Why does Luai care about how his agent commission is split ? Isn’t it also 6 percent on $900k .,. So about 55k ?Does Isaac get out of bed for that?

I'm not too sure most people understand how agents work, what they actually do and how they make a dollar. I know a Broncos player who earns more than twice his contract per season, almost three times. His earnings include everything from TPD's, appearances, golf days etc. He works year round. The Big Marn has the same manager and told me he thought he was going to go broke post Footy Show until he signed with Chimes. He hasn't looked back and is making more than ever. They don't just sign contracts and see them in 3 years time.
 
Gould shouldn't be permitted anywhere near a commentary box at a Wests Tigers game!

He's trying the Galvin playbook on Bula, "seducing" him with over the top praise designed to appeal to his ego.
What young player who has grown up watching footy on channel 9 wouldn't find the lure of playing for Gould somewhat appealing?

The NRL should take a good hard look at Gould, his influence on potential signings is unfair to other teams. If he wants to be a club boss then he shouldn't be allowed to call footy games on TV or Radio.

OMG..

Imagine Flanno coming where we trade Luai for Kyle F...

I actually at one stage thought that Flanno should have been an assistant here under Madge. You have an experienced coach who could raise the squad and develop a pipeline with Cronulla. Heck during Madge's time Kyle F would have been a halfback upgrade... Nightmare hey.

The dragons have totally given up. loosing 62-16, clearly the Foran effect of picking a old Club player wont' be enough.

Dragons have been bottom 4 of comp for ages and Dean Young won't be lifting them.

They just don't have a good enough roster to trouble most teams in the comp atm.

Well … Isaac didn’t even sign this one …like I said … the commission thing…that’s a problem for Isaac and the old manager to work out I would have thought… if Bula signs a new third party deal …I’m sure that’s all Isaac and he will get his cut … if it was the other bloke who organised it .. he will, get it …right ?

If Bula takes the tax free dollars we can survive, but if the May boys, Luai and a Fainu or two follow we are in big trouble. Very hard to compete in a marketplace where 18 franchises have a lot less buying power than franchise no19.

The NRL has never been a level playing field but the lure of tax free dollars is going to really hurt some clubs like ours.

They are in for such a world of hurt, but it's not that they "don't have a good enough roster".

It's that they overpaid for some people:
Cook
Luciano Leilua (900k per season).
Val Holmes

Gutho had kinda earned his money, but seems to have slipped now.


They have paid a lot of money for some average/good signings, complete overs.
Now those chickens are coming home to roost.

Yes it sounds very familiar, don't it?
 
Deadline for Bula's option is May 15....

Whenever Bula is discussed on NRL360, Braith puts it to Read whats the latest and Read puts on a smug smile and responds in a negative manner. When pressed, Read says (with that smug face) he can't understand why the Dogs signed Tracey for 2 more years. We all know Read and Issac Moses are "mates"....so it will be interesting to see what happens...I hope its obvious to Bula as it is to us fans that the Dogs are a trash who treat their players like pocker chips. Cirro is a myth too...

Has anyone reinforced to Bula, being a man of faith, that greed is one of the seven deadly sins?!

Daily Telegraph: Wests Tigers woes have gone from bad to worse with star fullback Jahream Bula ruled out for 3-4 weeks due to a shoulder injury.

Due back same time as Api after the bye.
