Its a good idea I grant you. However anybody with a basic understanding of employment law will tell you that their not always needed.

So you are going by speculation on our board now

Dont worry Berrigan will play plenty of games this season, but thanks for your concern.

As said before at least he has played a game this season and was injured while training.

Unless it's Matt Sing.

That statement would suggest that he had some credability in the first place. We all know that isn't the case though

P.S. Like your sig. do you like mine

I think he should concentrate his energies into writing works of fiction! He might actually make some money out of that imgination of his then!

Or Chev Walker.

Poor attempt

First name I thought of

I'm not saying the deal was possible at all.

Justin Morgan goes about every avenue he can to make sure he's bringing the most suitable players to the club. This involves gaining as much information as possible through other coaches who have worked with players before. In Berrigan's case, the obvious choice to speak to would be Jon Dixon, who spent several years coaching Berrigan at Brisbane. In this instance Jon Dixon mentioned what were descibed as "home truths" which put Justin Morgan off pursuing any interest in the player.

You have to remember that Berrigan's agent touted every SL club (as any agent worth his salt would) to see what they would offer and as it turned out, Hull FC were the only club prepared to offer him a four-year deal at such a late stage in his career.

What part of this process do you think would not happen?

1) Do you not think Berrigan's agent would tout every SL club to get the best deal for his player?

2) Do you not think Justin Morgan would speak to coaches who have worked with players he is considering trying to sign?

You have to appreciate there are reasons why Justin Morgan has delivered the rate of progress he has, and his recruitment processes have delivered a hell of a lot more hits than misses, hence our meteoric rise...
