Rumours and Stuff

[The Phelan Folly]

As long as there's a legally binding contract for a lot of money, there's a chance he'll be back.

does he qualify for cap dispensation for this season?

 

[Noise]

Anyone think we are contemplating not giving Foran a release hoping he'll come good next year?

I doubt it. Then we have a player who is chewing up 1.2 million who is mentally unstable and disgruntled because we won't give him his release. Actually, this does sound like something Parra may do

Doesn't cap dispensation only relate to the second tier cap?Would have nothign to do with Foran's contract

We probably have until November to grant him a release before we start paying him for next year. We could be attempting to change his mind while he attempts to sort himself out

He copped a season ending injury. I'm sure he'll get close to all his money owed for this year. If not all.

Trying to keep Foran would be ideal, regardless of what some on here think about him. He's a very good footballer and a good personality regardless of his issues at the moment.

If not, unless we can get a Blake Green or maybe Hastings, I don't really see the point in signing a half that is the same or similar level as what we have. We're forgetting we could re-sign Cornish as well, who is only 23 and has plenty of potential. He's the same level as a Sam Williams or the like. Dargan and Doolan are talented kids who are at the same level as any of the other NYC level halves we're talking about. If we do lose Foran, and honestly anything could happen there yet, we have the same quality players as we might sign at the club already...

He's not worth $1.2 million under the cap with the current salary csp at about $7 million

Yeah, im just curious if hes off the books, cap wise, for the rest of the year if hes a write off & if it means anything to the 2nd tier cap?

 

[Kornstar]

I heard he only wants to play 1 because if he plays 6 he would have to change his Instagram and Twitter account.

That's ok, he can play in 38.

Looks like Wallace has re-signed with the Panthers for a couple more years

[Bazal]

Their young NYC hooker would be worth a look...if Wallace is staying, and I believe they've signed Manaia Cherrington too, he's unlikely to get a run at Penrith

I think if Hayne does not return we should dig in our heels and only give him a conditional release for 2017. Basically it's us or nobody. But only if Hayne reneges.

Reneges on what? Hayne isn't under contract to anyone and is a free agent, free to do what he pleases... you can't renege when you're a free agent!

Re Foran, we should release him as requested from 2017 contract if it's our favour to do so. That is, if we have ways to spend his $1.2mil next year (upgrades, front loading, meeting enforced TPAs) to make life easier next year and in the years to come. If we do release him, then he can play for whoever he likes - this is regardless of whether Hayne receives and/or accepts an offer to return.

If we don't release him, then he can "do a Jamie" and ask us permission to play in the bush, or in the super league for the time he would have been under contract to us (i.e. 2017), and in the case of super league that might also take some cap pressure of our payment of Foran's future contract - this is regardless of whether Hayne receives and/or accepts an offer to return.

 

[Avenger]

Reneges on our offer. Razumeš?

 

[phantom eel]

You can't renege on an offer... you turn it down. You can only renege if you've accepted it, and then change your mind.

Has Wonderboy even been made an offer be the Eels?

Not that I've heard, and with the leaking that's been going on at the club, and how eels hungry the media is it'd be all over the place by now..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Without a board desperately pinning their re-electability on bringing/keeping Jarryd Hayne at the club, there's no incentive for us to make him the highest paid player in the game like we did in the past. Therefore I don't think he'll be back.
