$70,000 won’t get him into our top 30 according to the NRL website’s salary cap page. We need to offer him $75,000. Hopefully our recruitment team know the rules better than the NRL writers.

Maybe, development contract is $60k, $5k a month. Contracts go from beginning Nov to end Oct, so we have already paid him $5k. Thus bringing the $70k up to $75k.

While I would let him go, it’s a pretty smart ploy by the eels, we need to fill a couple of spots in the top 30, and it’s a super cheap option. Stefo really has no option but to accept it, if we don’t release him, play for $60k or play for $75k.....

Yep. We’re not a charity for the West Tigers. There is absolutely nothing to gain from us releasing him early. Good to see the club are developing a ruthless edge.

I wonder if it’s a ploy to try and keep him - but not sure how he wouId “break” his contract.

Tigers havent announced it yet either.

Can he get out?
I was thinking the same thing.

I think standard NRL contract cooling off period is now seven days ( was 14 ) Unless he's waived it.

I'm no legal cockatoo by any means but how come we can get Matto so easy yet they can't do the same in regards to Stephano?

They released Matto

The Tigers released Matterson from his contract, most likely to use the dollars elsewhere. There is no pressure on Parra to release him as he still has a valid contract, it's basically a decision that is up to the club.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Yeah but why were we able to sign Matterson when they can't do the same with Stefano?

 

[Eelogical]

Fair enough.

But cheifly said it was a swap deal. Maybe we've chucked a Pauline and reneged on our promises.
