i don’t get the silence part abt api re-signing and star
surely club could use some good news lol

Probably an announcement prior to the Titans game.

 

[tiger_one]

Lots of words but not a single point that justifies the decision to let him go right now (rather than at the end of 25) and give up on the current season at the end of June.

I heard that there's a benefit to the club in the management of their salary cap, extra $$$ this year and next to better spend across the roster.

 

[Tom Shines]

I reckon they are front loading APIs contract this year... Hence why TDS leaving now works for us... And sets us up for a big 2026

Gut feel?

If you try and clean up every mistake they are making you are gunna be a busy boy…

If they botch the Api deal that would be Pascoe-esque.

Supposedly he was on $250k this season increasing to $400-500k next … so letting him go now saves about a $100k… so not much … I would have chosen to keep him to see out the season given desperate times

Next year is a different story … but they could have still chosen to let him go at the end of the year

And the sad reality is our club probably needs to make those sorts of decisions that equate to 100K whereas our competition don’t. That’s the main disadvantage we have. It’s been obvious for years and Richo has stated it many times, we need to improve the bottom line.

I don’t buy it mate … they have more money than they can spend left on the cap …a $100k is changing nothing there

The problem is spending money outside the cap …

There’s so many examples I won’t list them all but when you’re moving stadiums for a few thousand extra corporates, sacking barbers and employing volunteers for game day, you’re on struggle street. Last CEO tried to smother it, Richo has been upfront with us.

Based on Richos experience as an NRL administrator.. he knows what he is doing..

That’s got nothing to do with saving money for Da Silva … that money is given to them by the NRL to spend on players … and can’t be used to pay the other bills

He is not keeping you informed of what he is doing

I'm finding alot of fans cant grasp how poorly run the tigers were before Richo came on board and the enormity of the problem he's trying to fix.

If they botch the Api, deal, Api will be the villain, and once again the club won’t have to take the blame. Just another ungrateful player to add to a long list.

He told us himself how quick and easy it was gunna be .. several times ..

I don’t think even you believe what you say sometimes.

That’s not what he said when he took over. Excuses, excuses.

It’s all dollars mate, however you want to frame it we are a struggling club.

More BS. He said Souths and Cronulla were MORE BROKE.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

More BS

Did you not see his presser the day he was appointed? He scoffed off that this club was in a terrible position.

I did. He compared us to his revival of clubs who had the wolves at the door. He praised HBG as a supporter of the club -who had just hired him - and before he’d gone over Pascoe’s books- probably something that should be considered.
