Rumour has it battle told all the players and staff that he was going to stay and sign once we upped the offer, 3 days later he text everyone saying he's out.

Take that as you want.

That's some pretty strange behaviour. He's always seemed like a bit of a dimwit. The whole "he's an amazing character" thing obviously total nonsense. Good player though.

Especially that he wanted to run out through the banner with his daughter for the last game

I was fortunate enough to be on the USA east coast when we played the Bulldogs, so missed that debacle entirely!!

The good Lord was with that evening TB.

That night was an absolute shocker..!!!!!

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

It's clear there has been something that has led to the souring of relations between the two parties.

A player leaving in isolation doesn't annoy people these days.

yeah fair, from the outside it looks petty but obviously there's more to it.. I'll await the findings of the royal commission

 

[Diehard Saint]

When no one else gives a shit about us, whether we win or lose or the players that go. I feel galvanized to this club knowing that our pres is not putting up with the hand fed shit the AFL feeds us every year to make up the numbers. I thank you. Keep fighting the good fight for us Pres because no one else will.

Makes you wonder why none of the many past presidents never had the drive (ok, let’s call it balls) to do this before.

Understand your point but that’s like saying do not irrationally scream at the tv when a 50/50 decision goes the wrong way. THAT is the industry and it’s based on passion.

Both perspectives are sort of correct.

As long as nobody bops him on the head when he is walking down the street it’s all really pantomime.

I can understand yelling at the tv in the instant at a dodgy call. But any sensible person can watch something again shortly after and be reasonable. Also, a bad call is something that is in contradiction with the rules of the game.

Someone leaving the club completely in accordance with the rules, and being bitterly abused weeks later on a fan forum is not the same.

As I said, both are kind of correct. People are reacting to what they are reading.

Like you have been as well. Reacting to people’s reactions! Surely that is worse than reacting to something? Maybe that is why kids like watching you tube videos of other kids opening presents? I don’t know. I just know that both sides can be correct. Something that more people should try and accept.

We don’t need this place being like twitter forum specialising in saints chat.

I guess I’m hoping this could be a place that values truth and facts. (There is also opinion on here obviously, but people’s “opinion” on what may have actually happened is irrelevant in this case). Rather a forum that mindlessly reacts to and repeats rumours continuously until they’re considered truth because they’ve been posted so many times.

He’s a person that chose to leave the club, just like we hope LDU or Brayshaw may do one day. No one would care if you moved jobs, but Josh and his partner now get abused online becuase of it.

Glad he wasn't there.

Fire enough. I’m not chasing a fight.

A few people would care if I moved job though. And I would get sued if I went to a competitor, but probably not trolled on line…

true, our players are allowed to leave the club as long as they leave to take up a trade, i think that's a fair compromise

 

[mighty_sainters]

I love the argument, I bet you Bassat wouldn’t be saying anything if Saints had plenty of father sons over the past decade.

Well no shit?
