It’s more than likely that he will end up at Catalans/Toronto. By all means, I would be very happy indeed if we found some way of pulling it off.

Much better to treat the fans in this way than assume they are all imbeciles. In truth I would rather the club prove their intent through actions rather than just spout on about it.

Yeah - in the long run no matter what your PR strategy is, you can't disguise results. It's like when people comment on how they like/don't like what a coach says in a press conference. Even the old chestnut "we trained well all week, we looked like world beaters on the practice field" would be received well if we were top of the table on a 20 game winning streak. Everyone would say that's why we're so good, practice like you play!

Also I had to chuckle when in Price's time here people were saying how refreshing his approach was in press conferences.....that soon went sour last season!

I think after the umpteenth time he said "i know what type of footy team i have" after each defeat we got the idea.

Has your account been hacked, or are you tripling down?

Yes, but it's suggested in the report posted above that Gold Coast want out of the contract and would be willing to subsidise his wages if a SL club picked him up.

I'd still rather we made a play for Kyle Amor than go for an NRL prop.
