Not having a crack at you but hopefully that will equate to not coming last. Happy to do it if it means we're moving up some places.

Gonna kill it at Redfern under wayno. He deserves
his shot 4 sure bro. He is our contingency plan if
anything goes wrong with either 1 of Latu or Lachie.
Richo baited them by saying 'we're open to releasing'
him for 2026/7 when in reality he is still contracted
to us & we get 2 make that call after this year. Either
compensation or player swap. way to shift cash off
the books 4 this year hey, Richo is very savvy bro.
Jayden deserves a shot too. Has had a great attitude

the option is in the players favour …. Bud gets to decide if he returns … also gets the option to go elsewhere for more money in 26 and 27 if he kills it…
If no one else wants him then he has the safety blanket of coming back here at apparently $700k per year …
Who is his agent ? What a deal …

And he has many throughout the game, one of the reasons I can see him lasting in this coaching caper.

Hoping for a bit higher but as we all know years of disappointment might mean otherwise.
Really interested to see if the recruitment of Luai et al does change the culture.

I understand the club has an option to call him back —
he's only been released for 2025 & still contracted
to the Wests Tigers for years 2026/27. And its not
700k — that same rag of a paper that published
it had him on $550k for over a year until recently lol.

Media just making up numbers or forgetting Bud's $2.2M is over 4 years (not 3 years) so is $550k per year.
From DT on Aug 5, 2023: The Wests Tigers have signed Jayden Sullivan from St George Illawarra on a four-year, $2.2 million deal, pending a medical clearance on Tuesday.
Released two weeks ago by incoming Dragons coach Shane Flanagan, Sullivan settled on the Tigers after talks with coach Benji Marshall and recruitment boss Scott Fulton on Saturday.

Great deal for Bud and suits us as well by freeing up a top 30 spot and a bit of cash too. Also allows a fall back option down the track if he comes back with more experience and game time under Bennett. Under current circumstances Richo has done very well.

Be interesting what we are chipping in for Bud in '25! IMO it's probably $300k with rabbits $250k which is $250k that can go to a Galvin upgrade.

That is provided we paid him 550k this year. Always a smoking gun at the Tigers.

What take his kids to overpriced designer clothes shops?
Ok, we were stupid enough to pay him that much silly money.
