Rumours and Stuff

Well mate, only an idiot would think it was stated as fact. I never said I could see the future. I'm not a f**ken soothsayer.

I feel like you've made another assumption. ONLY AN IDIOT.
It is possible that someone else other then an idiot took it as fact. Perhaps someone who doesn't understand the English vocabulary as well as others.

No because to take it as fact would mean they believe I can reliably predict the future, which would mean they are idiots. Drown might remain at the club longer than Gutherson or he might not. If he leaves before Gutherson it doesn't mean I knew it would happen. Likewise if he stays longer than Gutherson it won't mean I didn't think it was possible. But there's a fair chance Drown will leave at the end of 2023 whereas Gutherson is contracted until the end of 2025. It's a simple equation. I don't think we will get dragged into a bidding war for Dylan Brown, as good as he is on the field. It's not how we do things.

Sure. Soothsayers always downplay their abilities.

Just that, given their statures in the club, their outputs, and their respective salaries, that come the next review of their deal, we may not offer up what Moses wants to get.

It's all speculative.

Moses is a more talented player than Gutherson, but Gutherson is our captain, and sells more merchandise that anyone else at the club...

BTW my contact is a mate of mine who manages a few NRL players, so nothing is set in stone.

Big call to say now, moses won’t be renewed. He possibly won’t, but his form will probably force the hand of the eels.

Yes. I was just being sarcastic

O'Neil, and the retention team, have ceilings on what they're willing to pay - see Mahoney's situation as an example.

They may decide that we'd be better off giving the keys to the team to Dantoray Lui, and bolstering our pack, for example, rather than throwing big money at Mitchell.

As I said - it's all speculative.

But never say never...
