I say we hang fire on AF and save potential player funds for the new coach.

The only new coach we will get is a 53 seater to pick up the remaining home supporters if we continue to play like we have for far too long.

Any update I may have missed.
Last news Chester said million miles away.
Its most unlike the club to announce.
Was it a diversion tactic

Heard nothing but I don't think the club announced it really. It was leaked out to the press via the team bus and since then the club have downplayed it without actually denying it.

Can’t see it happening though there’s always a chance it could come off.

I suppose we have a quota spot and some money to bring someone in though.

Club are waiting for the right time to announce it.

So is it a done deal then homme.
How many games would he have played if not suspended.
Could it be he will be sitting out his susp in Aus.

That's my understanding, if he was to come over now he wouldn't be available for selection as he would have to quarantine so that would push his ban out a couple of weeks.

Think he has 2 games left of the suspension.

Why can’t he serve the ban whilst in quarantine?

how can some serve a ban while not being able to play in the first place, in fact did you really have to ask that

Re: Andrew Fifita : Thu Apr 22, 2021 12:55 pm  

He's not here yet because he hasn't signed yet. Chesters latest inview today tallies pretty much with what i heard last week and put on here, that the change of coach has delayed things as Fitzgibbon wants to review the entire roster before signing off on decisions and the interim coach has said he has a clean slate for this year once his ban is done, so if he gets back in their team after it's over i doubt we'll be seeing him. If he remains in the reserves then we might just see him late May.
