Yes he could , he’d just add a clause that if you get halfway through the glass and decide you don’t like it , he’ll give you your money back and a fresh glass.

We might as well give Mitch Moses' dad a job at the club.

If what is reported is true, ie Dragons have signed Drinkwater, that looks like they have signed 2 players that are obviously superior to the single player we signed from them. When will our guys get serious and actually sign upper tier players and pay them what’s required , sigh.

Ps the Dragons are described as in a worse position than us.

apparently Isaac Moses has his hands all through dragons negotiations.

he’s waving Jahreem Bula around as a play thing, telling the dragons that he will sign with them, but only if they guarantee Flanagan remains coach for the duration of the contract he signs.

really wish we had no connection to the bloke, he’s a cancer in the game.

if Flanno is sacked it wouldn’t surprise me if he tries to weasel him into parra in exchange for Mitch’s happiness in the next year

They were talking about Bula on 360 how Moses wants Bula to sign a new contract either at the Tigers or somewhere else so Moses gets paid. If he takes up is PO or the club goes with the CO Moses misses out as Bula joined him post getting his Tigers contract.

I'd take Bula... maybe we can turn Ionghi into the five eighth?

Bit stupid for them to tie Bula to Flanagan staying - if I was a player looking at the Dragons, I'd make it a bargaining term that Flanagan gets sacked in two weeks before I sign on for 2027.

Listening to the 40/20 podcast today the journos were saying apparently MON is on the phone all day trying to get recruits from other clubs but having no luck because he only wants them for 2026 not 2027 and beyond. So i guess the players want at least a 2 year deal.

 

[the phantom menace]

Because the rugbaleeg media made a circus out of them in recent years, prompting this:

RLPA threat forced NRL to remove player contract information from its website

The NRL edited its own website after the RLPA sent an email arguing for players’ privacy.

www.smh.com.au

The RLPA has made clear that POs are not exit clauses because they "do not officially form part of a term of a contract until they are exercised, which is why player options are not made public until that point."

Policy Positions & FAQs - Contracting Windows - RLPA

Contracting Windows Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), players and clubs are subject to agreed restrictions on when and how they can negotiate contracts. Any changes to these contracting restrictions must be agreed with the players’ representative body, the RLPA, and cannot be made...

www.rlpa.com.au

So do you conclude therefore that the reason Will Penisini is only announced as being under contract to end 2026 - when he himself has stated he'll be with us until end 2028 - is because those next two years are a PO that Will has yet to exercise...?

Let’s hope there are some decent sign8ng for 2027, or else more of the same.

As a player, would you do any different?

Agreed. But why the f**k does MON think they would agree to 6 months only?
