    Why would you want some one back who turned their back on a club that made him,is it that contracts mean @@@@???????....I dont care that he was a gun,the point is "HE WALKED OUT"so i say dont bother coming back.
    Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

      I guess some of us don't see it that way and I'm guessing most fo his team mates wouldn't either.

      I would say unless you are apart of the conversation (between Tadhg and the Club) you will never really know the truth of how everyone felt about his decision to go home.

      As far as the contract goes, Don't forget these people are a tight nit group and would no doubt judge his actions as friends and not just business partners.

        Tadhg's girlfriend is a Sydney girl and has not moved to Ireland with him, so the rumour of his 'return' probably has some legs to it.

          I'd rather have Shaw,Tadhg's last year was not good and his body was gone.
          Let's work with the future not the past! good luck to him though and thanks for the memories..the dream is over now though!

            It's not the fact that Tadhg went home to Ireland that gets up some peoples noses, its the way he did it. First he was in the papers saying how he was going to play out his contract, then next minute - gorn!!!! Seemed a bit off to me, not very loyal to the club or his team mates or the members. I don't think we should take him back personally. Give some of the young ones coming through a chance, plus he's a risk with all the injuries hes had. One final thought, it could all be nonsense, Hutchy isn't the most reliable source.

              You don't think that quote might be taken a little bit out of context? He said he came to "hate Australia" because it represented his isolation from his family. He didn't actually hate the country, he just hated how far away he was. It's not like he says, "Oh, Australia, never going back to that hell-hole". It wasn't the country itself, it was the location.

                I think I said somewhere in his "leaving thread" that he wants to come back to LIVE and teach in Australia, and that he was only going home for a year (words from his mouth).
                Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
                Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                  Fair enuff but a contract is a contract and football is a business and is a sport.

                    If he wants to come back , Id have him in an instant. He is easily in our best 22 when injury free, unfortunately he hadnt been so for two years, but as he is still on the list, what would you have to lose.

                      I agree, if we could get him back for nothing, than why not?

                          I hope he comes back to Sydney. I'd love to see him involved with the club and the league generally even if he doesn't play. Having someone of his maturity and experience to help settle kids in who are away from home would be priceless.
                          He's a great bloke. Love him.

                            Consider this. This guy... we'll call him Michael Jordan... won a few sporting events... let's call them NBA championships. His dad dies. He takes a year off to play another sport that he grew up on (baseball). Got the hunger back for the sport he was born to play... and made a comeback at 33... and earned himself another 3 championships!

                              Get him back?! He's still ours! We're not talking about Lockett having to be re-drafted. He's already occupying space on the list, so we're just going to make better use of him. Except he'll be fitter and stronger hopefully and, more importantly, in a better frame of mind. ie he - hopefully - wants to come back (as opposed to being injured and thinking about going home to achieve a life long goal like he might have been before he left).

                                Plus, it might help lure more Irish recruits out and keep them here
