NEWS Dodgy Deal: Broncos accused of deception by Schoolboys captain

[broncos4life]

I think if he genuinely wanted to leave there are better ways of doing it than taking the Payne Haas method. I cant see the point of keeping an unhappy player and if we could work something out and he turns into a star and wants to come back at some point no bridges would have been burnt.

He might well feel he has been hard done by, but it seems he has had bad advice from somewhere and he just has to live with it and learn from it.

Nope no more of this “do the best thing for the player and hope one day they come back”. We always do this and it gets us nowhere. He plays or he sits on the sideline and be a cautionary tale for the next piece of shit that wants to pull this garbage.

Doesn't really help anyone having a player who doesn't want to be here.

I don't think it's a matter of hoping they might come back down the track, more if they want a move in the future if they do leave and It's all been amicable it puts you in with a better chance. Problem is now he hasn't gone about it the right way.

We can take a stand all we want, but if his attitude continues it's only a matter of time until he becomes an unnecessary distraction.

That's not going to be good for us.

Hard to become a distraction if you aren’t on-site.

He doesn't need to be on site for the media to make it a distraction.

The other side of the argument is that it'd make the Broncos push-overs. They had to eat crow on the Walsh situation but now they have to put their foot down.

This isn't some typical situation like some are painting it as. Oloapu is asking for a release 1 year into a 3 year deal. It isn't like this is his 3rd and final year and he's committed elsewhere so would rather start early. Long term decisions were made around this player - others who had time and resources invested in were let go after a decision was made and now he wants to turn it against the club?

It's not right and just because the Dolphins find themselves in an unenviable position doesn't mean they can flout the rules.

It's in relation to Deine Mariner who has requested a release to join the 'Phins.

What the f*** you slimy old fox? Your Fins are bound to fail miserably for the foreseeable future.

 

[Midean]

Donuts knows what he is doing.
If there was anything illegal or dodgy happening, i don't think Dave would have put his foot down emphatically denying a release.

Sounds to me like a case of a sketchy manager filling the kids head with dreams of meeting blokes like Uncle Nick on the golf course and pumping up the hype surrounding him because he is playing good footy at a young age (remember Milford?).
Now he wants to test himself on the open market and do a Suaalli.

You would hope the clubs would contact each other regarding these amateur players managers and send a polite group message telling them that if they don’t respect contracts and rules (ie Haas, Mariner, Braith, Karl) then teams will refuse to deal with them in the future.

Yep this is where it would be good for our only current Aussie rep and future captain to step in and tell them these shenanigans in the media are not right…wait…oooooooooh.

I dont think they should release him unless we can come to an agreement, I've said as much. Any contract break should be a mutual thing but the Broncos can hardly take the high ground in that regard when you look at how we have pushed some contracted players out of the door over the last few years.

I still think it's naive though people think players getting tapped up is something exclusive to the Dolphins. We have done is for years and so has every other team in the comp.

How though? He isn’t part of the main group, it’s early in the off-season and he’s the one being made to look bad in this, not the club who has come out and debunked everything he’s claimed.

Look at how the club handled Haas as well, holding him to his contract and having been proven to have upgraded his contract before all that went down in good faith without having too, the club is coming out of this looking great.

 

[Wolfie]

I agree. Don't really have an issue with players trying to renegotiate deals, but they can't have hissy fits and asking for releases if things don't go their way while they are still under contract.

Nk doubt this is true but if The was wanting to make enemies of us Broncs fans, they’ve gone about it the right way.

Bit of a Catch 22 this old chestnut. What's the point of a contract?

 

[Big Del]

I asked him and he said 100% born in New Zealand.

But what would he know.

Wiki says Mariner is a Kiwi .
But his family were saying he`s Samoan . Lots of folks move to New Zealand from Pacific Islands . They still identify as culturally from that Island not NZ ...
