Is there any concern that GWS are offloading or potentially offloading more stars like Scully, lobb etc and that if these deals get done they might renege on being so easy to deal with for shiel? Should we be rushing to get him over the line ?
Seems like maybe I was right on Friday when people were certain there was no grounds to it. Hopefully this is not the case.

I know a lot of people here don't rate Colyer (I definitely think he's gone past his best), but he has been a great servant for the club. He's a good leader and apparently a really nice bloke.

People shouldn't be celebrating because he's leaving. He should be thanked for his service, even after the club put him through crap for 5 years.
Can't we do both? I'm happy that he's leaving (if true) because to me it shows that we'll have a stronger 22 in 2019. I can also appreciate that he gave his all for the club (or at least appeared to), and wish him well wherever he goes next

It would be pretty reasonable to assume Shiel would feel a little underwhelmed on how the club has handled this.

Also underwhelmed would be any player in the next few years wanting to come to us. So difficult.
Doubt it. The club hasn't handled it all that badly. GWS have suddenly got to a point where they dont need to discard all of their players, and they've moved the goalposts.

Plus, I doubt he will rock up for day 1 of pre season in a shitty mood because his deal took a while to be done.
