you can see from those replies why Weedler is regarded as one of the most respected NRL journos out there

 

[Incorrect]

Couldn't agree more. Some of these so called tough players are mentally piss weak off it and we pander to them.

All these "personal" issues players seem to be having... Reminds me of that Curb Your Enthusiasm episode when the caterer cancels for 'personal reasons' and Larry says "personal reasons?? You can get away with anything when you say that, nobody has to explain, they just say 'it's personal'"

So true :lol:

 

[TheRam]

You've definitely got something

I hope they are working on a cure for it

I think it already exists. It's called a zipper, but he refuses to use it, the dirty little dick player.

You'd hate working for government then.

The troubling thing about Semi though is that he move all his belonging out of his apartment. That doesn't sound like the act of someone who intends to hang around.

I mean where was he staying for the last couple of weeks and move his stuff to. That might be the key to whether he is coming back or not.

Semi also told that to those close to him. If Semi returns or not or goes to rugby is not in my control - that's the @TheParraEels issue

So Weidler now suggesting that it's up to us now ? Up the contract and he will stay ? SBW mark II if true.

Weidler also Tweeted that the eels confirmed to him before he went public that Semi would not be returning

Here's another theory...

Hand over what's been promised in the last 12 months and I'll come back...

the problem remains, TPAs are supposed to be between the player manager and the so called sponsor. So if that's the case, it's the player manager who would be held repsonsible. Now we all know that at every club there is an element of guarantee. Thanks to the NRL, Greenberg, Seeweed and the emperor it's almost impossible for the club to get involved as money itself is not a problem for the club

Greenberg is a terrible head of the NRL, faction driven moll that he is.

With the board suspended etc, the NRL has inevitably created the position we are in. A rich club that cannot use its resources, oh well that's what other clubs want and the NRL has assisted

Now that all TPA's have been added to our cap the club can guarantee all of them and just pay players what they are owed. Why wouldn't the club just pay?

 

[hindy111]

Exactly, don't f**k around. We found you and made you. You owe us until your contract expires.

Unless your HAYNE

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Could be that a top up TPA was promised but now that the NRL has deemed our TPAs to be an inducement to play for the club (unlike other clubs' TPAs :roll and therefore part of the cap, we are unable to make good on our promise to Radradra or we'll breach the cap again.

 

[hindy111]

Who is our best back? Who is the best back in the game? Who is our highest paid back?

1 - Semi
2- Semi
3-Jennings ( everyone know we paying overs for this guy him and Foran will cost us)

A lot of guys on here tug off over our great recruitment- Guys like KE- Manu Are what I call super signings.
Beau Scott was a good one to.

But Foran- Jennings-Watmough(wow we got out of that one) they are just crippling. We paid overs for guys so they represent no value. A way to stuff your cap.
Sure Jennings is playing good. But costing more then his return.
Watmough-We got so lucky.Imagine having to pay him another few years.
Foran seems a basket case currently.

The guys who turned our club around -
Semi - KE - Manu-Jnr. All these would be costing way less then what they give. Add Norman to that.
Most of the rest are just doing there job.Plug and play basically. You could swap them with guys who cost the same for a similar output.
We cleaned our cap up with Sandow-Lussick etc. But now it seems to be even dirtier waters.

 

[strider]

So im assuming you are not including halfbacks as backs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We're probably paying Jennings overs (not this year though, with the Chooks paying him) and he was probably unnecessary. But no matter what we're paying Foran (and I'm sure it's overs), he was essential. The new injury is just bad luck.

#justsayin

Well you'd just pay it wouldn't you? i mean we are already breaching the cap so a bit more won't matter. Pay him whats owed and offer him a extension with a upgrade. Simple.
