Message: [QUOTE="Renegade, post: 3268899, member: 1928"] I'm not skipping over anything, you failed to answer the question. Why did Wayne drop Hodges if we didn't give a shit about him leaving? We had already put time into developing him with a view to him being a first grade. The June 30th deadline simply meant that others could also offer a contract. Did we **** it up by not offering one prior? Sure, but I don't remember the circumstances as to why that happened. Were we pissed off he was leaving? Yes. Hodges was well disliked for quite a few years after this occurred, similar to Coates. I remember Casey Maguire putting one on his chin after he got lippy in a game between us and the roosters. But Hodges was young and did what he thought was best for himself at the time. I don't give a **** if he said he bled broncos colours, has nightly sex on a broncos doona, whacks one out to the theme song every night. Doesn't mean shit in the end, does it? Then again, I follow football (soccer) where just about everyone who is leaving peddles the same shit. You end up not putting too much stock into it, evidently you do, more power to you, but it leaves you in this emotionally unhinged position when a player leaves a club despite saying to the contrary. As for him leaving for less money, so what? If I was a professional player and had come last the previous season and my current club was an absolute shambles, you better believe I am taking the offer to be under the best coach in the league in an extremely stable and professional environment. Loyalty is dead both ways. I don't think we're going to see eye to eye on this so happy for you to respond and leave it there. [/QUOTE]
