Aloiai

[TigerWest]

I wonder if once Aloiai gets released, if Matterson will have learned his lesson after Fittler told him to keep his mouth shut when he ran the club down over Thompson. You don’t wish injury on players, but Jesus Christ it was satisfying watching Packer put him on the ground, then get stuck in afterwards. Any Tigers fan who says otherwise is a liar.

Hopefully Russell has one good one left in him?😂

I have come to the conclusion that most of my forum members are quite disgruntled at the events unfolding re JA...He has shown his true colours and they arent OURS,I personally liked JA as a person and player,no world beater but going well under Madges guidance..
I would like to say and just in my opinion,while money and the greed for it remains high in the NRL,then a lot of this crap will continue..JA has made his decision in a very haphazard way without thinking about his friends,club or the concequences...
He has to live with his statements on social media and what comes from them,however in my most honest opinion this situation and maybe many others to come has to be dealt with by the NRL,they run the game and must fix this ever occouring problem..

“As part of the release, Wests Tigers have also agreed to an undisclosed commercial settlement with Josh’s new club.“

They got something from manly, no idea what.

So they officially received something from Manly.

Why is it weak? Seems they were compensated.

It’s all about perception. As a club we look weak as we have rolled over once again, but in actual fact we probably have put together a very good deal in our advantage. The trouble we the punters only see that another player has been able to break his contract once again. Of course the funny thing is, we are good at granting releases but terrible at getting releases.

Anyway I am sure the club has brokered a deal, but they have to come out and let the world know that the release came at a big cost for either Manly or the player in question. Of course they don’t have to go into all the details, but like when Cleary was released we were given a rough idea what the settlement was.

This is where the club should come out and tell the world what we got in return for releasing JO.....

Sounds like it which is good. They were never going to get a player swap that was unrealistic I though but at least some money or something. Still think we could’ve made a statement but oh well can understand their reasons and they got something at least.

Could have been $10 as far as we know. If someone like Blore has a breakout season and is considered undervalued, he’ll know he can get out of the contract if he kicks up a fuss.

Lee should have held firm. I agree with managements decisions over this offeason but this is a mistake IMO.

I would like a statement directed at the NRL and the rules around this but it is unlikely

Could be $200k, you don't know.

PVL doesn’t seem to like players breaking contracts early for more money. Problem is the RLPA will never agree to it.

I highly doubt it, Manly as a club barely have two dollars to rub together, and they’re paying him way overs already. I would have made him stay and play.

In saying that, happy with the Joe O signing.

Need to attach it to the salary cap negotiations, if we remove players breaking contracts and signing 12 months in advance the salary cap could be set higher than if the current system remains.

I wouldn't he has disrespected the club, he may not want to wear our jersey again and that doesn't bother me because after his carry on I don't want to see him in it again either.

Arrivederci Josh don’t let the door hit you on the way out. See you in Rnd 7.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Aloiai has behaved like an absolute imbecile. He was one of my favourite current WT players. I just don’t agree with releasing him. I can see your point of view though, I just don’t agree with it.

We weren't going to get anything by keeping him.

Regardless, happy we have Joe O on board. We’re a second rower away from a pretty good pack.
