Isaiah Papali’i #265

[FinestTigers]

I'll believe they're over when he's here for pre-season. Anyone who has asked for a release has eventually got one. Time will tell if those days are over.

If there was a reasonable genuine reason, then any player can ask for a release at any time,

But, most of the time any reason other than a genuine families concern reason would be very dubious.

This is supposed to be a professional sport so clubs and fans should expect players to honour their contracts without them trying to use childish reasons for an early release.

And let's not forget where he will be when he's OS - he'll be playing for Madge lol.

I would just love the club to come out and say he has signed a contact and we expect him to honor it and the subject is closed. They also need to talk to him Manager and say its best they state the same and that he is coming because if he doesn't want to come then he will be watching from sidelines for 3 years. Enough is enough.
The best way yo close it down is for the Player / Manager to speak up

I agree.
We would be better off paying him to sit on the sidelines for 3 years and not being walked over again.
I mean to be fair we already pay players to underperform week in week out so at least showing some backbone would be a positive for once.

You seem awfully confident, I hope you are right, we need to highlight the fact we let 3 secondrowers leave on the assumption he was here for at least the next 3 years, that in itself is solid grounds to win any appeal

 

[The SHADOW]

I’ve been told

I’ve been told

I have no reason to doubt you, that sounds promising, be nice if we could sign some others to make it more appealing to come here

They shouldn't and don't need to. But they did 2 weeks ago

You ask the questions sensibly 851, I can only tell you as of now it 100% stands
Speak your mind I LOVE IT.

Sheens already came out and said that the other week.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Sheens already came out and said that the other week.

I think the club has said it more than once.

The club cannot allow it to happen. We have let 3 guys go who have at some point this year been our starting second rowers. We have a fourth first grade quality second rower who is still young and recovering from an ACL. After that it's kids and the market is not flush with talent in the second row.

I think of all the times we have caved in, this time won't be one purely because it will torpedo our recruitment.

 

[tony soprano]

Tigers have been very political in their response regarding Papalii avoiding any big statements.

I'd say the jurno is just agitating a response from tigers to fuel the fire.

 

[tony soprano]

Remberr nrl is a very unethical grubby organisation.

 

[supercoach]

Till he turns up at the COE probably in early January after the end of season internationals I will not believe anything in the media on the subject

Tigers must play hard ball or just fold.

 

[Needaname]

Just increase the offer.
If Parra think they can keep him by matching his offer, push them further.
What have we got to lose?
Cap space? 🤣
