Isn't Lolohea stuck in reserve grade? Kearney won't release him until he gets an adequate replacement... Does anyone have Vai Toutai's number? He's a reserve grade quality player Kearney might be interested in...

He's a genius that Stephen Kearney...

John Folau is probably looking for a run.

That's obviously 1 of 2 scenarios....

1) your free to go

2) go and say hello to the reserve grade coach

If it's the later than the backlash will be real

Who f**king cares if it's the latter? Farrah played in reserve grade so can Moses. Maybe he told him he could go to try and get some good games out of him? Newsflash: people in the business are not always honest including his manager. You may get turned on by princess dummy spitters but the smart man can see the eels are not without this culture either and you are applauding it. The tigers are within their rights. This is not an entry level maccas job where they just replace you with the next drone, this is big business with massive implications.

True. So what do they get out of playing him in reserve grade?
1. Sets the precedent to current and future players that your club is not one that will allow someone on a contract to f**k them over.
2. Creates a culture of players that want to be there knowing that when they sign there is no way out
3. Punishes those that try to subvert the professionalism of this culture
4. Denies other teams a player thay could cost them a finals spot
5. Sends a message to the fans and sponsors of the team that the inmates don't run the asylum. Were you parading in the streets when Lyon left?
6. Humiliates people thay want to pretend to be victims while on massive salaries
7. Shows that the game is not about friends or mates, they are a bonus, results and the fans come first.

Since when is Kent a trusted source here? Probably right but lol.

Well, I guess that might not want to encourage any of the other blokes who have signed elsewhere for next year to try the same trick.
But if the clubs they have signed for have no cap space to offer for this year those players would lose money. Moses is a special case because he can get a zero payout release and still earn more for the rest of 2017. We allegedly have a lot of cap space.

They might not have space now, but given the nature of the merry-go-round, they might have if they move a player on, or catch a player f**king a goat outside a pre-school.

Can we somehow frontload him? So he costs less the following 2 seasons?
