Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

That is why he would only receive $900K in 2027 under the mutual option!

He is not currently on $900K FFS!!

Stupid to try to predict what his market value will be in 2027 - in an expanded comp with increased salary cap after he has played two more full seasons of NRL!

Yes .....I realise he isn't on 900 k.....

I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Is any clause in a contract ridiculous? This seems like the kind of circumstance where if it got Luai over the line it is warrented.

I understand the Benji issue. Its pretty clear he was struggling last year. He will be accountable this year. I would argue that a coaching search for a mythical experienced coach would have been extremely destabilising, making it difficult to sign players and sort sponsorship, compared to the current really positive off. But thats my opinion, yours is different.

I don't think any of the points you have made make Richo "as bad as Pascoe" not even close. Based on a very narrow range of outcomes you are giving him a fail mark, we can agree to disagree.

Dude, I’m just hot and annoyed. I’ll learn to live with it. I’ve come this far with this club. What’s one more let down.

These clauses have a habit of being activated in the NRL. At the very least it holds the club over a barrell.

I'm generally not a fan unless it's something in the clubs control, for example I'm not against a coach clause. If it is simply an option to go to market every year after 2 years, then it's not a great clause for us.

Once again, I want to know the exact details before passing judgement.

They are far from ideal. IMO It's a sliding scale though. On one end is a guy like Luai who has earnt the right to negotiate what he wants. The club probably had to agree to it to get him. I am at peace with that.

At the other end is the ridiculous Stef clause, or the one Onitoni Large (a 17 year old) requested. They are the ones the club won't be entertaining
 
Did Luai have clauses in Penrith contract? Give me the exact details please. Then I will judge. After 6 months. If im still alive.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if it's Isaac Moses. After all his star client Galvin is about to start negotiating and it's hard not to allow him to insert clauses into his contract if Luai has them. Plus how many people would know Bula was switching to Moses aswell as the details of his current contract.

You are 100% spot on…Issac Moses is bigger than Abdo and PVL with his influence in the game…and the NRL do nothing about it…

What a convenient scape goat they still are…. Time to cut that one loose

Mbye,.Packer 4 year deals.

Nofo 4 year deal over paid.

C'mon..Lee and Pascoe couldn't run a profitable brothel with the Victorian secret girls.

Lee trying to get on the media all the time was one of the biggest blights this club has ever had.
