Jesse Parahi omitted from State Cup Side

[Sabre]

What a waste of time that was then…

 

[balmain boy]

Well he saw the writing on the wall, his body wasn't managing well, he was going to be a bench forward in the nsw cup or he could go to the Olympics. Tough choice.

If he was in first grade he'd be staying, but its a lot to sacrifice just to play 30 mins of nsw cup every few weeks

 

[GoldXR50Leroy]

A rather big story in the Paper for someone who has achieved very little and put the white flag up extremely early in his Rugby League career, so much for someone up for a Challenge!.

 

[Bob]

Hope he signed an agreement that if he comes back tigers get first choice - I don't think he will neccesarily be a star however he asked the Tigers for a chance, got one. Then asked for a release, got one… I think he should give something back. Be annoyed for tigers to teach him first (well almost first) grade skills and then takes that to another team.

There has to be some value given to our training and expertise or else there is no wonder everyone treats it as nothing.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Jesus if he couldn't get a run in firsts with us, what hope does he have elsewhere, sans Newcastle maybe?

Well, Sevens for one.

I'm an airline pilot, if I go to a new airline and they have to endorse me on a new aircraft type, once trained I am employable elsewhere. To discourage me getting trained up and moving elsewhere I am bonded for 30 grand or 3 years the choice is mine.

He obviously received training while he was here, it comes at not only a cost of training but also takes up a limited amount of cap space. If he chooses to leave, regardless if He is leaving for the Broncos, sevens or opening a hair salon he should have to pay back his debt.

This will also set a precedent so the next person that wants to leave for whatever reason, will have to fill the same requirements.

Miss your family??? of course you can leave to play for the Broncos. Just leave the cheque with reception, good luck. If you want to ever come back our door is open.

 

[happy_tiger]

Cross codes forwards rarely work

We need to stop expecting these one in a hundred pot shots to work

Almost as if he was trying to push his own agenda by switching and then switching back

Thank you for wasting our coaching staff's time Jesse , they could have been focussing on RUGBY LEAGUE players who were actually interested in making a career as a rugby league player

 

[Abraham]

I can't remember the last time a full fledged rah rah forward made the switch to league and was successful.

Maybe Rex Mossop?

In any case, it was never gonna work, and maybe with the cash he has freed up we can buy an actual rugby league player (kinda out there, I know).

Ray Price would be the one

I'm referring to NRL Bob, I know he's quite an able Rugby player. We're bottom of the barrel and he couldn't find first grade here, I doubt he'll ever use his "expertise" gained with us, against us.

So you're saying he should pay back his salary if he decides to leave? Lol

Or that everyone in the country should be forced to repay their employers time for training them if they leave later the organisation? Lol

Personally I'm astounded someone would forego the chance to play in Cessnock and Wyong so they could play in places like Las Vegas, Hong Kong and Rio. It's a mystery…

No not at all, what I am saying is their needs to be a motivation to stay at the club. I think a financial bond is one way of doing this.

Everyone complains that we invest so much money in jouniors and when they get good they leave for more money to richer clubs. I'm saying that if we bond players from an early age to the club that would be a consideration the player needs take when leaving the Tigers.

Obviously if the player doesn't make certain criteria he is cut and no bond is payable.

However if the Tigers want him he is obligated to stay or pay his way out. You would think of this policy was used, eventually say the storm would say. We have factored in your 40k bond to the Tigers and we are willing to pay that out. So in turn everybody gets what they want. Storm gets the player they wanted. The player would get a better contract / more opportunity / whatever he left the Tigers for. In return the Tigers get reimbursed SOME of the cost that is required to nurture a junior wannabe footballer into a serious NRL contender.

Either all clubs do it or none do. Otherwise no-one would come near us knowing they had a bounty to pay if they ever decided to leave..!

Salary cap deductions for local juniors makes far more sense, rewarding clubs for their investment by giving them greater financial freedom to manage their cap.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I disagree BB, clubs like Bulldogs, Brisbane, Melbourne and Manly could probably get away with this. Clubs with sustained success where they know they're sure thing to see success in some measure.

Clubs like Wests, Parra, Newcastle, Penriff and Gold Coast would all struggle.

Yep, we pretty much paid him to train with us.

Which is the problem. The developing clubs are the ones you listed at the bottom, with Canberra added in place of the GCT. They are the ones who need the allowances.

The rich clubs are the ones with sustained success and are the ones who need to pay in order to sign other clubs juniors.

The Dogs are the exception as they're basically the only club that develop their own juniors and have had sustained success

Simon Mannering, Tohu Harris, Kevin Proctor, Tepai Moera to name a few current players.

Second tier contract, worth a crack. Still need to fill lower grade sides.

The question from the get go for me was why he would want to come to us?? A dead cert for the Olympics (along with the world tour) vs long shot to play with us for less money than he was on….

Must have really wanted to know if he could make it in league.

I sevens forward will eventually cross and kill it. The skill set they have is very suited to league.
