I'm devasted

[ChookMaster]

I'm absolutely devastated that rts has decided to leave us at the end of 2015... It's been nothing but good this week with injuries and players getting stood down. And now this has really topped it off. Losing Rts is big.. Especially after all the years and development, I still think Latrell is no where near first grade. Fergo gotta go to fb while latrell is being groomed..

[roostersrule2]

We all are man, it sucks.

If Latrell is to be our FB next year though then I think he'll be ready. He should spend some time at Wyong this year and then have the full off-season training in the FB position.

You're what?

[Bigchook]

He's devasted. You know.. Devasted.

[2026]

You're what?

It's a heavier form.

[Johnny Tobin]

It's a heavier form.

In that case I'm devasted too.

[2026]

In that case I'm devasted too.

Iv'e been devasted since Sunday 5.45pm

This is just one big fat devasted week.

My first reaction to this news was anger at RTS.. I'm now looking forward to seeing Fergo get a shot at the number 1 spot

[Tommy Smith]

I'm not. His ankles are barely up to the rigours of the centres, let alone fullback.

Fergo could well be a great fullback. But it'll be for about 12 games per season if we're lucky.

If Sione Mata'utia can play for Australia at 18 - as hilarious as that decision was - then Latrell Mitchell can play fullback for us next year as an 18 1/2 year old.

I can't blame Roger. That's outrageous money for a kid - he simply had to take it. Had we matched the offer, all our salary cap planning would have gone out the window and we'd end up with a weaker team.

If we can get all our best cattle on the field (and the NRL allows it) we are a big chance of winning the comp this year. Then we can rebuild for another crack in 2018-20.

[roosterproud]

so he wins 2 grand finals with us then doesn't get another one. oh well a lesson learnt. money over rings I guess

[Lauren]

I was sad but then the way people and 'fans' have been carrying on made me get over it pretty quickly. These things happen.

[morley101]

I can't blame Tomkins...... Auckland is a shit hole...

felt ill seeing RTS smirking at all the attention he got when he turned up at the airport this afternoon to fly to Brisbane.
