Daniel Pearce

If he wants to get out of SA then Port can have Gram, Raph and Gamble for him. Fixes our SC and we get a guy with pace, skills and can hit the side of a barn by foot for a change.

Apparently not Plugg, but what on earth was RL on when he spoke of Mitch Clark?

maybe he had a plan for freeing up space in the cap to fit clark in... it's much easier to make massive trade calls as the senior coach than as the "list manager" or whatever pelchen's calling himself.

He forgot he wasn't at Freo yet.

If the Saints are serious about bringing in a ruckman they'd have earmarked some cash to get the deal done. RL may have gone but the need for another ruckman hasn't.

Or (and here's another possibility), RL had a plan to free up some cash involving trading out a well-paid player.

What are the odds of RL and CP having fallen out over list management?

A big chance there was a difference of opinion in relation to the list and any proposed changes / trading / drafting...

The was speculation that Pelchin had more power (was higher in the pecking order) than Ross, so its highly likely they would have clashed over something, at some stage considering what is reported in the media about each of their personalities.

Yes, the club has let it be known that it only wants to trade for draft picks and not players. But we don't want to let facts get in the way of people's fun.

I've read hundreds of these threads on this forum and can't recall any of them ever coming true.

Salopek FFS!

obviously we can't afford the 2 recruits we picked up?

They would be on the minimum and you must have a full list so they make no difference.

[AnythingsPossibleSaints]

I guess we've gotten a "cheaper" version of Pearce in Milera, hopefully bringing a similar set of skills and speed to the table.

[saintbob]

and we complain about about Gram being soft.......He makes Gram look like Lenny Hayes...

Mentally weak player......physically weak player......his record agaist us is atrocious

Agree 100%

[BigMart]

He could play that damaging HB or Back Pocket that runs the ball out of defense with no accountability.......until a team puts a good fwd on him who takes him to the cleaners in a grand final.....S.Johnson, T.Varcoe...

Davis, O'Brien were found out on the biggest stage....by good fwds...I wish Ross had of done this in 2010

Quite possible that it was where the clash started, if lyon wanted to trade out Rooey or something big and the board saw it as losing a marketing machine and a fav son -who knows, maybe despite what Pelchen wanted. Ross might have wanted to trade out a big name and recruit Gumbleton and the Pelican said no. Guess we will here two versions later down the track.
