If he continues to not be in the first 17 it might encourage him to look towards medical retirement, if eligible like he said.

Not great for him or our cap.

Who cares what he is on, he earned that contract.
Just let him play out the next two years in reserve grade on near 10% of our cap and we can keep blaming other players/coach when we aren't as competitive as we'd like to be.

Also the cap doesn't matter and you shouldn't have higher expectations of higher paid players and lower expectations of lower paid players.

Also he is still worth it because of what he brings off the field.

I can’t see him playing on past this season, sad for him to go out this way, his mind wants to play on but his body is pulling up stumps.

Andrew has been linked with the Dragons, Hook has had a meeting with him, seeing he isn't playing first grade.

I'd hate for him to play for those clowns.

Thoughts?

Would be painful seeing him run out for the Dragons. Can’t let that happen

That’s sad if true... hope he is able to work something out.. doesn’t deserve his career to end here in reserve grade as it has been

If Tracey plays centre I would pick him to play this weekend 10'minutes either side of half time would be plenty out of him on a four forward bench.

When you say meeting, I thought they were just having a casual chat before/after the round 1 game.

Sure, a casual meeting in which Hook could say 'surprised to see you in reserve grade, I definitely would have you higher up the pecking order in my side, I know the true value of a player like you and someone as talented and hansom as you is surely still able to play NRL' and then Fifita says 'I agree with all of that, maybe I need to look at changing teams'
And then his manager rings the Dragons and says 'yo you serious about my boy Andy or what?'

And now we have a scenario where 'casual chat' has easily turned into legal negotiations.

Is it weird that I read that in different voices?

Depends how many, it has three people speaking so three would be a good number of voices.
6+ and something is seriously wrong with you

If you got Hooks voice right you wouldn't make it to Fifitas line as you'd have bored yourself already.
