Rumours and Stuff

[Gronk]

Classic media article.

Roosters sign player X
Fans are confused and suspect foul play.

LU ERUPTS

Paul Kent and Gordon Tallis combine a few brain cells and call for an investigation.

Media be like "Look, we will just acknowledge the issue but then never do a follow up piece. Get on the phone and tell Uncle Nick to sign some third tier journeymen and then it will look like they are scouring the bottom of the barrel. Pack up when you're done boys, I hear Netball needs money"

I don't think you read the article.

 

[Gazzamatta]

^^^ Actually Cheese's manager implicates another club, but I couldn't resist sledging the Roosters.

“There was one club that offered me a backhander, but I had no interest in anything dodgy like that.”

Deflection!

I did not. Was just an attempt at humour.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yep, that's what I said.

But what I did say is, You're an idiot.

I might be an idiot but you’re the one who thinks we could have the expensive pack we have and still have kept all these other first graders. Kaufusi and co. are gone for a reason, and not because nobody at the club rated them.

Does that mean we get nrown back

Replaced by Hopgood ffs

Apparently we got 180k for N.Brown. he would be costing us 550k but about 150k already PAID.
Fair deal if ask me. We should be able to sign someone whomis on about 300-320k with the 180k ( considering contracts stats Nov 1)

says who ?

Nah, I meant the chooks sombero hopefully colllapses and the NRown contract becomes void. Do we have to take him back?

 

[Noise]

Gees, dude - chill!

It's round 1, and you're talking about 0 and 4.

We are just about there.

He agreed to break his Eels contract. His new contract with the Chooks has nothing to do with us.

are you sure we are not paying any freight ? if we are it has plenty to do with us

Yep.

Silly me thought we could actually improve.

For him to break his contract with us, we would have reached a settlement with him being somewhere near the difference between the balance of his contract with us, and the amount of his new contract with Roosters. We would then have paid him out that amount and it would go on our revised Cap for 2023. At this point, our existing contract with him is either null and void or alternatively a new contract is signed for the remainder of the year (there would need to be changes to a number of the terms).

He would then sign a contract with the Roosters and any issues with that contract dont have anything to do with us.

When people say we are "paying freight", it actually means we still have a contract in place with that player for whatever term is agreed, however it is revised to be of a lesser value than the original one. The losing club doesnt pay the gaining club... they continue to pay the player the new amount and declare the payment on their Cap. The gaining club simply has a contract with the player for less than they would otherwise and therefore declare less on their Cap (and have money available to spend elsewhere). The NRL allows the revised contract for the losing cluub to also free up a place in their playing squad.

 

[T-Boon]

The NRL should do more than encourage Smiths manager to give this information. He should be deregistered until he provides the information.

 

[jk13]

ahhhh so players take unders to go to the rorters because all these other deals are tainted..........makes sense.....

 

[IFR33K]

The eels should be giving Moses an ultimatum this week. If he chooses to sign with wests I’ll be brokering a deal to release him early for exchange with papa. Obviously they pay the difference. Id then offer that little halfback in SL a deal. was his name Jai field?
