Past #25: Robbie Tarrant - traded to RFC for CCJ&picks - 2yr deal at RFC - 174 NM games/44 NM goals - retires 13/7/23 effective immediately

[Sillygit]

Where there is smoke there is fire or so they say. So will Tarrant ask to leave or will he stay?

Where there is smoke there is some dickhead trying to make it look like fire for clicks and a clear personal agenda.

s**t

I know nobody wants to consider it, but even using an unemotional, objective lense - there is a chance players are disenfranchised and unclear of their place at the club especially those over 30.

Quite happy for it not to be the case but you can't just dismiss the idea because it was delivered by a rat syphilis soaked little wank-biscuit like Barrett.

There's a number of blokes out of contract after 2021 who'd look at who just got booted and probably know that they'll be next. Then you've got the 30+ brigade who may not fancy slogging out the next couple seasons for little chance of any type team success. Given the change in direction by the club, I think we're obligated to give the option. Hopefully they all want to stay, but a disgruntled player is of no use whatsoever.

I have Zero information, and I wouldn't believe anything Damo says, but I have had a sneaky suspicion that this may be the case. We haven't heard much from him over the year. Was very close with B.Scotts and may have been put out by what happened to him. Also, seemed off for most of the year. If he genuinely doesn't want to be here then not much we can do. Get the best deal we can and move on. Also may be why we are bringing Corr in. I hope he stays, but he needs to be 100% in otherwise will cause more problems moving forward.

 

[ArchKing Carey]

I have serious doubts about this. Other than Higgins, the only ones being shuffled in and out of the team every week have been either delisted or officially allowed to seek for a trade.
If you were to keep an experienced back line leader from what's left available, it would be Tarrant.

 

[Rockstar6]

Tarrant is a must keep unless the trade deal is way overs in our favour which wont happen

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Gee we lose Taz we lose our soul. I can live with Higgins and Brown going. Taz would be heartbreaking. If Barrett is just making this up to spite the club given some of the other rumours around I would be after his head. CarPark type assault with no holding back.

 

[Horizons_00]

What would Damo know?

He will just keep spewing out bullshit out until something sticks

Taz stays. He should be untouchable imo

Around Sunday or Monday...

"Despite reports that he wanted out, we now understand that Robbie Tarrant will stay at north with sources close to <insert publication> indicating his desire to be a one club player"

Sam Edmund said on SEN just b4 3.00 that he was going nowhere and was committed to us

What, you think Damo is deserving of anything more than contempt from us? On what basis?

 

[Mav]

I bought some new glasses yesterday, and my wife said they make look like Damien Barrett. I threw them straight in the bin... both the glasses and the wife.

No. But any reasonable media commentator wouldnt be too far off the mark suggesting Tarrant is considering his options. Barrett may have even researched his position.

In relation to Taz, that is correct per se. But Barrett has an impediment to his ability to do North research, because no-one in the club will talk to him. It's this fact that upsets him so much and makes him a malicious, vindictive, petty little bitch.

 

[Rad Roo]

I reckon Robbie would be more likely to just hang up the boots.

Why, he is still at the peak of his abilities. Bulldogs would encourage him to retire then come out of retirement to the dogs.

 

[the flying ham]

In relation to Taz, that is correct per se.

So we agree.

So why whine about 'ad hom' attacks?

[chubbspeterson]

Interestingly Edmund said Tarrant was unhappy with some specific elements at the club which have been addressed so likely to stay.
Wonder what the elements were.

 

[Star]

I said Sunday.

Turns out only had to wait an hour for the media to dispel a story instigated by the media

 

[Rad Roo]

Tarrant easily 3 more years at his current standard.........provide he doesn't get soft tissue injuries in the legs.

 

[Rad Roo]

Interestingly Edmund said Tarrant was unhappy with some specific elements at the club which have been addressed so likely to stay.
Wonder what the elements were.

and addressed..................could it be to do with getting rid of the perennially unavailable/underperforming/unprofessional players and support staffs?

 

[chubbspeterson]

Could be anything really. Could be coaches, players underperforming, ball movement, not wanting to spend the rest of his career playing on gorilla forwards and wanting to be an intercept defender. He certainly looked the most frustrated I've seen him this year.
