But you're right, having Conroy slam the brakes on a Hanifin extension, then having that leak to the media is a work of genius. Now we have Hanifin, Lindholm, Tanev, Zadorov, etc. most of which are at o near lows in terms of trade value heading to UFA. I'm sure Conroy will get a real haul of assets for them.

So lie to them?
