Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3669746, member: 8423"] All of the points in the 'report' are obvious and not arguable, except the Dearden one. I think the club should be commended for letting Dearden go. It was obvious to all and sundry that he had amazing talent, however he needed direction and a mature side to bring the best out of him. He was also a Cows fan growing up, the move worked out well for him but not in the short term. He must have gone about 30 games there or something ridiculous before his first or second win. Mam is extremely talented but this year was playing busted and broken from very early season. He hurt his knee and was never the same from there. He is still very young and a couple of years behind Dearden in development. At the same age, many had the same questions about Dearden - young halves take time to develop. If we had kept Dearden, we would not have been able to give Mam the opportunity so there is no way anyone can slice this as a travesty unless they want to. In terms of Coates, nope I don't buy that we stuffed that up. We made him a more than fair offer and he decided to go to the Storm despite telling everyone he was staying. There is no way anyone can excuse that behaviour unless again, they are wanting to have yet another go at the club / Kevvie. It is the same when people blame Kevvie for 'letting go' Flegs and Herbie. As if Kevvie wanted to let them go, they both got offered more money and left for more money - plain and simple. This is not a stuff up on the part of the club. Unfortunately, we gave big money to Cobbo instead and until midway through this season, this was actually looking like a smart decision. No one could have foreseen Cobbo completing nose diving in the back end when he was swatting players away for fun left, right and centre. Flegler also should not get a free pass. We massively overpaid him when he was younger and then when the time came to stay for reportedly the same figure he was on, he went for more money - not our fault he decided to show no loyalty. The point is, the club HAS made a bunch of mistakes, we don't need to make up ones as well. There are more than enough legit ones to go round. [/QUOTE]
