Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3325521, member: 1769"] there is plenty of dribble, but he's an expert at getting the quotes he wants, we have no idea the question he asked to get these but here they are: [B]Jaydn Su'A says:[/B] “I was heartbroken, I was pretty distraught,” Su’A said of his Broncos axing. “All my family are here and I was at the club since I was 14. No one likes hearing they’re not wanted. “It might have had something to do with the salary cap and they needed the money for someone else. “Everyone knows Wayne and I have a good relationship. He gave me a call one night. I was driving home from training and he asked what was going on. Next thing I knew I was putting on a South Sydney jersey. “I was upset but I’m very grateful and thankful it happened. If it didn’t happen, I might not have been able to play Origin or heading to an NRL grand final. “It’s funny how it works. I’ve moved past that, it’s in the past. I’m looking at the positives.” [B]Dane Gagai says:[/B] “I was playing for Redcliffe Dolphins and playing good footy but struggling to make weight,” Gagai said. “That was the problem. Anthony Griffin wanted me to be heavier and I just struggled to put on the weight. I was struggling to perform under that type of pressure. “Once they let me go, I went back to Queensland Cup and I thought I knew I could play NRL again and then I had a meeting with Wayne. “The first time I met him I felt comfortable and I said ‘if I sign with Newcastle, do I have to worry about how heavy I am? He looked at me and said ‘Gags, I don’t give a shit what you weigh, as long as you turn up to training on time, put in the effort and play well, I couldn’t care what you weigh’. “He shows you so much respect as a coach and you don’t want to break that respect that he gives to you. You don’t want to break his trust. He lets you be your own man and be an adult. “I guess it was a blessing in the end.” [B]Jai Arrow says:[/B] “I remember the meeting pretty vividly,” Arrow said. “It was pretty daunting going in as a 22-year-old kid telling Wayne you are going to leave the club. “The Broncos had offered me another two years and there was no guarantee I was going to be playing week in, week out. The Titans offered me three years and pretty much told me they wanted me in the team week in, week out, so for myself it was a no-brainer and I remember telling Wayne that. “He said ‘there’s a better opportunity for you down there and I understand you taking it’. But he said ‘one day I want to get you back’ and it’s funny how things work out. “I’m very thankful for the opportunity to come to such a proud club. It has panned out pretty well.” [/QUOTE]
