Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

After last night's game I decided to take matters into my own hands and solve the Seyfarth problem.
I have lodged a formal complaint with Campelltown police and after reviewing the video evidence I submitted they have agreed to lay the following charge:

Obtain financial advantage by deception - Impersonating an NRL player.

It's an indictable offence so the NRL's stand down policy is in effect.

Who is going to be the back up hooker next season ? Tristan Hope?

We let players walk away early from contracts that are beneficial for the club because they don’t like what was said to them during the negotiations for the following season?

It will likely end well for TDS… getting paid a lot more money elsewhere for next season

And I believe this could be a motivation. Madonna sang "the man with the cold hard cash is always Mr Right" and I believe she could be on the money. WTs has a budget and a club needing a first-grade hooker may be prepared to pay more. At this stage, Da Silva has failed to hold down the first grade hooking role at our club.

That’s not my argument though … I’m talking about 2026 when he has a contract already with WT which is cheap for a position of need ( back up hooker ) … why release him from that ?

What is the plan for next season of Api is injured ? Hope? More like No Hope

We don't know what discussions have taken place but what we do know is his manager has given the club it's him or me spiel. His doing his best for Da Silva but at the same time has backed the club into a corner to make a decision now. He brought up the 5 clubs being interested if he is on the market and it seems to me the club is being very fair to the player and his manager. The manager has many clients at our club and we appear to have a good relationship with him. I am optimistic a good deal will be agreed upon.

We are a good club … always looking out for ways to help good players get out of their contracts and leave the club early
 
Obviously the club probably thinks young Heywood is the better player in the long run that tallyn- $600k for tds I wouldn’t pay that. Perth Bears start a rumour.

Tom you Shine in your comments about TDS! What if Api gets injured and we lose him for the remainder of 2025? Does the club seriously want SPOON number four in a row?

The club has a comprehensive view of the situation, whereas most of us have little or a partial view. One or all of the 5 clubs interested may be willing to pay substantially more for Da Silva than our club. Cash counts.

This situation wouldn’t arise if the club was competent at retention negotiations.
Api is working harder than he ever has. He is attempting around 60 tackles per game, plus has to be creative in attack and be a leader on the field.That’s not good management. There is a high risk his body doesn’t make it through to the end of his current contract.
Tallyn has clearly said before that he isn’t ready to take over yet but is confident he will be ready by the commencement of his next contract.
