Wests Tigers marching headlong into a fight with NRL - The Australian

A series of messages from Pascoe to the club’s general manager of football and Farah’s agent Sam Ayoub formed part of the evidence against the club. In the text messages, it is understood Pascoe suggested the termination agreement and ambassadorial deal were linked.
At one point in September 2016, it is understood he asked Ayoub not to announce the ambassador deal.

Maybe the reason they didn't want the deal released as Jason Taylor had no idea about it , doesn't necessarily have to be a loaded gun
Seems strange we had 28 days to respond , this surfaced on the 7th of December (Pearl Harbour bombing anniversary …....oh the irony :astonished: ) from memory

All good mate. Just put it up as Lauren asked for a link.
@ said:
Okay thanks for sharing. It was honestly first time I’d heard it.
I don't know if it's my phone but I can't access it. Hmm some interesting choice of words used in the article, such as considered and suggested instead of confirmed. Seeing it’s such a big accusation to make and would be key to the investigation.
Wasn't the actual role announced in 2015? Does anyone have knowledge of its announcement?
Thanks for sharing and my response means nothing against you gallagher, just the journos.
@ said:
Suggesting to Ayoub that the termination agreement and the ambassadorial role were linked is very different to "the text from Pascoe to Ayoub instructing him not to send or reveal the contact to the NRL." Conspiring with a player manager to deliberately conceal salary related information from the NRL would be very bad but nothing I've seen suggests that has happened, including the Brent Read article.

Again maybe they wanted to keep it quiet from Taylor for a short time until the waters had settled …..

Hack NRL journo's are very rarely correct as we have seen countless times over the years.
Brent Read's "guess" would just be another story originating from a day standing at the bar listening to gossip. Buzz probably told him this one during one of his monumental sessions on $2-a-bottle gut-rot.
Take it with a huge grain of salt IMO.

The only article where Pascoe mentions the role is from 2015, and it speaks of him being considered for an ambassador role. The NRL has stated that the role was offered in 2016 when he was leaving the club.

I'll cop that Nelson. Originally I was commenting from memory from what I read. After Lauren's interest, I was happy to find the articles written and share it.
It wasn't my intention to deceive.

A few on here reckon Read is a good friend of Go. True or not, there seems to be a growing number of journos that have or in for Pascoe.
Seems strange.

I don,t think they have it in for him. I just think they realise the NRL is their meal ticket so it would be unwise to write a story bagging them and pointing out the holes in their argument and the complete bias they show towards certain clubs.
@ said:
If not true I would imagine there will be legal action taken once this has been cleared up one way or the other with the NRL .Brent Read should hope that his comments written are correct ! All will be know shortly…I would find it hard to believe that someone in Pascoes position would send such text messages to someone of Ayoubs character with his past dealings with the club.
@ said:
There's not much to read atm. I'm hopeful of a great outcome. Have a lot of faith in our sponsors ability, and truly hope we can see our way out the other side of this side show with minimal impact. IMO, some on here might be kind of secretly hoping for us to be nailed to the post to justify some of the posting. its not just us against the NRL on this occasion, there's a whole lot of other clubs, fans and media on our side as well I reckon.

My guess, Pascoe will get his job back and the fines and cap penalty will stay. That way the NRL don’t lose face and we get something out of it. To me it would not be ideal, but it would be good to put it to bed as it must be a distraction and we need positive things now with season not far away
Its all about saving face not justice.
Greenburg needed a win and went for the tigers.
This needs to go to court and not the nrl who handed down the original penalty
