Napa released

[takethe 2]

Honestly it’s so weird seeing Napa in a bulldogs polo

[fletch]

Wonder which Roosters player Napa head butts when we play them next year.

[stephenj]

jwh has hardest head?

[Rooster_6]

We very rarely lose a big name without recruiting one back. Id expect Tapau (or someone) is on the way.

Jennings, SBW, RTS and Maloney prove otherwise.

Don't underestimate the strain winning a premiership puts on the salary cap.

[eddie]

Well..............
All is cool with this, because Napa was very over-rated.
No leg speed.
No off-loads
Too inconsistant.

The day of the enforcer is over people....

Anyway, we still got Farmer Silly

[The Axe]

I wish napa the best with his future.
regrettably changes in the game have limited his strengths. He never had leg speed but was a great clubman and well liked. Has a passion few could match

Good point.
Uncle Nick actually admitted they got it wrong with Maloney, but that aside we've done an unreal job keeping the team together so far.
I got the faith.

How?

We lose a great club player, for what, a mercenary?

Didn’t we hear this same thing last year re Pearce & Cronk?

We lost a guy who was more interested in partying off the field than performing on it. Robbo has grown in the past couple years with a more ruthless streak that is required for success.

Teddy, Cronk and now Creighton was the club admitting they got that badly wrong.

A bit exaggerated. Panthers subsidised Jennings. RTS $1m. Supercoach chose the younger Hastings over Maloney. Ferguson, Nikorima, and Copley did not come for free.

Ultimately decisions were made in regards to future seasons rather than being forced to release stars.

Well said...

[mattyh]

2 years after the 2016 debacle, we win the comp, could one say that is good cap management ?

[Kelby]

If we get injuries in the forwards and rep rounds taking 2 x second rowers, we lack depth.
It's done, but I'll miss naps.

Why did the club pay for him to go to the usa?

Spot on
