Re: Scott Pendlebury bats away contract talk as Greater Western Sydney circles
Have heard some interesting musings that we have no worries of any any players other than Cloke and Pendles leaving, but it is pretty simply put - Pendles is likely to leave if he doesn't get the captaincy and Cloke is likely to leave if he doesn't get offered more money.
In my own opinion - if we didn't lose anyone of note to a much better opportunity in Gold Coast, we won't lose anyone to falafel town. Once again, it's simple - Gold Coast was lifestyle and money, GWS is purely money. Cloke was offered far more by Essendon and denied them (however he is now much better and is confident in his worth) and Pendles would have been offered as much as Ablett to go to GC but stayed because he wants to captain the Pies and win premierships.
