Also, don't forget the Dogs GF appearances coincided with the poop storm that followed the salary cap breach.
money bill+nasser mohammed*anthony mundine=1 loved up kid on a poop load of money.
i wouldn't focus too much on the sonny bill situ/statements, he said a lot of poop when he was safe in london about folkes. Despite him and club having done their best to give him a better shorter deal, had they caved to his demands he would've walked out on 2/3 more years of a contract.
if i was to be bothered by anything, it'd be more the willie mason and stupid chums thing that arose, which again wasn't down to football reasons and it seems to be something thats rearing it's head again now in the nrl with the japanese ru offers, making money outside of RL in the off season. Mason wanted to take part in the that boxing match what would've made him a poop load of money and got told no, then fined then up and left.
it's a bit disapointing the way the board sort of let him slide out of the franchise last year, i wonder whether he'd want to work with (as mentioned many times previously)a possibly, 'weak' board room.
