Ugh. Gault re listed. Vomiting we didn't get Conlon instead.

Happy with that.... the Gault re-listing that is, not you vomiting.

Conlon not picked up and neither was Thorp.

Conlon can't be that good, sorry. Overlooked in everything.

I read that this morning. The feeling is akin to watching your mother in law drive off a cliff in your brand new Mercedes.

Well you can always buy another Mercedes. Or better yet a BMW.

I'd call that a bargain personally

He will be drafted next year if he stays fit. Was very highly rated till he dislocated his knee.

I'm sure there were plenty of guys the club would've liked to select but were obliged to Gault, being he was a contracted player.

Tobias Thoolen all over again.

2 years in a row we've passed on F/S players. (Stewart and Kelly).

I do believe the club knows what it's doing tho.

Still, can't help but feel a little sentimental to these players.

I think that is because Hine does not want to be Commited to a Player.

He Rather Go on his List.

Only Commit to a Kid if he was a Top 5 Prospect

Then the question must be asked how is he still contracted after 2 years on the list? 2 years is the standard contract when being drafted. Why was that contract extended & based on what form? I cannot understand how he is still contracted.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm happy to keep gault, he has tremendous upside.
