So does anyone know how Greedy Hudson is being then, or are we just assuming that he has had another much better offer from Cas, which he should turn down out of loyalty , just like the majority of league players do.

Well mr Thewlis told me it was silly money so i'd guess that's a fair amount

To be fair though, he often says that when a popular player moves on.

So we are talking about what RT calls silly money then (whatever that is ) I don't know any more than anyone else what that is but i would be very surprised if it is not less that what Gatis was on and also less than the new man is coming for , If that is so and we are reckoning that Hudson is being greedy, then what does that make the other two, The fact that Hudson took Drugs is neither here or there, He did the crime and the time, End of story, How many people would turn down a contract with a sizable pay rise with a new company, on the grounds that they want to be loyal to their present company, especially a company with a record like the giants for getting rid of people, Those type of people are a very rare breed in my opinion.

True, but if others got wind of what he was being paid, then internal politics would come into play Bo.
It's happened before.

and thats one of the negatives of todays "game" reidy

used to be that the whole 13 got the same
(subs werent allowed -injuries -yer one short!)

it was a team - all the same -- a basic match fee -plus a win bonus
and they all gave their best !!

not any more - get picked --paid anyway --and it strikes me some then dont bother (but thats only an old whingers opinion!!)

Thats my point ,what is he being paid, and what is he asking to be paid, There could be a dozen players better paid that him, Is there a dozen who deserve to be?

What people do get paid is usually private, but if it gets out, thats when the brown stuff hits the fan.

Are we still getting Faiumu, as it all seems to be quiet regarding him?
Seems to be taking much longer than anyone else, or has he changed his mind? just wondering that is all

it might have been a publicity stunt???

We already have one of the best hookers in the game, and a good youngster to spell him, They should be concetrating on the places we are weak ,not on the ones we are strong in.

Would people on here not move jobs for more money? Personally I think it's going a bit far to say it's disgusting that he doesn't want to play for us or is just in it for the money... I'm pretty sure that everyone works just for the money!

only ribbing yer --yer know that!!!

According to someone on rlfans we are linked with a new hooker for 2009
does that mean Faiumu not coming or Ryan definately going?
Hooker?

This is the Guy

Another Nathan?

Again we will have to play the waiting game, we getting good at that lol

I'd be happy with Nathan Fien. When i found out we'd signed Gatis I watched quite a few of their games and noticed Fien was given more game time than Gatis.

Maybe ur spy can tell you

So we get a grade C in our license bid and one of the points raised is our overseas quota and kids through the ranks. How do we respond?

Sign an Aussie/Kiwi.

You couldn't make it up.
