Rumours and Stuff

How did we resign him without it being dragged through the media!

We did a good job hiding that helicopter ride over Kellyville.

Actually BA moved on his manager the Orr Brothers they obviously weren't doing a good enough job selling him to potential buyers in Perth & Gold Coast who were offered BA services to be head coach.

Hannay & Mal were seen as better options.

Maybe those clubs should have just ventured on here and seen some of the spin that BA was just an awesome coach who could do no wrong he would had another gig in the NRL by now.

Now thinking of it The Mole has been tight with BA for years.

The Mouthpiece is probably actually BA which is hidden by "Source close to the former Eels coach".

Did the whole family find new management? Who is BA with now?

No one

He manages himself he told Michael Chammas last month when they were in Leeds covering the RL Ashes.

He doesn't want a manager anymore and can manage his own affairs.

 

[hineyrulz]

Wow!!

Shows how low the standards are at this club and with the fan base. Someone at the club does their jobs and it’s time for a Bukkake party.

I didn’t know you can sign contracts with Crayons???

Because he was already contracted until the end of ‘27.

The aerial view of Featherdale Wildlife Park was the clincher.

Because he wasn’t free to talk to rivals for another 11 months

You must have pretty tame Bukkake parties in Qld.

I agree mate, people need to be more like you and not get excited over mediocrity.

We might need to get Bonnie Blue back from Bali ffs!!

I’m very excited about this re-signing.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Good job extending Iongi. I was saying during the season I’d be trying to do that sooner rather than later as his talent is pretty obvious.

 

[85 Baby]

Not a fan of players having 5+ years left on there contracts outside of special circumstances like a Moses who you just have to offer those deals for elite playmakers to keep them.

Because i think it makes players get into too much of a comfort zone and they lose there edge a bit.

But Iongi where is he atm with age, potential and the market with 2 new teams coming in.

I think he fits into that bracket you can justify a 5 year deal on.

His a banker at the back you can already trust & rely on for the next decade really in a crucial position.

As Pou would say, the 5 years would mean his per year cost is lower

Well I must say I’d like to be surprised about this development………

 

[Avenger]

Or it could be even higher once the inevitable ratchet clauses kick in. No matter what thought Pou lands on, he’ll still be the odd one out — he always manages to put himself there. Then play the victim and wait for help. It’s Pou 101.

The mole is having a laugh

Surely the Tigers ain't this dumb to sack Benji for Brad Arthur.

Oh and BA's mouthpiece says he has plenty of options haha.

Perth isnt of them though after they brushed him for Mal

'Confused' Tigers players to follow Benji to exit if axe drops

'Tigers need to think very carefully'

Benji Marshall is the next Wests Tiger in the crosshairs of the Holman Barnes Group that has cut a swathe through the club.


Insiders have told Wide World of Sports that the group has already secretly nominated a potential replacement for Marshall - former Eels coach Brad Arthur.


Benji "has the full support of the board" - but will need to win plenty of games next season to retain his post.


The Holman Barnes Group is conducting a purge of the club, with chairman and former NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell, three other independent directors and CEO Shane Richardson all moving on in the past week.


Arthur is coaching Leeds in England and has made no secret of the fact that he wants to coach in the NRL again - most probably in 2027.

A source close to the former Eels coach cryptically told WWOS this week: "He will not be short of options."

Marshall is the last remaining high-profile off-field figure at the club following mass changes in recent seasons that have come to a head over the past week.

He lifted the Tigers off the bottom of the ladder last season to 13th spot and will need to at least equal that feat to retain his job for 2027.

None of this is happening

 

[King-Gutho94]

As Pou would say, the 5 years would mean his per year cost is lower

He wouldn't have seen the contract just like the rest of us on here haven't.

So its pointless going off what he says and judging that to be factual.

Anyway a figure like 800k for a fullback now might be seen as overs in 26 & 27 but unders in 28-30.
