I have no interest in seeing this guy put on a Tigers jersey ever again. I'll add your figures are laughable - he was always after every last cent and trying to make out that he was hard done by is a joke.

Speak for yourself. I don't wish him luck at all. I'll always consider him a traitor and I can't wait to boo him next time I see him run around. I just hope its not in a Tigers jersey.

I think the club management has done extremely well to handle this transaction. Imagine if Mayer fell for the high payout demands, it would have set a precedent and re-signing others like Gavet, Simona, Thompson & Ava would have been difficult. Now that the club has made clear that they are looking for player that show commitment (remember the club did offer Teddy a 4 year deal that almost matched the sum the raiders offered for 3 years, and I think the club was thinking that teddy owed us a year for sticking by him…well we know what happened), there maybe a ray of hope for future negotiations.
I also think Mayer's negotiation skills has forced Canberra to pay overs for teddy (And believe me they have, as it's the brooks-teddy combo that's going to be missing big time). Stuart is trying to build a spin for 2015, and buying player (aka like assembling the origin squad) will mean that it's going to take to build the team....the combo that Easts built last year was a fluke (once in a decade event) and sticky won't be able to replicate that in Canberra.
To sum up, this deal that teddy did was all about the money (and the quote from Ayoub yesterday to say it's not just confirms it). Also I like the comment from Mayer about our retention policy (all the player he quoted agreed to a 4 year extension, ironically the same as what was offered teddy).

This is made up dross and Happy should hang his head in shame. Tedesco is at blame here and not the club.

No you were making up lies to try and make out the club is to blame because Tedesco is gutter scum.
Place the blame where it should be placed - on a low class individual.

I believe the offer by Canberra was closer to 300K more than what we offered, the latest SMH article mentions this. Also the offer by the raiders is apparently 3.2 mil now (lol). You can read it here:

if you can believe the article Sticky and the Raiders are paying $1.1 per year for Tede$co…had we matched that he'd be the highest paid player in our club!.

All is not doomed folks...Tede$co has until round 13 to pull out of the deal...

I would have been ok if he was straight up and honest but he has been making the fans look like fools these past few weeks.
Hope he plays park footy for the rest of the year.

alexaki's right, we just need moltz to get into teddy's ear.
@happy tiger said:
No idea what your on about. I just want to get some value out of him before he leaves. We need to pick our best side while in contention. If we are not, focus on the future, which he does not want to be a part of. Simple
Hows your mate Braith going? You laughed at me six weeks ago when I suggested he should not be in the side. Haven't seen you hunting me down lately about it.

James signed a contract saying he would play for Wests Tigers until the end of 2014\. He has never gone back on his word, and so should be allowed to finish the job he signed up for. I'm sure he wants to do his team mates proud and leave on a good note.
I think it's very important that young James play every match for the remainder of 2014, especially around September. We'll bring extra strapping tape for that ankle. What you heard a pop? Yeah we're going to need another needle here. Concussion rule? Nah he's fine sir. You just keep returning those kicks son. Have another shot.
He can have his next surgery on the Raiders time.

he has basically been on the dole at WT since his debut anyway, getting money for nothing while the others are busting their arse. play him for the rest of the season, run him into the ground and at least get some skerrick of value out of him. then again i dont think his teammates would be too keen on putting their trust in him anymore to have a dig for WT. I couldn't see the ANZACS in Gallipoli being too keen on fighting alongside a turncoat who basically tells them 'stuff this, i'm going to fight for the Turks now fellas'. if Tedesco is dumb enough to think that Ricky will still be coaching the Raiders after next season he is kidding himself, Ricky will taks the cowards way out and leave Canberra after a few more hidings…just like he did at Cronulla and Parra. When the going gets tough, Ricky gets the hell outta Dodge, every single time. Have fun down there in paradise Jimmy Tede$$$co. you and Sticky will be a good fit for each other. There goes our 2014 season as well unfortunately.
He can cut the grass at concord, no state cup, no football for anyone. We have to be serious with this stuff. He has decided to leave so all this BS about this yr and not letting his mates down etc is crap. Why develop him further in anyway way or expose him to

I think he never had the intention of staying, the reason he took so long to make a decision is cause he was waiting on Milford to make his and hit Canberra for a big contract!!
Good management on Ayoub behalf but I still think was the wrong decision!!

If I signed on for a new job next year, I'd be put on gardening leave. It happens in the real world so can't see why it can't happen here
No problem with him taken the taken the cash but there has to be ramifications
