For sure, doesn't mean there wasn't some truth in it though.

We're rebuilding anyway so I don't really think it matters if we don't have the exact right mix next year for the gameplan we're building towards.
If we weren't paying through our noses for Oliver and he wasn't a massive off-field distraction for the club I have no doubt we would have kept him. He played good enough footy to warrant his selection last year especially towards the end of the year but it didn't warrant the other shit we've put up with and he added no value to the club when it wasn't game day.
Think the story about the meeting where we asked him to play a different role or explore his options was just a narrative we fed to the media. He was able to fly to Sydney and have a little boat ride with the Giants the following day. Reckon this was in the works for a while.
I'm looking at it as Steele is coming in for his experience as we've lost 400 games with Trac and Oliver. I suspect we'll see less Viney and Steele in the middle and we'll be seeing more of a new mix with those two coming in to help out.

Watched Steele's club interview yesterday, as much as I do and want to hate this move he just seems like too good of a bloke to root against. Stupid sexy Steele.

I have come around to this one now after thinking about it. Our leadership is non existent and with trying to develop kids we need a few legit professionals to lead the way. He is hardly a spud either, I think he's a bit better than Cross when he came to us so hopefully can contribute on field as well as off field.

Lol yeah I had a weird moment of cope where I was like I guess if Mihocek and Steele raise the floor of the side so we stay a bit competitive it might keep Koz from trying to bail and now I hate the move less.
I also had this weird moment where I wanted us to win next year too

Mihocek almost certainly improves us IMO. He is no star but he is better than anything we've got currently and will take pressure off JVR and Fritsch.
