NRL Player Movements & Rumours

[Jedhead]

I know it’s only that pond scum weedler, but he’s reporting Shuster unhappy at not being played at 5/8 despite Manly giving him and his family a firm promise when he signed.

Please God let DD and Ikin make a play for this guy. He is such a talent and just what we need at 6.

@McHunt might like to check this out. Here is where a proper re-build could be instigated. This guy is a future superstar.

He's under contract until 2024, Manly won't be releasing him early.

They will if he arcs up about them reneging on their promise to play him at 5/8. Most teams will not contemplate paying a player's wages who is disgruntled with the club.

As the saying goes- If you try might you might
If you don't you won't.

Some players, sure. They obviously see him as the future 6 of the club, and Foran doesn't have long left. It won't happen. And also, as reported by the media it's not actually Josh that's said anything to the club or Des, it's just his manager/family.

Oh OK so DD and Ikin should not bother making any inquiries then. Right.

Exactly, as they are only allowed to discuss 2025.

They have Latu Fainu coming through on (reportedly) the biggest contact ever given to a junior. He's their long term 5/8.

Not really a fan of players throwing a tantrum when they aren't given their desired position to play, prefer blokes with a team first mentality. A bit different if he wants to play first grade and there's nothing available at Manly

Do you think his manager/family just made this up, or is it likely that they found out Josh is upset about not playing 6 from discussions with him

I don't think it matters. It's the same with the Raiders WAGs taking shots on social media, do you think the players approved that or preferred they'd shut up? I'm sure Des has had conversations with Josh, and this is just another media circus to get some clicks.

That's not the case in this instance. It's his manager and family arcing up because Manly themselves had made that promise when he was signing his contract. Now if they re-sign Foran for next year it will mean a further year he has been short changed by the club.

Don't promise what you can't deliver.

They are allowed to “discuss” whatever the hell they want.

 

[Foordy]

No they're not, clubs can only talk to players about the years they are off contract.

Of course the NRL have to prove clubs were breaking these rules, and they've never been able to do that. Just look at the salary cap scandals, pretty much every investigation has been started due to a whistle blower

Not according to the NRL rules.

 

[mrslong]

Can we please never speak of kodi to the broncos again. He is NOT a step forward.

I saw that yesterday .
Wants to play 5 /8 . Come on down !

These days if a player says they want to leave .They leave .

Can talk all they like just can`t write contracts .

NRL rules - I almost laughed ….
