Based on what is said here, any other club would be mad to take Hogan. Personally, I hope that Hogan and Blakely stay, and work their backsides off, and earn a spot in the team. And I hope the team is picked based on the actual value each player adds to the ability of the team on the day.
Our premiership window is opening now. We need depth now. Sure we need to get promising youngsters, but nobody we get will provide what Hogan and Blakely can provide right now.
I'd like to think that the mark of a good club is to get the best out of any talented player. But to be fair, the mark of a good club is also to know when to stop trying. And I'm not there at the coal face, so I don't know.
