Random Tigers articles from the media

[WA Tiger]

I would not have written Latrell a blank cheque or threatened Allo with the lawn mower.

When they sign on, I’d make sure all players sign a non-denigration clause once they leave (or are sacked) to shut their sorry asses up and stop defaming us with their whinging shite.

Low standards, never make the finals, boo hoo it pisses us off.

Lee’s a lawyer ....and he didn’t think of that. Mmmm

Yip 1 They've learnt from the Blank cheque fiasco from looking at the meagre offerings to JAC...and the embarrassing comments you are referring to I think were more for the gushing comments about Mitchel rather than with Aloiai. As long as they are learning from their mistakes right.

2 Honestly with the manner in which Aloiai spat the dummy I don’t think the lawn mower line could have been improved on..It sent a clear message that we won’t be intimidated and finally with a leader to match..It wasn’t a bitter or limp wristed comment like Pascoe would have come up with. At the same time it wasn’t an angry comment which is never as effective. But it sure hit the spot, and it was funny and Aloiai deserved it. That’s clever. And Sure the limo drove off with Aloiai less than a week later but only because we agreed to the compensation payment...

I’m surprised as a word smith with a reasonable sense of humour you don’t agree

 

[WA Tiger]

Allowed? Yes.
Get out somehow? Lol!

Allowed maybe, workable not likely

A simple contract clause I think.

The limo drives off, Allo waving us goodbye with his extra $200k per season and from me it was like

“ Good work Lee, you really showed him buddy”

and

“ Woe f**king betide any player who crosses us”

We showed all the courage of Ocky in a schoolyard.

The lawns remain too high around the club at the moment.

Daine Laurie, young smug finally arrives.

“ When the opportunity came up to join the Tigers, i grasped it with both hands.”

Methinks he meant “ both claws” Its good to see him arrive as against Ivans initial wishes.

Simpkins, fmd great signing.


This kid will rival big Tammas in a year or so, he’s massive. Feeding him might send us broke.

Harto and Madge: addicted to their beef.

There’s tough and there’s clever. I’m happy Aloiai is gone. I’m happy with his replacement, I’m happy with the compensation money, I’m happy he got a pounding from somewhere online or other. You want to keep a lunatic onboard who could risk our season and us possibly having a player short just for the sake of it? That’s not tough or clever..
Until we get into the top 8 and have multiple strong and experienced leaders onboard expect shit but manage it the best we can

If they could have that contract clause and still have players want to sign up they would have. It’s not a good advert tho is it

 

[BrotherJim05]

As much as it kills me to say this: Aloai will not be the last player of the current WT squad to chuck a hissy fit and leave. It will keep happening until we start making finals.. Which I don't think will happen until next year.

I'm just hoping that the next hissy fit won't be from a key player... someone easily replaceable etc

My bet is that they simply haven’t thought to put it in the fine print.

Id be surprised if a player won’t sign on the basis of post club restraint on denigrating the club, because they sign for money and/or opportunity.

I will raise it with Lee if our paths meet this year.

Restraints on conduct post-engagement are not uncommon in employment contracts, mainly to do with competition though.

Theres a few lawyers on lu, we should ask them I suppose.

 

[Fordy20]

Is such a clause like that allowed? It would get out somehow.

You can put whatever you like in a contract, but whether terms are enforceable is another story. Assuming such a term is legal, what would the optics look like? A ex-player has a sook on Instagram or Twitter, so the club pursues them through the courts? Can't see it happening

 

[Das Hassler]

I'm just hoping that the next hissy fit won't be from a key player..

We have a key player ?! Mbye being our sole current SOO player...and even he's a current SOO benchie "maybe". .fair to say that our key player bar is a bit lower than for most.

There’s a lot of contractual clauses out there designed to control conduct. I can’t see why it wouldn’t be enforceable.

Breach of contract, there’s heaps of cases there.

As for the optics, I don’t really care. If disgruntled ex players want to defame and denigrate us, they need to be punished. And a lot of clubs would follow suit.

I think @Mr Spock! is a lawyer or knows some, maybe he can shed light on the issue?

It'll happen even when we make the finals. It's about money. Aloiai was getting offered a couple of hundred grand more from Manly. It happens to Melbourne all the time without the hissy fits but it still happens.

That’s pretty good to detect it and halt work. There could be other stuff there to help our understanding of the traditional owners.

The NRL is penalising players for standing up against racism and our Wests Tigers are being careful and respecting ancient culture and indigenous heritage.

The current NRL management are relics and tools of the highest order.

Commissioner Fuller on the board, Norman under NRL arrest for fighting racism.

They bury us in utter bullshit.
