He pays it indirectly man.... his sponsorship gives the club money which pays the wages.

Man our supporters really like to attack our own. No wonder we suck.

No, he doesn't.

The NRL gives all clubs a grant which covers all of the players salaries. His sponsorhsip may help get another staff member into the marketing and membership teams and keep the fridge in the lunchroom full but he does not contribute a cent towards any players salary.

As confusing as this will sound - if the roles were reversed with the club legend being the chairman and the sponsor deal being Lee and this story broke who's side would you be on?

No one even knows what Lee said to Chris, if it was that bad the quote would be out in the papers right now. As a club we were as shocking as we were before Lee came... so the issue is beyond Lee. We just love to use him as the scapegoat, imo the real issue is Pascoe not the guy who you can tell genuinely cares for the club and pours money into it (unlike others like Harry who just watch on).

Take away the persona and look at the situation entirely - I understand Chris is adored and Lee is the villain but let's be unbiased in this scenario. This private exchange should've never been brought up to the media let alone Hooper - especially the day after we seem to have some positive attention come our way with the Fainu's. Kicking the club when it's already down and out in the manner he did should never be the avenue a club legend takes.

Agree private msgs should remain private.

More interested as to how Hoops even had a convo with Chris where the msgs came up.
Not a good look for Chris.

Will have no effect, if the 4 million over four years for both is true then it’s not that much . Bula will get a good up grade as he should , as should pole . As we have said on here many times we need to pay overs to get them here , maybe this we bring more in

I read it was much closer to $2 million over the 4 years for both players. Braith just being an ignorant and arrogant twat.
Bula should get an increase an extension in the offseason, reward him for his good play.

I can assure you those figures are off regarding $2 million over 4 years each.

I believe Latu is on around 250-300k with the last 1-2 years being around 400-450k with incentives built on which could take him to 500k. Samelua is on slightly lower $ wise. We got a good deal.

Not 1000% on numbers but around that ball park.

Was mentioned a few pages back but Connor Tracey has not signed with Parra. Im related to him

He would be a great 5/8 for us next season as Latu develops & then move into the centres (and another back-up fullback) 😉

I'm all for doing a deal with the Sharks as I've heard he's a great club man & type of character we need more of. Swap with AJ or Simpkin.

This makes no sense.
Firstly we weren’t flogged in that game, we applied the flogging in one of our best performances in a decade.
Secondly, why would Rowdy send a smart arse text to the chairman? Would they know each other enough to be that close?
Thirdly, Lee got the shits that we won and forced a very popular player out?
Fourthly, do the words “you can’t be happy with this” when we are winning so we’ll, infer people within our club think the board are tanking the season?

To me this is complete bullshit. However it does require confirmation from Chris.

Yeah... I was skeptical

Rowdys insta yesterday

So within the last 24 hours the club has announced arguably the brightest prospect in the game on a 4 year deal in a position we need desperately. Signed up his brother who also has loads of potential as he captained the U19's NSW team. On top of that, we just re-signed our best player/captain after speculation he may want out.

Fulton and Benji take a bow.....

That rift between Fulton and Benji must be serious. Quality journalism.
