    I’m not so sure, I don’t think Cadia mine in orange are stressing about what Newcrest are paying there guys moresby. Clubs will know that they won’t compete on dollars but you can say, live right on the beach at the GC, be relatively unknown in Melbourne. Live amoungst the pollies in Canberra...

    I’ll take your word for it about bouginville - i haven’t kept up to date on it. But the point remains that you could be a social worker or an electrician and go to these areas on more coin. Only a fraction of the people that go stay, even with the lure of more money, better compounds and...

    I think the bigger bet would be, how many leave before there contract expires or re-signs.

    State of Origin 2026

    What happened to the toads vs cockroaches? Why don’t we use those mascots anymore, are the still known by them, or were they ever? Was it just an advertising campaign or was it lost during the super league wars? No google or AI allowed….

    Yes the figures are real, but these opportunities are available for everyone in most industries and most people don’t take them up. You can work for the mines in Boganville earning far more than they pay in regional Australia. You could have been a government “process immigration officer” in...

    It really, it would be your own contract. If you paid him a 10 year 3rd party deal you could always have a clause saying our company strategy needs it to be a tigers player so if you leave this third party agreement ends. Which would be a credible clause if it was say a business that primarily...

    They were stalling under JT, shopping around looking for deals… Ivan came and literally said they needed to make a decision and “get on the bus” Woods later said that they were due to sign except the board members essentially tried to lay the sacking of Taylor onto those four players and...

    OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

    I’m finding the banter between keeping notes and not hilarious. I think we all keep notes, some just organise them and some don’t. If someone emails you saying they agree to a price, time line etc; if you don’t delete it, it’s a note. Some are more anal than others about making it easier to...

    OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

    Didn’t teddy change when his mentor Joe Wehbe and Moses had a falling out? Moses and Wehbe were in the same company and the fall out was big apparently. I think DCE is Wehbe. One of the shows talked about it when DCE announced leaving manly.

    Or simply he has a contract in place and Moses is his manager (or at least gets paid as his manager) until that deal finishes. If he wants to drop him as a manager there isn’t any point until it’s time to negotiate the contract anyway. Otherwise he has to pay his new manager to manage him as...

    Straight off for a HIA, if three HIA are needed in a game then it’s classed as a failed HIA. Comes off and sits next week out.

    This is funny because if you believe the rumour, we got rid of Hastings because he didn’t get along with Bateman.

    He filled in at halfback… that’s enough for some hack tabloid writer. AD is fine for a squad member that we are paying min wage for. I wouldn’t be looking to move him on but I also wouldn’t stop him going to a team if he thinks he makes the team each week. Thanks for your contribution and move...
