| Quote: Dave K. "If he spends on the sideline the last thing people will ve moaning about will be how we announced the signing.
The press isn't that negative and neither should it be.
Think this is a big overreaction, we definitely could have handled it better so could Beaumont, but it isn't a big deal.
We have a lot bigger concerns than this.'"
It was more about the fact that Asiata felt the need to absolve himself, highlight his loyalty to Leigh, his financial motives and apologise. Doesn't exactly instil confidence.
I completely agree that Beaumont shooting his mouth off created the issue. Hull's error in judgement created the opportunity though. You're right, it's not a big deal, it's just a talking point that shouldn't have gained any airtime or column inches. There'll be another story later in the week and this will all be forgotten... hopefully.

It will be yesterdays news soon enough and what is wrong with a player saying his motives are financial, particularly a Dream Team representative at that. His signing was a great piece of work by Myler and should instil confidence that we are looking at high end players and aren't afraid to pay the big bucks for the star names. It is all a storm in a teacup and just smacks of Beaumont being petulant.

| I can think of 220,000 reasons why Asiata will be happy at FC for the next 3 seasons

If I'm correct you are allowed 3 marquee signings one of which has to be federation trained so Whitehead would fit the bill.

Whitehead would be a great signing but I would be surprised if he came. If that's the case we would be limited in finding a federation player worth a marquee wage. It may take a transfer fee but will a club sell one of their best players? no one springs to mind.

It would have been bad business to delay the announcement.'"
My view, it was to attract more interest in the Managerial vacancy from more reputable people.

| Quote: DarksideDave "It still doesn't look good when an incoming player feels the need to make a public apology about how his new club handled the announcement, regardless of what we think. When did that ever happen?
Optics are important. Sponsors and investors become cautious of negative press which can soon get out of hand. It's ok being hard faced about it but there's no point in creating unnecessary negativity.
If Asiata spends a significant time on the side lines in the next three years, the club will look foolish. The player himself has alluded to the fact that he's coming for one last big pay cheque. Be all about the business but be smart with it.'"
I think you're reading too much into it. We released a statement quoting Asiata and now Leigh have done the same. It smacks of Leigh trying to save face. Beaumont is obviously upset at losing his captain.

| I was told Whitehead as a marquee a couple of weeks ago, think I put it on here too. I think the only other side he would go to is Catalan if they show interest
