NEWS Wayne Bennett hits Brisbane Broncos with $400k claim

[Eta Carinae]

Too much to expect from this one. I absolutely schooled him earlier in this thread and when given proof that he was wrong he just went silent. He is a troll and that is all.

FFS and I'm the troll............. Are we talking about me or about how WB is suing the club and how it got to that point here? Lets be careful not to get off topic. It almost seems like that is what you want......

FYI, I don't "just go silent". I was busy and then enjoying my vacation. If I want to prove a point, I don't provide a link to an article hidden behind a paywall and then denounce the other party for not being able to read the article due to the paywall. If you want me to read it, you pay for the paywall to be removed! And make sure it's short and clear as I have no legal training and for me more important things to do than gain such knowledge.

I was perfectly honest and clear that I had no legal training at all and that I didn't know however what you described seemed suspiciously like lies to me. And wouldn't you know it? They were lies or the result ignorance. "No win no fee" arrangements do exist in Australia. They are very common! If you deny this is true, I will be happy to send you a PM to several links not hidden behind paywalls. But I will no longer be drawn into it on this thread because I fear we are getting way off topic.

A very one dimensional troll at that.

You are right. Until the season starts I don't have much to say. Seibold seems to have an excellent team apart from the terrible spine at his disposal (thanks Wayne!). Lets see how he goes. I don't have anything more to say on it for now. Is Bird a dud or were the games he played last year just an aberration? Don't know yet. Is Boyd passed his best or way passed his best? Is he still first grade standard? Not sure. Only time will tell. Are the young forwards as good as we hope they are? A workhorse like Fensom could be an excellent buy to help them with that. Let's wait and see. Is it ok now? Am I still a "one dimensional troll"?

This thread is making me unhappy. So far it has categorically proven that everyone except me knows how to do those cute little emojis. If I don’t figure it out soon I’ll have to talk to my kids and nobody wants that.

Click the little smilie face.

You don't admit when you are wrong, you just ignore the posts that prove you are, which you did again just today.

Exactly when ? I often admit I was wrong, even earlier today and many times in the past. You choose to forget.

Ha ha ha...totally schooled, went silent. Please oh please stick the posts up where this happened and if it is as you say I totally will own my total schooling.

Err, you did mean me Huge ,right ? If not then my next post is going to hurt, me:cbiggrin:
I deleted shit from my last post because I think I misread, over reacted or plain fucked up. I'm thinking you were calling Eta Carinae a troll and not me but I could still be wrong about that so before I dig any deeper.....

I love this thread so much.

Yes. you are very much the troll. I look forward to your third coming in due course.

Did you miss my response when I replied to your comment about the paywall and provided you with other links to confirm what I was saying was correct? I assume that you simply could not respond to that so you disappeared instead of simply admitting you were in fact wrong.

Just further proving your ignorance. No win no fee arrangements are something completely different to what you proposed initially. You really should not venture opinion about things you know nothing about.

What you suggested originally is that his lawyers would take a percentage of whatever award of damages WB received. That is called a contingency arrangement. They are not permitted in Australia. But from your extensive legal experience you obviously know differently.

In a normal retainer, prior to work being done the lawyer is required to provide a fee agreement to the client which the client signs. These are heavily regulated and the lawyer has to stick to that proposed estimate or provide a revised agreement if necessary. In that agreement they specify what the likely range of fees that the client may have to expect to pay. A no win no fee agreement is simply a variation on these where stipulates that the lawyer is only entitled to charge for their costs (outlays still usually have to be paid by the client) if the litigation is successful. The costs that they are entitled to charge are the same as for any other client and not a percentage of any damages they are awarded. Therefore, they are not a contingency agreement.

No not directed at you at all. I was saying Eta is the troll and it is too much to expect him to acknowledge he is incorrect. The schooled bit also referred to Eta/Reyter.

In the Seibold thread, you said something to the effect of “if Seibold is so good why did they not want to keep him and move him on” and then completely ignored my post where I told you you are making up rubbish as it is well known Souths were desperate to keep him.

 

[lynx000]

My apologies to all for my responses to Eta/Reyter, I will not respond further on that issue either.

 

[TonyTheJugoslav]

I love this thread so much.

I am waiting for it to turn into we should have not let Ash Taylor go and Ben Hunt is shit thread.

 

[Smartseal]

We have like 10 pages of "It was Waynes fault because" and "It was the Broncos because". What's the point lads?

I could not like this more. So correct, and with some of the posters the positions are so entrenched on both sides nothing is going to shift despite the various responses. We may as well be arguing about how many atoms you can fit on a pinhead.

As an outsider it's amusing to watch you guys all self destruct & turn on each other. Probably hasn't happened as much since 04/10/15.

Actually, none of this is unusual in this place, there is regularly a diversity of views on many topics which are robustly debated. Just like any league forum really.

It’s the off season...or didn’t you know!

I apologize for jumping to the wrong conclusion. I got that wrong.

Oh right. I wasn't aware they were desperate to keep him and the fact he was there for just one season and allowed to be shopped around combined with only being given a year long contract initially seemed to indicate that Souths didn't have any great faith that he would be worth keeping. I don't see that as making up rubbish and it was a genuine question fairly asked. Had they really felt desperate to keep him I think they would have offered him a juicy and longer contract and would have done so before the possibility of coaching Brisbane in 2020. Perhaps they did and he foresaw the future. I wasn't wrong or stirring the pot, I asked a reasonable question. It remains unanswered.
