I was about to ask you KADE if you had any news, thanks mate, bloody gus and the bulldog's, it's like ciraldo moment all over again

Exactly the reason the Chairman's position is untenable...

This dud contract is the legacy of Lee's nepotistic over-reach into football department decisions - and in the age of salary cap limitations the result is a massive ongoing $500K per year Albatross hanging over the squad and coach!

Maybe Brydens should put their hand up as a 3rd party to payout Nofo's contract and let him go!

Why oh why is our club contract dealings played out so much in the media???. It seems Benji's wishes to keep all inhouse until we have signed a player is not being heeded by some insiders of the cub. Sick and tired of reading "according to sources speaking on the condition of anonymity" ...why are they speaking!!!

Player management using Benji as a lure for the big clubs.

If Gus wants Luai, he will get him..watch.

AJ training fulltime as an edge backrower is a valuable squad member IMO. Either playing State Cup as a back up or off the bench covering injuries, he has handy attributes and definitely showed promise as a forward early in the year. Too dumb for the backs.

He cannot tackle at all when in the backs,, flaps his arms at them and then stands still and watches the player that beat him run away.. it’s embarrassing

small update

- we never formally offered best a contract, marshall and club had cold feet after initial meeting, still interested, but was / always going to sign with knights

- tumeth free to leave if he can find a new club, has been told he will spend year in cup

- the media are blowing up the story deluxe with jerome, the contract without third party payments sits at 850k per year, another appeal of having benji on board with third party deals 1.2 a season
the dogs are absolutely going to try and blow us out of the water and are happy to move JAC on

- club wants melbourne to tip in around 40% of olams contract

Sounds good 👌,,, any truth to the nonsense about us having to swap Galvin, or even Blore to get it done? If so, why would we do that? 🤪

Off course Gus will sign luai, thanks to laundy,

So you’re telling us it’s not all about the football department?! What a novel idea. Maybe we could find some powerful men to improve our club.

Player managers are doing it. You publicise the Tigers interest to try and engage other clubs to compete.

 

[Garrry]

Any info on blora, will he be traded

Do you know if he wants to stay cause it seems that’s his manager wants him to leave

 

[Tom Shines]

And what if he doesn’t want to be paid out?

Well… that’s too bad …

But who is not going to want to take a years pay upfront from a job they are going to be fired from anyway?

Nofa could do a year or two in EPL at least.
or Japanese Rugby. I doubt he has it planned, but it would be a sound income. Don't know if taking a year's pay means he can't play for that year.

I hear Ange Postecoglu is a big fan of Nofa

You reckon we have 5 players on a million a season ? Please elaborate .. I highly doubt that, and calling the Fainu bros reserve grade kids, ? Latu is already a test player so he must have something going for him and Samuela has already debuted. I’d give them a freaking chance before writing them off , but that’s just me I suppose.. i like to welcome players to the club and at least have them play a few games before bagging them..

No. 5 players on 700-850. I don't think the Fainus are reserve grade talents. I think they have very bright futures. I do however think they will spend the majority of the next season or 2 in reserve grade as they are still kids developing their game. Unfortunately we are in a position where we need to overpay that young talent to attract them to the club.

Dogs don't appreciate Fox?

After we land Luai, maybe we should try for Fox.
