Straight to the point, no bullshit, no troll. The Jet is a guy that loves this place, that is no secret as he never has looked like leaving. He may derail threads 90% of the time but he genuinely creates banter within whatever thread he enters, yes there are some circumstances where it is not needed, but thats something that can be worked on and I think that area can be worked on. Simming the games and posting them for SoO has shown good character from him as one might go away forever after being constantly knocked back by clubs. It also shows that he could be excellent within a club doing some stats kinda things.

Jobe/The Jet has had his chances, he has made bad decisions and has well and truly burnt his fair share of bridges. But why exclude him from this 'game' because of it. To constantly turn a guy away from the game which he enjoys is detrimental to the league.

So right now you are thinking, 'I have heard all this before', but this is where I come in.

I'm going to pair myself with The Jet and offer us up as a package to any club that will take 'both' of us on for Season 17. While you would get the unpredictable Jet, you would also get myself, whom has released the shackles of Captaincy and is going to take his posting to a new level. I also believe I can mentor The Jet into becoming a better poster within this league. If this goes south and there are no suitors then I will be lost to the league, something I am willing to do so everyone gets a fair go as this is a game afterall.


tl;dr version


Duggan pairs up with The Jet in a package deal as free agents looking for a club.

Enquire via PM if you wish too.

Absolutely outstanding.
No it's not.

It's a slap in the face to the Wonders to pair himself up with a known problem.

I have zero problem of having Jobe at the Wonders but I do not agree one bit with the way Duggs has gone about it.

So the Wonders can here lose a great servant if we don't take on Jobe?

Zero sense.

Hasn't ShaunDuggan already admitted waning interest? There is a fair chance he may be lost anyway, perhaps this is a chance to rekindle his enthusiasm weather it's at the Wonders or someone else?

And leaving the Roys after just two seasons and likely being earmarked as a future captain of theirs (vice captain, at least) isn't?

Duggs can do what he likes. He's been at the club for five (?) seasons, two of them as captain, and he's been a fantastic servant over the journey. If he's considering leaving because he sees something somewhere else, just as you did, who are you to get in his way?

Ladies and gentlemen, it does not make sense. Think about it: if Duggs wasn't willing to pair himself with "known problems", it is doubtful Pants would even be calling the Wonders "we" right now.

It. Does. Not. Make. Sense.

I rest my case.

If he wants to leave then fine, I have no issue with that, my problem is with the reasons why.

Don't hide behind Jobe for wanting to leave a team and play the hero card.

This isn't about where I play, I am not playing the 'hero card', its a statement. Everyone deserves to play this game and I am happy to stick my neck out and put it on the line for Jobe to get a go. If it doesn't work out then thats fine, I have made my point and so be it.

Yes you are. You now have I would think every team captain frothing at the mouth, to get Duggs all they need to do it sign Jobe and guess what we can just sack Jobe the second he does something wrong and we get to keep Duggs. Simple.

for me I want to sign Jobe but discussions with my leadership group are still going, having shaunduggan come along would be a nice get too and may help my cause in getting jobe.

Yes a perfect cherry on top.

We've discussed Jobe as well. Almost since day one of me joining the Wonders he has been a topic at times.

We don't want to force anyone to be in a team with him. The repercussions to that is losing a important player.
