Not when "read" is used very loosely. He likely just scrolled and looked at usernames keeping an eye for sharks players. Wouldn't have taken more than 10 minutes.

Fair enough mate. For an old timer like me it just seemed a ridiculous thing to say.

He could have said 14,000,000 messages and it would have been just as ridiculous.

Haha yeah not having a dig, just the nature of social media.

Putting my foil hat on, do you think the club has known for a while that Holmes was leaving? He was by far our most marketable player yet he wasn’t 1 of 4 players on the 2019 calendar printed a couple of months ago.

Nah, no one would’ve expected him to pull what he pulled. Otherwise we would’ve signed someone up in advance. I think they always knew he was likely to leave after 2019 though, which is maybe why they opted not to put him on the calendar.

I haven't seen any link today but my mate today told me the situation with Holmes, he is coming back to us, the NFL situation has been cancelled lol. That's not right is it?

With the strong chance we lost Val for 2020 anyway this situation is far above what we could have hoped for.

My thoughts exactly. We’ve replaced a world class player with another world class player. Flanno didn’t panic buy when Val pissed off and low and behold, a world class player popped up in front of him ripe for the picking.

We're a better team with this set up to be perfectly honest.

I’ll never be worried about another player leaving again. If you have money you can pick up just about anyone.

Is Flanno the best recruiter in the game atm? I’d throw brown in the mix, but it only started with Ponga last year. Flanno has been picking up stars since he got the gig

edit* just saw your post in the other thread
