Moltzen Staying Or Going

I dug this out from previous posts in July this year, so has he signed a formal contract or merely had verbal assurances ? which is why I wonder if there is something going on now not to release him from the final year of his contract?

TIM MOLTZEN is likely to secure a controversial release from Wests Tigers today, four days after his signing was trumpeted by St George Illawarra - a move sparking a war of words between the 22-year-old's current club and his future one.

**Moltzen's manager, Martin Tauber, will meet with Tigers chief executive Stephen Humphreys today over the utility back's future. He has already secured a verbal agreement from Humphreys that Moltzen will be released from the final year of his Tigers contract, enabling him to officially join the Dragons and potentially be a replacement for Darius Boyd at fullback.**
Tauber spoke with Dragons chief executive Peter Doust and next year's coach Steve Price yesterday and assured them the Tigers would not stop the move. ''They're not going to stand in his way,'' Tauber said.

''There's no issue. The club [Wests Tigers] has been very good about it, and I'm meeting with the chief executive [today]. All being well, all the issues will be resolved and we'll move on with Tim. They gave us a verbal agreement.''

Oh God, this IS going to get ugly. :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:
 
and yes, verbal agreements are just as binding as written ones IF (and it can be a big if) what was said can actually be proved.
real messy, real quickly
 
:laughing: Humphries looks like he is prepared to take on the good old boys club of secret handshakes :laughing:

love his work… He sounds more and more like Ribot everyday... FIRE UP HUMPTY!!!
 
I'd like to know what contract the NRL has registered for Moltzen in 2012? Because he can only have one, and by the sounds of it, Tigers never released him.

So if the NRL registered a Dragons contract, they are going to be looking a bit retarded over the coming weeks.
 
Never a dull day being a Tigers supporter, love it! If we haven't released him from his current contract, than surely that means we he's ours still? Anyways interesting few days ahead.

For 400K and then his wages ontop of it, its a big ask. Does that 400K for his release come under the salary cap? Is it worth sacrificing a young up and comer for him?
 
Sounds ugly, hope we find a way to keep him. Not sure where I would play him- fullback or halfback if Lui does go. I think I would prefer fullback and give Miller a go at halfback

If we verbally told him to look elsewhere, and Dragons signed him because of that, I think we will be in the wrong.

I don't like this at all, we definitely told him to look elsewhere. He got his deal and we never said it wasn't valid. Now because Tim and the club wants him to stay, we invoke this shit?

Thats wrong.
 
Lol pre-season is entertaining so far!! This is all building up quite the rivalry with Illasox :slight_smile:

Hope Moltzen ends up playing for whoever he wants to play for and doesnt get left in a contractual void

Glad you find it funny.
I find it highly unprofessional
Do we know what we are doing?
Doesnt sound like it to me.
Humpty is an amateur
 
But if the player you bought was so determined to get out of his contract, would you still want him at your club?

I know I wouldn't.

we might not have to pay the $400k if we never released him and if lui goes then we might just give his money to moltzen
 
I was not upset to hear he was going to the dragons and to be honest i dont want him back at the club i dont agree with players agreeing to play with a club then doing a judas.His form at the back end of the season was good but for the majority of the season it was terrible.Brown should be more than capable of filling the fullback position.
