Right Right Lets do a Davey or a Jamar Give him $500000 pa plus for another 4 years and really root our chances at building a great team without underperforming hacks with potential

better to "do a Rivers" and let him go for Gillies?

.....at least we wouldn't need to wait years to know how it works out

Where has Rivers bagged Neeld? Quote or link?

Sure there was a thread here but seems to have disappeared... Hmmm....

Anyways, try here: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/jared-rivers-interview-on-sen.1004830/

We should try hard to keep Colin. He has experience that we need. The right coach can still make something of Colin's career.

I hope he stays. Yes he frustrates me but i do not want him playing elsewhere.

We kept him 4 years ago when he could have been traded.

I hope he doesn't walk.

Get the right coach.

Thanks for that, Colin.

Your welcome!

The club has yet to contact me.

what we need is the right attitude by the players Sylivia included. Not sure I agree with the lack of experience is causing all our ills. Other clubs have young players in playing well and winning games.

What if we fight hard but he wants to go somewhere where he can win?

well than i have to accept that. But alot of people are saying on here anyway that he should go and they dont care, and he's been useless. If he does not want to stay thats acceptable.. but thats not my point

You are a lil deluded I think .Col doesnt try hard for the club Col trys hard for Col when contract time is on Then just goes a way what a waste of all that potential Club will be better without him and would deliver an immediate improvement in culture. Walk away

We will not be better without him, not at all. his replacement will be rubbish... Than you lose out on someone who has won us matches.. probably to be replaced by someone who's done sweet FA

It's a bit defeatist though, rpfc. He's been a frustrating and inconsistent player over the journey, but his experience and body size are a requirement for our list. Particularly in the midfield. At least he has the skills and ability, rather than having to recruit a far less talented, experienced player like a Gilles or Pedersen, whose skills aren't up to it.
