Sailor called out the Dragons for making "massive mistakes" when dealing with McInnes' future at the club, and was at a loss to understand how a player of his quality would be allowed to walk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"The Dragons have made massive mistakes there, he's been one of their most consistent and best over the last five years.<\/p>\n
"He brings culture, he's got an aura and he's nicest kid in the world.<\/p>\n
"I can't believe it, there's something wrong with the Dragons' culture when you're letting a bloke like that go.<\/p>\n
"And it's not about the money, they didn't even offer him a contract \u2013 it's embarrassing.<\/p>\n
"Cam McInnes when he goes to the Sharks will play 13 \u2013 he's an 18th man for the Blues.<\/p>\n
"He's close to Cookie (in the pecking order for NSW's hooker role).<\/p>\n
Sailor also had reservations about Griffin's decision to rekindle his relationship with Andrew McCullough. Griffin coached McCullough and Ben Hunt at the Broncos, yet the move is dubious according to Sailor, especially with respect to McCullough's injury history.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"Macca will be at the Dragons. Anthony Griffin and him have a bit of a bond there.<\/p>\n
"I'm, happy for Macca to be at the Dragons for two years.<\/p>\n
"But if they've offered three years to a 31-year-old whose done his ACL\u2026 I think it's a bad business decision."<\/p>\n
Speaking after the Dragons's 36-28 trial loss to the Sharks, Griffin described McInnes' injuy as "sad" and said trial form will be crucial in deciding who will replace him.<\/p>\n
"We'll have a look at it, see what fits us. Cam's a little unique because he can play hooker or lock. He plays well above his weight and can play 80 minutes as well.<\/p>\n
"We've got two trials leading into the competition, so we'll see who puts their hand up. There's an opportunity there now. It's sad to lose him but there's an opportunity there."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
