I’ve seen enough preliminary finals losses that I’m stoked when we win one. So yes I do enjoy making grand finals, regardless of the result.

7 mins to training..who wouldn't want that?
No...at BA
The club are absolute muppets who offered the PO.
From the link aboveInternally, there has been talk at the Eels about a succession plan for Gutherson at fullback. Talagi is an option, although there are no guarantees he will be at the club beyond this season. The talented teen has an option in his contract that he can trigger should he choose to do so, although he will undoubtedly allow it to lapse, knowing it represents a payday below his market value.
His manager has been in discussions with the Eels about a more palatable deal, but they haven’t been able to find a landing point yet. Rival clubs are watching the situation with interest.
It is a tricky situation for Parramatta. Talagi is keen to prove himself at fullback, while the club is mindful of not throwing him in before he is ready. It’s a similar balance they’ve tried to strike with Ethan Sanders.
So who will be the fullback? Captain? Goalkicker?
When colleague Christian Nicolussi put those questions to Arthur, his response was: “I’ll leave that in the too-hard basket for a few days.”
Why Gutherson’s absence will hurt Eels more than that of Moses
When captain Clint Gutherson doesn’t play, Parramatta win only one in three games. That statistic spells trouble for his team – and his coach.www.smh.com.au

What’s the problem with a PO at below market value? Where’s the risk? You’re just looking for stuff to be upset about.
I think they mean thrown into FB.
Why would you offer the player the option to accept the lower market value? You sign them for the low market value for as long as possible, not leave it chance.
Well the player has to agree to it in the first instance. In this case the player wouldn’t have wanted to sign for the second year at f**k all in case he was killing it before the end of the first year. One year with player option is the compromise between a one and two year contract. Player managers won’t let talented youngsters sign long contracts at minimum salary any more because it removes their potential of a big pay day.
I have a problem giving an 18 year old so much power and leverage before he has laced a boot on FG.
