On purely footballing reasons, he should be retained. His class really does stand out.

Whether footballing reasons are enough is the key.

According to Dimma, that's exactly what will be the determining factor. That means he stays ;D

Based on that, if he doesn't stay then questions would need to be asked.

Considering Cuz is constantly in our best players. If he doesnt get a other year questions will definitely be asked.
Over to you Dimma and footy dept.

It mightn't be their decision. Same as when he was first signed.
 
SECRET: The players tanked today to prove to the club that they need Cuz for 1 more season.........

Given Dimma has said it is a purely football decision, I would hope to god it is the footy department's decision and no other parts of the club have an influence in this.
 
I guess you could argue that a football decision is not just about form or being in the best 22. It could also entail what's best for the list going forward.

It's a small stretch, but if he's delisted I bet they use that angle.

Not you too Baloo, that's Dimma's well worn line for this year. Hope he finds a new one for 2011. :p

I was only joking Tuby.

Geez.... there must be some real sooks out there tonight. Get over excited when we win and start panicking when we lose. Get a grip.

It's not the loss, it's how we went about it that I'm so bitterly disappointed in. big deep breath, life goes on

Exactly. I don't like giving up one of my 2 days off for the week to watch that rubbish.
 
Cousins was fantastic out there today and was one of our few winners and that should be enough to convince the powers that be that he should go on next year.

Agreed. If we cull the players we should cull ie Polo, Thompson, Hislop among others we are going to need to keep Ben for at least "onballer" insurance.
