Isaiah Papali’i #265

It’s unfortunate, but the way I see it, this contract has apparently been in place a year, WT has not made a payment and Papali’i has not trained or played for WT in all that time.
And??......... whats your point. Thats the same for any player that signs for any team a year in advance. And if its just a case of my sarcasm detector being broke - you could say how good is it that we have had a contract with IP for the last 12 months and parra have paid for everything.
 
People getting all worked up when the most logical explanation is that his current employer Parramatta have told him not to talk about it.
That’s what I took out of that last interview, the reporter was baiting him for a reply and now he is just having fun with them. He hasn’t said anything different the whole time apart from not wanting to get involved in the discussion and doing what every player does and deflecting to the old manager line… please ppl. Settle down. There is no news. He is coming. Relax.

for some reason rare good news are pushed under carpet (e.g. Benji conformation) but every smallest bit of potentially bad runes/dream/coffee mug reading is pushed to the n-th degree and recycled endlessly!

It was "nice" comment

That's like asking the hottest girl at school out and she replies with that's nice.
 
What exactly has Papali'i said that sounds like an excuse or has caused you not to trust or believe him?
He is not being open about going to Wests tigers. Yet he signed a contract but unwilling to confirm that he is going to Wests tigers. why is it so hard for him to confirm that.

I personally don't think he is asking for a release to get more money, he simply just doesn't wanna play for a shit team. Can't blame a man for that.

However, as a club I'd be ok with granting him a release on our terms. Either we get compensation in terms of massive $$$ or we wait until we get a better player/s swap. I think all parties i.e. him, his manager, the new club etc would find that reasonable.

In the media though, I fully expect Lee and Pascoe to kick up a massive stink about it all. Make a press release that he has asked for a release, then hold another presser saying Moses, Matterson, Aloiai, Cleary etc did the same thing. Everyone hates hs, we are always dudded etc.
