Is this new news?….he signed with them 2 weeks ago

 

[LukeyTuiaki]

No LT, they're paying final yr 2025 which was 750k p/a

Yeah I know, I was… ahh it doesn’t matter

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

How long is he out for?

Was he ever in…..?

 

[Kaito]

Yeah I know, I was… ahh it doesn’t matter

Must have misread, my bad, we don't need him anyway

But but we were supposed to chipping in 🤔

 

[innsaneink]

Five-eighth Jayden Sullivan, who is set to earn around $600,000 in the final seasons of his four-year deal, centre Brent Naden and veteran back-rower John Bateman are among those the club is willing to offload in a bid to rejuvenate Marshall’s roster.


This would be a great help

The point is, for once we aren't chipping in anything for a player to play elsewhere... Panthers are paying full freight, meaning we have his full amount to use in our cap for 25

Still a joke it’s framed a dangerous tackle yet we lose a player for 8-10 weeks and he gets a $1800 fine. Again imagine if papali did the same tackle to Cleary what would the result be???

I'm sure Annusley and the NRL will review Holmes' special pre-Origin wrist-slap now that Papali'i requires an operation and is out for 10 weeks 🙄 Yeah, nah! More likely Holmes will get the Billy Slater Player of the Series Award in Origin while Klemmer gets suspended again for tripping over the dog ending his season due to the loading.

Ice would have to tackle someone first for that to occur.

We should be entitled to salary cap relief as it was deemed foul play that caused the injury.

There was some suggestion we were going to be paying some freight for him to play there. I guess the news is that post suggests not.

Was it though?
Holmes escaping suspension would indictae his binning was an over reaction

 

[Tucker]

Will he take his time with recovery? (I think so)

Penrith will be in his ear as well.

 

[Telltails]

Brooks seemed to be injured regularly after he committed to Manly last year. I expect IP wont feature too much given we are no hope of playing finals.

Except:

"Cowboys centre Valentine Holmes was the other player charged in Round 12 and has accepted an $1800 fine after entering an early guilty plea to a Dangerous Contact charge.

Holmes was put on report and sin binned for a hip drop tackle on Wests Tigers second-rower Isaiah Papali'i in the 37th minute of Friday night's match."

 

[Tim Sheens]

Was he ever in…..?

On occasions, just nowhere near often enough.

At a supposed $750k for next season and based on his form over the last season and a half, I am happy enough for him to be playing in whatever position and level elsewhere next year.

He was fined, however, which indicates it was deemed foul play.

 

[Tucker]

yeah I suppose its worth a try

 

[Vicious]

To put it simply, why would we let Papali’i go a year before his contract expires without a suitable replacement lined up ?
How does this improve our team ?
