Player walk out

[Tigermad2005]

When was the last time we lost a player we really wanted to keep?

 

[Total Tiger]

Ottens?

 

[Tigermad2005]

Ottens?

Terry did not really want to keep him.

 

[Rosy]

I'm sure we would have wanted to keep Otto if his heart was in it at Tigerland. It wasn't and he didn't want to be there so no point hanging on to him. Disappointing, not only cos I have his signed jumper, but because he was such an important player to lose.

He did some good things up forward for us. Never did understand why he left. Don't think it was ever explained fully.

White perhaps?

 

[Sintiger]

White perhaps?

We offered him one year and port offered 3. I think that shows we didn't really want him, rightly or wrongly.

But yes he was offered a contract and walked

Tim barling

then that's the answer (although I think the club stuffed up on this).

White perhaps?

Wasn't wanted anyway.

 

[Rosy]

Wasn't wanted anyway.

That is clearly not true considering he was offered a contract. Wasn't wanted enough to offer a contract similar to Port's but he was still considered a required player on our terms.

 

[Tigermad2005]

So no one in the last 10 years then.
A few clubs can not say that.

 

[Rosy]

Yep we pretty much hold our players. They don't tend to leave and we don't tend to do big trades.

 

[pessimistic_]

So we just pretend we do not want Lennon?

 

[Rosy]

Where has Lennon gone and what has the club officially said about it? Of course we can think hard and find some examples but it's a pretty rare occurrence just the same.

A think the key to our success is to recruit players other clubs don't want.

Semantics - RFC neither sufficiently valued nor needed him and rightly so. History now anyway.
