Rumours and Stuff

I wonder if the reason Papalii is being linked to the Warriors is because Parra are standing firm with not coughing up 1.9m for 3 years?

Warriors thing sounded made up.

did cherry evans have a verbal or signed contract with the titans ?

Different scenario. Back then, the 10 day cooling off period was a thing and he reneged within that period after Manly came up with an offer that trumped the Titans offer, so he was within his rights to renege regardless of terms, verbal or otherwise. That cooling off period has been scrapped for a while now ..

More like the manager proving a point he does not want to go Tigers and will go to any lengths to not go there.

Why is that relevant? At the time he 'backflipped' the Round 13 rule was in existence, which allowed players who had signed for a new club for the following season to back out up until the end of Round 13 of the current season. That rule does not exist anymore.

Same rule the OG Papali’i used to get out of his contract with Parramatta.

So if Ice stays can we assume he did indeed have a legal argument to do so or visa versa?

Ricky had a 12 year cooling off period and it still didn’t work for him.

Or the Tigers have decided that it's not worth "making" someone play for you.

Correct, and that Teddy used to get out of the deal with CBR.

I reckon the only way Paps gets out of contract is if Tigers cave. Paper Tigers you might say.

It would add more spice to the Parra/Tigers rivalry if that happens.

Moses, Matto & Papali'i have all basically walked out on Tigers despite contracted.

Yeah, I'm in 2 minds about it. In principle I think he should stick to his word. But I'd prefer he plays with us rather than against. Tigers have nothing to gain from losing him seeing as they let go Tualangi Garner and Luciano.

Yeah i am not fussed he made his decision last year and knew what he was getting himself into. I dont have any sympathy for him.

If he stays well its great news.

But the tigers didn't have a gun to his head for a contract in 2023 back in November 2021.

Paps should have waited to see how the season panned out or just re-signed.

He saw the $$$ and didnt think through his decision properly even though he had 6-12 months to make a decison if he really wanted too.

I'd love to see it.

We had Josh Papali back flip on us, and we also had the NRL refuse to allow us to sign Israel Folau.

Would be nice to get one back for a change.

It would be parra's luck that it will probably be the first time the NRL make a player either sit out or honour his contract.

We don't know the full story. Remember when Hayne was flown up to see the Tits facilities and nek minute he was in a hotel room with a pen in his hand ? His Agent was telling him that the Tits offer will be pulled if he doesn't sign and that the Eels are not interested. It turns out that the Agent was full of shit.

He probably bought houses all over Australia the lucky Merkin after he got his Manly deal....

Yeah well my take on all this for a long time is the players employ the managers not the other way around.

It does seem like a lot of the time the Manager makes the decision not the players. Especially with side deals with certain clubs and other players in there stable.

This is for all of them not necessary Papali'i situation but i reckon a lot of them need to grow up and make the decision themselves.

I remember someone saying one day these players should know what there worth why do they need managers for who don't have there proper interest at heart. All they need is to pay there lawyer for a day to come in and check over the contract and if all parties are happy sign off on the contract.
