If this is true (which is good business), it’s disgraceful that it’s come out in public,
We need our players to buy in, this just gives them a get out clause if it gets to hard
Wouldn’t it be nice if the club said **** it and went after an established under-contract 7 or 1.
I’d be tapping on Pongas shoulder, isn’t he homesick yet. He’d get a mil plus a shite load of 3rd parties
How many times have you heard that contracts don’t mean a thing,
Extremely different circumstances though
1 broke no laws and back flipped on the titans
The other (lucky not to go to prison) went on a drunken drug fuelled rage threatening a families life
Either way and purely from the brand/marketing/image aspect, can’t really see the board allowing this to...
1000% No to Lodge as captain, forget about the fact he’s lucky to playing in the NRL, the media madness, scrutiny and consistent past indiscretion questions he’d cop every interview would be crazy.
I also seriously doubt he’d wan’t to re-live the incident every press conference.
He will get at least half a dozen games to prove himself, at which point if he fails he will/should be dropped. If hes adamant and doesn’t want to leave, we can Ill afford to let him trigger his 15 nrl game clause
Wtf are you going on about, how do I not get it,
I stand by original comments, there is no doubt that the ONLY reason Boyd is here and subsequently re-signed is because of Wayne, IF WAYNE didn’t want him Boyd WOULDNT be here. Are you telling me the club would have committed a further 4 years if...
Ok then, as I clearly have no clue, let me see if I understand, club brings back a 7 time premiership winning coach and doesn’t afford him the retention and roster ownership to win? Wayne so graciously obliged and has no power to hire and release players? Wayne has no say over Boyd’s...
Boyd is here on a big contract 10000% because of Wayne. Our management/club hierarchy should not have bowed down and approved a 4 year contract extension to a 30+ year old, regardless of how well he was going at the time. In hindsight a 2 year extension with yearly options in our favour would...
Lodge - the bloke who terrorised a family in a drunken rampage, you’d like to be named the captain of the most prestigious club in the game?????
You guys can’t be fucking serious, The bloke is deadset lucky that he’s been allowed back onto a football field.
Tbh I’m not that disappointed at all.
Making the finals just papered over the cracks, We need the club/coach to make some big calls
Need to Tap Boyd, Macca to the bench or early release, Offer Bird an early release, settle either on SOS/Dearden/Croft early and build from their.
Yeah Id say there’s like zero chance we’re paying anything, like stables said, he was the one pushing for a release. Your internal has no idea. He’s probably an intern or smh/telegraph jurno (same shit different smell)
It’s the grade 2 charge that was excessive and inconsistent. 2 weeks plus 1 week loading etc would have sufficed. 5 weeks was just a joke especially when compared to Melbournes (cough, cough) legal ufc/wwe tackles, along with Burgess and Trbojevic tackles getting zero in recent weeks makes the...
