Been a great servant but right call for me.

We can really strengthen now, even further and explains why we are after James Cunningham.

All the best Hinchy!

yep an ultimate pro, all players can look upto someone like him

his first season many me included thought what a waste of money, but he was being played out of position and proved his worth last two seasons

but on the whole i think its good for us, hes a similar player to lawrence who tackles and works hard , ready made replacement there although lawrence seems to be going towards being a prop now

will free up a cap space and quota spot too for woolford to get someone in

expect mamo to leave too so two big earner gone there... but one big one coming in with uate

Massive void to fill there- I doubt we will fill it.

Re: Hinchliffe Retires : Wed Sep 05, 2018 7:10 pm  

A fantastic pro that set a great example to the younger players and barely missed a game!
On a selfish note - very disappointed he's retiring, but wish him all the best for the future.

Money tight according to Woolford. Maybe Bruno can take over as an 80 minute loose forward?

If not I presume it will get rotated with props.

Wakeman won’t have been on much. Symonds money on matagi, new deals for the new kids on the block won’t have taken up much- uate seems to have gone away! But yeah still some money to play with there.

Sam Wood in my opinion is made for the job.

Sam wood may one day make a loose forward- he’s no like for like replacement -and we aren’t likely to get one is my point!
