and have some balls to tell the Dogs what your doing.
At least Gaz told the Dragons where he was with things.
Daniel Mortimer is set to play out his contract with the Paramatta Eels after rumours he would be leaving the club
Geez - a man walks out on a footy team and all hell breaks loose.
Oh well...think what you want. With sportsmen these days, they come and go with such regular monotony, it hardly seems worth getting your blood boiling over it, but if you want to, that's up to you.
And as for Gaz, yeah sure, apples and oranges. But he still left his team in the lurch. And has done it again. But they welcomed him back with open arms and won a comp, so I guess the ledger is square.
his hopeless. let him go to england or somethingRobert LUI leaving TIGERS at season end, unless he reduces his asking price significantly. .
SBW & Gaz are totally different, for one Gaz left at end of season...
Gasnier had 3rd party contracts with CH9 which were approved by Eddie Maguire, once Eddie left the new CEO canned the 3rd party deals, StGeorge was willing to pay them but the NRL said NO as it would be included in the cap, because this money was not forthcoming from CH9, Gasnier had financial commitments that would not be meet, the club was happy to release him so he could make that money back, so he left with the clubs approval, futher more Gasnier has always stayed at Saints for unders, he could have earnt more, but his loyalty to the Dragons kept him there, yes he was still highly paid, he left for France made a **** load of money was able to pay off his financial commitments and invest, he came back to the Dragons again on lesser money for the first 2 years and he would have been paid more the next 2 years but he has decided to retire...
Now to Smith/Costigan/Saffy, JSmith was offered a 3 year deal on very good money by the Sharks, Bennett told him to take the deal as it gave him security and an extra 2 years in the NRL, remembering that JSmith was a late developer and it's only been the last few years where he has made money.... Costigan was offered $250,000 by Newcastle he literally signed straight away but again the Dragons were offering closer to $180,000, same as Saffy got offered $260,000+ to go BACK to union, again the Dragons were not offering anywhere near that, Bennetts philosophy is to build a deep squad with good depth, so he basically offers players a little bit less to spread the money around.... There was an article in the paper saying that JSmith etc were dirty on Gasnier etc, funny that when we played the Sharks at Kogarah which was Gasniers last game there, the last player to leave from the Dragons dressing room was JSmith who was hanging out with Gasnier....

Interesting. In light of this, I have somewhat changed my opinion of Gaz. So thank you for the info.
Still...with SBW...a think a great talent was lost and I don't see what he did to be the crime of the century many other RL fans think it is.
i believe your captain was one of those mid-season walkersYour missing the point. He had a contract. Here's a tip. If you have a contract and leave your emplyment . You aint starting somehwre else unless your previous employer agrees. Hence the Bulldogs getting copmensated.
GASNIER and SBW--no comparison, your comparing apples with oranges.
E.W
Preston Campbell to retire.

nathan gardner out of favour
He told them he was walking, didn't disspear in the night. Good try though
My wife still refers to him as "Judas". LOL. But he did walk out, and that's good enough for me to lump him in the same basket as SBW!
Rumblings at the Sharks Steve Matai is in their sights even though he is not off contract, Nathan Gardner out of favour
