“We haven’t actually gone by way of the method of discussing it with a number of the key folks, letting them know the explanations that we would or may not be bidding and we’ll in all probability work by way of that tomorrow and hopefully tomorrow night time when it occurs there’s nonetheless a little bit of a shock component to it.”

“We’re distinctive on the Giants. We’re a younger membership, we’ve been in for 10 years, we wish guys who’re going to come back and construct the membership, the membership’s not totally constructed, we’re nonetheless going by way of that course of.
“Somebody like Cadman and his character and all the pieces about him off the sector, that’s somebody who needs to purchase in, and who will make others higher and who is nice for our footy membership long run, on subject and off subject.”
