Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Chammas (SMH) and Read (DT) were Lee's chosen journalists to whom he gave his exclusive interviews to immediately following his sacking...

He even specifically referred to them on his radio spot with Vossy immediately after the event saying "I spoke to Chammas and Read - I like those boys"...

Just two of the long lunch crew who regularly benefited from the Tigers corporate card being on high rotation!

This...sorry I just read this now, this is orchestrated

Bulla got clauses as well , re money $ 900 k min. after couple years on current contract

He is a long way from a 900k per season player at the moment, lets see what he does in 2025, no more excuses.
His clause is great for us, if he don’t live up to expectations we can get rid of him, or if he fulfills his potential in 2025 we can pay him 900k for 2027 and beyond and keep him.
 
I have a feeling Richo is working on a plan to bring this person Leaking info to light.
He would not be happy and if I'm the person leaking info I would be very concerned.
Clearly, we are a massive club as these clauses are on a lot of players contracts, but we are the click bait.

Cannot wait for the footy to start so we can move on.

IMO - Laui is he long term and will lead this club to success.

If its a player manager he can't do anything

Having clauses for Utoikamanu when he was unproven,
or giving Tumeth player options etc is stupid, but
that was old admin, and we're talking about Jarome
Luai here not some bum. Be grateful you fool lol

Not being able to tell the difference in taking a risk with such clauses for a genuine marquee compared to previous clauses by old admin highlights your take on said poster

Geez you love a rant and crap on alot.

No I didn’t say that. There was no comment about if he could perform in his 30s, the comment was re salary and as to if a top club would pay $1.2m or come close to that for him at 30+.

He has been performing for years, is a rep player and was on the market with no high profile club put in a competitive offer in this time round - do you really think in 12-18mths time that will change?

Of course it could.
 
Managers are controlling the game. Clauses will be a feature in plenty of elite players contract when they leave high profile clubs for the dollars in struggling clubs. The clauses will disappear when the players are in the back end of their careers looking for the retirement package when the 4 year deals then become the preferred options.

With that kind of thinking Richo may have already set his trap and caught his rat/s but i doubt it,bloody weird why Luai n Bula's contracts have spewed out the last 24hrs

Bula is a good player but he is long way from being a 900 k player

Tell him he's dreamin

That is why he would only receive $900K in 2027 under the mutual option!

He is not curren

Stupid to try to predict what his market value will be in 2027 - in an expanded comp with increased salary cap after he has played two more full seasons of NRL!

Wouldn't be surprised at all if it's Isaac Moses. After all his star client Galvin is about to start negotiating and it's hard not to allow him to insert clauses into his contract if Luai has them. Plus how many people would know Bula was switching to Moses aswell as the details of his current contract.

So because many people point it out, it makes it right?

Maybe so. But given the success of the Storm and Bellamy, I can’t imagine too many reasons why Can Munster would quit the club. Plus, these clauses of other players don’t seem to be broadcasted in the media.

I would have signed him. I just wish the club would have been up front.

Absolutely I would have. He’s completely out of his depth. He was appointed for PR purposes

We could have signed an established coach for one thing

Why would have signing an established coach been a circus. And besides, Luai is what got us May. So it would have been a non factor in relation to his signing imo.

He has a great resume. However, I can rattle off 20 individuals, be they players, coaches or admin whose careers went backwards coming to our club. How was Madge’s record before he came. Premiership winning coach. Came here, failed and supporters ran him out on a rail. Since he left, he’s won an Origin series and got appointed coach at one of the competition’s glamour club’s. This club does funny things to people.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Is any clause in a contract ridiculous? This seems like the kind of circumstance where if it got Luai over the line it is warrented.

I understand the Benji issue. Its pretty clear he was struggling last year. He will be accountable this year. I would argue that a coaching search for a mythical experienced coach would have been extremely destabilising, making it difficult to sign players and sort sponsorship, compared to the current really positive off. But thats my opinion, yours is different.

I don't think any of the points you have made make Richo "as bad as Pascoe" not even close. Based on a very narrow range of outcomes you are giving him a fail mark, we can agree to disagree.

Dude, I’m just hot and annoyed. I’ll learn to live with it. I’ve come this far with this club. What’s one more let down.
