If the Tigers need to release players, then yeah, it should be with a view to keeping the up and coming talent at the club and getting rid of the older players who were signed for their experience. In this case I'd offload Fitzy and Cayless. There's your $100k. Fitzy was only signed for 1 year so it makes perfect sense given that he isn't setting the world on fire and Cayless has a dodgy knee once again and I really don't think we will see a lot him this year.
 
If there is a precedent set there for other clubs our club should have been aware of it before making an assumption. This isn't a trivial thing, it looks like someone hasn't done their homework and I would guess it is likely to cause friction within the club.
 
It means Tupou wont play this year, cant afford the match payments. It means Dwyer, Mullaney etc wont get a run.. or anybody else from TC or NSW Cup outside of our top 25, unless absolutely necessary.

Who are you kidding Willow? Sheens will let go of Marshall before he sacks Fitzy… :neutral_face:
 
Well time will tell how we get around this.

Fifita and Flanagan probably have pretty decent match payments for NRL games in their contracts as well.

It is not as simple as releasing two players like Fitzy & Cayless. Firstly they have already played so their contracts are included in our top 25\. Secondly neither would be on alot of money, well not enough to release them and bring in two minimum salary players and get back under the cap

Stupid rule interpretation by the NRL though. NYC is Flegg with TV cameras nothing more
 
Petero was right when he said this game is a mile away from reaching it's potential and that the game's administration is to blame. Stupid petty little oversights like this are just ridiculous and embarrassing. The administrators of this game have left me frustrated since the inception of the nrl.
 
Yeah it does seem stupid from the outside but as mentioned in the article there is a precedent for this so it wouldn't be right to change the rules for this circumstance. The club should have known rather than make an assumption, it was a dangerous move and will cause issues no question.
 
Really though, I mean I get the whole "fairness thing", but what was the idea behind NOT including Jersey Flegg but recognising NYC?

It doesn't make any sense why you would choose to do that to begin with.

Having said that, don't think we should have been banking on bonus' in our cap in the first place.
 
Other unpalatable alternatives include asking players to defer a component of their salary, cutting back on match payments or **not starting players who have a bonus tied to making a specific number of NRL appearances this year.**

Hmmm….could this have anything to do with how teams are being selected by Sheens this season......as it has in the past.....

Far out,,,,if only we could cheat better..... :brick:
 
So two juniors who have been part of the junior system for over 10 years do not qualify for this exemption. Another ridiculous decision and rule by the laughing stock of world sport known to us as the NRL. Wake up to yourself Gallop.

Maybe we should reluctantly release Fitzy (sarcasm intended) that has to be worth at least 60k

He is on match payments so won't make any difference.
