I see wording that he wants to win a premiership and he see that with the Sharks.

Pfft, you have a real chance right here in the now, dude.

Could’ve been part of a Dynasty here.

He talks about having a window to win a premiership - funny thing is, it’s more likely he’ll win one here next year with us and never get another.

Up the Wahs.

The sharks... Perennial chokers against top 8 opposition...winning a premiership... Yeah good luck with that AFB 👍
 
He’s what 29? Had his breakout season after being in the game for how long - 10 years? Been cut from teams, requested multiple releases early and been overall disruptive.

Now we get him in his prime for one more year and then the sharks pay him $1mll a season when he becomes a possible liability phisically and commercially. Who’s to say Webster isn’t the one to make AFB look great with the structures he put in and the players around him SJ, Tohu etc.

Idk. I’m not too bummed when I think about. Wished he stayed but I’m already over it
 
Pretty sure you can't take Staffys to Australia.
Per pettravel.com... The following dog breeds are not permitted to enter Australia: Dogo Argentino, Fila Brazileiro, Japanese Tosa, Pit Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull, Perro de Presa Canario or Presa Canario. The American Staffordshire Terrier is not included in Australian legislation.
 
I know it was tough seeing him request a release. When it comes to family issues it is tough for a club not to grant a release. I'm glad we've managed to get a compromise and got another year out of him.

Some people are looking into things to question his attitude like he wouldn't be putting in on the field. I can't fault his performances, he has been making his metres every week, he does some tough runs. We are going to miss him big time.

He joined us during the pandemic and also came back to NZ when the club returned home where a lot of others didn't.

You can never question his commitment to the club.
