Is It True

[Mad Dog]

I don't know the lengths of many of the contracts. I know that Johncock signed a 2 year deal last year as did Burton and they have next year left. Bassett and Roo also signed 3 year deals last year as did Goody and Mcleod. Hart signed a 2 year deal.

All those deals were signed last year but kicked in this year ie Perrie, Burton and Hart are already half way through their contracts.

If a player has signed a new deal this year that starts off in 2005 (ala Johncock) he can't be traded until he serves first year of the new contract. I think its call a Heffernan rule?????

this is why Skippy and Mattner may be vunerable in the next few weeks - when there are probably worse players on the list....this is a clear indication that the seeds for a crap year and long rebuilding period were sewn 2 years ago.....off with their heads

Yep. Doughty.

 

[spindoctor]

Fat chance of that. Craig loves him.

More likely Mattner

 

[Stiffy_18]

Yep. Doughty.

Apparently he is about to sign a new 2 year deal.

I would put him up on trade table first and if we can't get anything decent I would sign him up then

A little birdie tells me Doughty has just signed a 2 year contract so he will not be going anywhere..

Yep. Doughty.

Doughty is a better tagger than Shirley therefore Shirley can go
