[Saint Watto]

Still rumours running rampant of Robbo to Hawks.

Mat Mann....where are you hearing all these rumours from?

Still rumours running rampant of Robbo to Hawks.

Any rumors of what they will trade back for him? Some magic beans maybe ?

No rumours. But the Hawks can trade their 2018 first rounder.

The problem is that while that speeds up the Hawks rebuild, that it slows down ours. But then again the Hawks do not give a stuff about us.

You can see what the Hawks might want to to do. Trade for someone like Robbo and then get say two FAs like Rockcliff and Trengove and then bang they are back playing finals again.

It's a terrible proposition, removing the guy likely to finish 2nd in our best and fairest.

 

[Mat Mann]

sources probably are unreliable but they're still out there, the lack of news from the Saints is just a s concerning imo

 

[JG22]

I swear we heard something from Richo saying we will have news on him in the coming weeks, weeks ago.

In light of recent concerns about info being posted, can we be sure that this Richo fella is really an ITK? [emoji848]

Well with new tonight that Kelly is not joining us in 2018

Unfortunately Kelly is staying at GWS.

it means that we will have ample TPP room to pay Robbo.

This is 100% legit and from Ameet to me directly.

Me: Hey Ameet. Fair bit of garbage swirling around re: Robbo. Are we close to announcing something or a bit more to do?

Ameet: All under control

Relax boys and girls..

Greg Williams' daughter just smiles smugly when i ask her.
That bitch knows something.!!!!

 

[StCicatriz]

if roberton is going, he's going. we just need to get the best deal possible for him

if he stays, great!

i think losing him hurts the rebuild/finals push though

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Heard four year extension for Roberton. Nice one to put away for you guys.

[Saint Watto]

Thank goodness for that....all the very nervous nellies can finally get a good nights sleep.

Lol....

Fantastic news that he's now locked in for another 4.

Says plenty about what the club think of him to secure a 4 year deal....AWESOME.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Mitch Cleary reporting he had to change managers. Any ideas as to why?

Think I'll wrap this thread up. Both have been signed and there's multiple threads to discuss each/both in!
