Fair enough.
Nobes is a good operator. You'd think he wouldn't make such remarks without knowing the fate of our own players approaching free agency. I take some small comfort in that he must have a view of where the situations with Sloane/Danger are heading.
He took a punt on Danger. He believed that we could keep him. Thats ok. He is in talks with his manager and Danger himself, so he would have a better idea than me of his possible intentions.
But he cannot take that risk without then doing everything to make sure we get fair value if he does leave. If we just take a mid first round compo pick then he should be sacked. No ifs, no buts, no maybes.
If they match the offer, force it to trade and get a good deal, then I will say they did the right thing. I cannot stomach another example of us losing top talent for no fair compensation. I dont want my club to be a talent feeder club. At the moment thats what we are.
