Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[Avenger]

Really?
If you've signed a contract to be paid a certain amount you would just be happy to give up a percentage of that amount for no reason?

But there is a reason in his circumstances. He’s not able to do his job properly, anymore.

 

[Avenger]

He was hurt playing NRL. He should be paid.
I think NRL need to look into if medically retired due to concussion it not counting against cap of club pays it out.

The club now pays it out but not at 100%. Not covered by insurance anymore under the new EA.

This is 100% correct. The huggers can’t accept that Matto is a known Softcock.

100% mate.

Well if your attendance was not what was expected, if you're a contractor you don't get paid if you don't show up. With the matches he has missed in recent seasons he's getting more per match now than he would normally have been getting. The merkin is in a win-win situation.... His current issues are reportedly to do with a "sore back" and nothing to do with his concussion history.... I think he's got a classic case of softus cockus....

Compare this clown to Gutherson when it comes to playing with injury.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Which is why he should medically retire but because the new EA doesn’t cover them for their entire wage he is happy to sponge off us for another season or 2.

I reckon he has sponged off us since he signed his last contract.

He aimed up for 7 weeks to get a NSW jersey and a contract extension but after that it's been a combination of niggles, sickies and suspensions.

The last bloke that needed a 4 year contract including a PO was Matto.

I have said for years Matto is a strange cat he isn't close to any of his team mates and beat to his own drum.

Its a flow on effect of the selfish culture that have rotted the joint for years.

Take it to the Matto is a Cat thread.

Link???

It's a classic example of a PO gone wrong

PO’s that go wrong are what the smart clubs do.

[the phantom menace]

Can anyone cite a PO that "went right"? As in the player activated it at the agreed price, and the club was actually happy that they stayed around...

I have been reliably informed you either need to pay a 4k entry fee for that thread.

Or you have to wait and sit out for 3 weeks for your application to be processed and accepted.

Generally most just do a matto & sit out the 3 weeks to then get accepted.

Not me. I have some integrity.

Integrity or just cashed up and don't need the money?

Come on mate.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It's a classic example of a PO gone wrong

How has it gone wrong? It's the whole point of the PO. If there's no benefit to the player, why would he agree to it?

Fair call. Harry's the PO unicorn I guess...
