It's weird with Mason, every time I saw him play Fullback it was like "You have done everything right but score". I feel he does a good "cover" job but isn't at first grade standard.
Ultimatums to your employer usually don't end well.
And I believe this could be a motivation. Madonna sang "the man with the cold hard cash is always Mr Right" and I believe she could be on the money. WTs has a budget and a club needing a first-grade hooker may be prepared to pay more. At this stage, Da Silva has failed to hold down the first grade hooking role at our club.
We don't know what discussions have taken place but what we do know is his manager has given the club it's him or me spiel. His doing his best for Da Silva but at the same time has backed the club into a corner to make a decision now. He brought up the 5 clubs being interested if he is on the market and it seems to me the club is being very fair to the player and his manager. The manager has many clients at our club and we appear to have a good relationship with him. I am optimistic a good deal will be agreed upon.
It seems some people never learn….
You will get there some day.
I can see what’s likely happening here and my expectation is we have lost another gun young player.
Tom you Shine in your comments about TDS! What if Api gets injured and we lose him for the remainder of 2025? Does the club seriously want SPOON number four in a row?
Rolling over? Is that what a crocodile does?
The club has a comprehensive view of the situation, whereas most of us have little or a partial view. One or all of the 5 clubs interested may be willing to pay substantially more for Da Silva than our club. Cash counts.
