Isaiah Papali’i #265

[twentyforty]

Probably. But I don’t care we need to take the hit once to stop these pea hearts. It should have been done when that FDH Moses tanked. Should have sat his ass In reserve grade for the rest of the year and put it in the media that he is there becoz he’s a tanking prick. Ruin his rep.
Maybe we would not have this happening if we showed so balls long ago.

Do you remember how we pushed back against his manager which imo had a big impact on our downhill slide. Sure we have a litigation lawyer, but he’s also smart enough to know when to go hard or walk away.

Yawn

Stupid question but does the money come off our cap if Papalii sits out the 3 years. We end up getting screwed both ways if it does.

I assume yes. He’s contracted to us. Otherwise clubs would just stand players down they don’t want.

I think if IP sits out 3 years then it would come off our cap

So we lose a gun player and space off our cap to top it off. What a farce.

if he doesn't want to be here he w9nt play well anyway.
Secondly nobody wants to come here so we can't buy anyone with our 650k for IP anyway.
Even if we make him sit out 2 years it proves a point we need to stand our ground on this

 

[teddy23]

The more legs we give it the more it’ll run

He’ll be at the tigers next year whether he likes it or not

Who's to say he wont grow to like it?

 

[tigerman 0]

I don’t think he will be here next year.

Also, i am more chance to play than IP is to sit out for 3 years. He will probably go to NZ

 

[TillLindemann]

Once he finds out you can just bludge and plod here and still get paid he may well come to be grateful for the opportunity.

Is it possible that this could extend his career for a couple of seasons? I’m just looking for positive slants to the situation.

I think he will go to NZ on compassionate grounds we will release him and get a player or 2 in exchange

Can’t get any lower on the table. Need to hold our ground.

 

[Sabre]

Well, with a 17th team coming in next year we could get lower on the table...

Touche 😜

Yep, the NRL has assured the Tigers this is the case

 

[BurtontoTigers]

You guys have to stand strong on this, sit him out for 3 years if he doesn’t wanna play but it’s highly unlikely he would do that to himself in his career. He’s being a cockhead about it and is playing stupid games to ya’ll.

Sure you gotta know when to hold ‘em and when to fold em, but if you take it up the ass all the time your nickname becomes Ben Dover for the rest of your life.

Sorry if that was not PC.

But furthermore, the nrl rule the contracts and it is them who should say to these fn pea hearts stop making a mockery of nrl contracts, but their just other greedy humans who are against us, so I expect us to get shafted over this too.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Im sick of this idiot but i'd be more than comfortable for the club to sit him out, its not like we havent wasted cap space in the past. We've signed Peachy for christs sake, the way he's carrying on we need to stand solid we wont of course but we need to. The only compromise that should be made is a JAC situation compromise, we find a comparable player on comparable wages and we'll release you but in the mean time you play.
This could be for a season like JAC did at Melb or two cant roll over for this flog, however we shouldnt embarrass ourselves like we did with Aloiai and say you can mow lawns just say you have a contract see you after the world cup end of story.
