Yeah after his manager and other clubs got into him to make the situation untenable. If you honestly believe that no other club has been a part of this and they are just innocently sitting around and now that he has a release they are a part of it then I have this awesome bridge you might be interested in.

By doing something no other ”player”(0 games) has ever done to a club in recent memory. Declare you will never play for them. Pretty sure literally nobody else in the game thinks that is a good idea. If he isn’t a petty little asshole on this matter then the other option is he’s telling the truth about being promised all that crap. It would be nice when players want to make big allegations on stuff like that they didn’t only tell half a story. I want to know who he alleges promised him what, in what words, and how many times? Otherwise don’t even bother saying shit like he has. Maybe we get Cobbo to explain to him that the promises made to him were taken out of context, and that the club is a good bloke.

Thats totally fair as well. No different to other sports. If you want a player under contract, you pay up for them.

ehh personally I'd say **** the transfer fee and let him rot. you can't win the PR war - who cares? you can win the contract war by making him stick to it.
he's never playing for us anyway no matter what we do, so why not **** him over like he's fucking us over?

Agree with this. Its not like he is a 7 year old. People are always too quick to excuse players because of their age. He's 18, he knows right from wrong, he knows how you go about doing things, and just like grubby Payne, you dont go about it by trying to throw your weight around and have a toddler tantrum to get what you want.
If he doesnt want to be here anymore, fine, talk to the club in a civil manner and come to an arrangement if possible. The way he has carried on the NRL should step in and make him honor his contract.

Depends on the fee. We might as well get something, and he is extremely highly rated so the fee should reflect this.

Yeah but not like we can then use it for another transfer? Or for topping up another wage? Brisbane aren't on their knees as it is so an extra 250k while nice doesn't change anything.
What would send more of a message is you sign a contract you stick to it.

No, thats a good point, we couldnt use it on our cap, sadly. Not every club could afford a transfer fee tbf though either. The Dolphins are one that could if he ends up there. Not sure what the answer is really, getting some money for him is probably best for business so seeing as he is one of the highest rated players in his age group we should demand a hefty transfer fee.

The answer is the freaking organisation that runs the sport should actually do their jobs and step in but we all know isn’t going to happen.
And on the unrelated PR point, who cares how we come out looking, being the nice guys does Jack all in this sport, you have to be ruthless.
Does anyone think the Panthers cared when the media was begging for them to release Burton early and they said nope screw that. Anyone think the Roosters care that everyone laughs about their salary cap shenanigans?
Let’s embrace the incompetence of this comp and use our clout to take care of our own ambitions.

I think we should have held our nerve and said no release. Three years is a long time in a short career to be kicking cans, he would only be hurting himself if he didn’t accept it.

Yep, that's what I figure. If you're so promising are you really going to throw a tantrum for 3 years and potentially **** your career over? Besides, how many juniors will overtake you in that 3 year period? Shut the **** up and keep your nose to the grind.
