Knock-on Effect NSW Cup - Eels Team

[oldmancraigy]

Everyone keeps posting like we had a choice about the options. Who says we did.

Basic tenant of making contracts: they need to be signed by both parties.
Refusal of terms would result in not signing. We weren't "forced" to include POs, we had the choice.

However, if Moses wouldn't sign without an option to get out and test the market at a later date - yes. I would give him that option

For Dunster? Lane? Matterson? Brown? (Etc) - nah.

I actually think giving Blaize Talagi a PO without even playing a FG game is more of a bonehead decision then giving one to Dylan.

Has anyone explained how we got conned with that one.

Some lunatic will trot out the commonly used rhetoric that we got a discount before the option. Pure fiction and fantasy. Might be true, but highly unlikely given it isn't so in other sports where salary is revealed. And is logically incoherent on so many fronts (eg. why would the player take less for one sugar hit high? There would be much easier ways to boost earnings through incentives, no PO needed.)

Whatever happens, Parra did the right thing....

Does every thread need to be overtaken by contract talk? Take it to the rumours and options thread

I think the blaize option really disproves this theory

How much of a discount was the club going to get on a SG ball player lol every dollar counts when you're in the market for a moimoisea or a harper

Good halves are golden in the nrl atm, and this incompetent organisation handed out three POs to 3 of our top four and managed to lose 3 of them.

Should be a good game to watch Sunday at 3pm!
