@Anon - its sad when a man's word isn't enough anymore. If expecting a man to honour his word (verbal/handshake agreement) is naive, then karma showed its a wicked mistress in the end. All 3 agreed to terms, were given contracts and then wouldn't sign them / delayed - obviously other teams not negotiation during RFA isn't enforced with the Tigers ? (DD's comments saying he had to make a decision 2 weeks before RFA ended...)

That said, Dorsey and Chewie got 10% more per year than with the Cairns contracts. 12 months later - neither has a job and DD stood by his principles and quit the Tigers and has no job. What that shows that while in Cairns, a man's word is paramount, in Melbourne, a man's word and a contract don't mean shit.

Thanks Spursfan that's what i'm talking about. Prob did us a favour as they would have had ego stinking 2nd years anyway. Not so dirty on imports as money is their game. Dillon sucking up now for a 2nd chance. Karma's a bitch!!

Sigh. We're going to miss the finals again.

Anon, Cairns is bitter about how the players went about it. Apparently there were handshake deals between a couple/all of the three players and then they went back on their word.

Imagine if Dorsey, Dillon & Ubaka all came crawling back to Cairns...

Never bite the hand that feeds u!!
