We get nothing I’m pretty sure
If he leaves as free agent we will receive some compo (unlikely much), unless it is cancelled out by us getting a FA ourselves.
The difference being that those players were still capable of playing in the best line up. They had specific on field roles and did them well. Hepp isn’t in our best team so what role does he play?
Has he retired yet?
Hepp says that Rutten has the full support of the players
The players don’t have the full support of the fans, Hepp especially.
Fans make the club, don’t they? Ie no fans no club.
So, gone?
No FA compo?
Full support of the players, because they know they can play with no effort, and just ignore the coach on the bench, with no consequence.
I’d love to work for someone I can ignore… But unlike Essendon I live in the real world.
I think his hoping rutten stays so he gets abother year. When clarko comes in, he’ll sweep the place clean
Well they sure dont show it in the way they play!
You would expect them to show some effort… he must feel very let down by the players.
Correct
If that is full support of the players, the players want him gone.
I dont want to see Hepp disrespected. People here can say what they like about his captaincy and its success or failures. I have my own views. I still think he has been a great player for us. He has actually played well this season. Possibly lost a yard. But he has done OK.
If Clako comes in a strips the captaincy off him, so be it, I wont be crying about it. But I wouldn’t mind seeing him play out another year.
He should 100% take the Gold Coast offer and join a really exciting young list that will add King to it next year. Would be expecting to push for finals next year
Had his career destroyed by the club. Any of the 34 have my respect.
Is FA compo worth draft points? Or is it just any pick?
Given Hepp is hitting 30 and any new deal is probably going to be 2 years max on only reasonable money id expect it wouldn’t be anymore than maybe a late second round?
I was more speculating a ridiculous North 3 year mega $ spiteful contract to get Hepp in retaliation for Clako.
Big enough to trigger a decent pick.
The only that sucks more than our captain is a Dyson with a Hepa filter.
Right that would teach us a lesson.
It would be such a north thing to do. I’m secretly wishing for it to happen. Heppell gets a 3 years 850k and a year gig with an additional three year coaching gig and we get an after first round pick compo selection.
There was no GC offer. His manager was playing the media to get Heppell a better deal.
Wouldn’t surprise me in the least. No club with any aspirations is offering him a 2 year deal
