Isaiah Papali’i #265

The only way he can get out of the contract is if there is a clause in there that allows him to backflip i.e. if Maguire is not the coach.

Surely the club isn't that stupid to put a coaching clause in the contract. If they are then whoever made that contract should be sacked.

There should also be a review on why Madge was sacked because it has been a disaster.

Why the Wests Tigers think they’ve salvaged the Isaiah Papali’i deal​

The Wests Tigers have held a meeting with star recruit Isaiah Papali’i in a desperate plea to avoid an ugly standoff over his services for next season.

The Parramatta back-rower has agreed to a three-year deal with the Tigers from 2023, but has been having second thoughts about his decision.

Papali’i has told those close to him that he wants to remain at the Eels next year. Sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to the Herald that Papali’i met with Tigers management a fortnight ago to raise his concerns.

They took him on a tour of the club’s centre of excellence in Concord, which is nearing completion, to show him what he could look forward to.

As of Tuesday morning, a Tigers official told the Herald that it had been indicated to them that Papali’i would honour his deal.

Papali’i has not requested a release. The meeting was arranged to seek clarity about the future of the club given the uncertainty surrounding the next coach.

Parramatta missed out on the back-rower’s signature after offering an underwhelming extension proposal late last year.

Parramatta were willing to upgrade his 2022 contract, which is worth $200,000, to about $275,000. They also offered him a two-year extension on top worth around $425,000 a season.

The Eels later increased that offer but Papali’i had already accepted the Tigers’ offer of a three-year deal worth in excess of $1.8m.

Having missed out on the services of Reed Mahoney, Oregon Kaufusi and Marata Niukore, the Eels have the salary cap space to keep him at the club. They’ve also granted Nathan Brown permission to talk to rival clubs about an immediate release. The Eels declined to comment when contacted.

It is understood Papali’i is citing the sacking of Michael Maguire as the reason for his change of heart.

He is also concerned about whether assitant coaches Nathan Cayless and Ben Gardiner, who he previously formed a bond with in Kiwi camp, will both be at the club next year as per the arrangement when he signed.

The Tigers have asked him to give the club more time to sort out its future before making his next move.

Fellow recruit Api Koroisau has indicated to Tigers officials that he has no such concerns and will honour his deal with the club from next season.

Thanks for posting mate

How amateurish does that sound. Hope it's not the club specifically coming out stating that.

I’m not a Pascoe or board basher. I’m not a supporter, just not a basher either. But if they roll over, Pascoe should go.

If they somehow stuff this up, then I want literally every employee gone. Board members included. Pascoe, McDonnell - all the way down to the intern social media videographers. Get rid of them all and start afresh.
I don't care how they're replaced - throw a bunch of monkeys into the COE with typewriters and see what they come out with.

Parra have played us off a break with Moses and Matterson and refusing to release Stef, this if true will be payback, all we need to do is say no

His contract with us legally not in effect till November 1st.
 
If this is true this is when our Club needs to stand up for itself and the members.
Very simple to say he has signed a contract and the deal is closed.
It's beginning to piss me off how quite Sheen is considering he supposes to be our leader.
FFS they need to get this coach situation sorted yesterday as well
