I think we should all be united on this..
We’re all hurting but that’s one hell of a hot take. If we announced we were keeping Ethan over Brown last off season this place would absolutely implode.
An extension like that wouldn’t be much of an incentive.
Further to that, when asked about the signing of a UK super league player, he said that if the coach didn’t like the decisions made by the R&R committee he shouldn’t be the coach at Souths. Or words to that effect.
Matto should be last one ranting about everyone going in the same direction seriously the bloke lives in his bubble.
Ethan Sanders is as proven Lachlan Illias was when Souths moved on Adam Reynolds.
Why give any player a PO? It is a concession in exchange for the player to give up something. Without it he would’ve wanted more money.
The worst that can happen is that he is stuck in the books for a year when we’d rather him gone. How likely is that? And how much do you think he’d be on next year if he took it? You complain MON refuses to pay players what they’re worth but now he is handing out player options on overs?
That would be a massive risk. The only reason Grant would take up a PO would be if he couldn’t get more on the market, probably due to a crippling injury. Then he’s stuck on the books for a lot more than Blaize Talagi.
It protects the player; if he is injured or just fails badly against adults, it ensures he gets an extra year in the top thirty. That’s the only risk to the club. If the PO is for $500k then yes it’s a problem. But if it’s for minimum salary then it’s no big deal. We obviously thought he was worth it before the season started. More likely is that it’s worth something in between. But if he doesn’t take it up and instead chooses to negotiate (which looks likely) then we’ll know it was very cheap, and therefore very low risk.
You have literally just made a statement without providing anything to support your position. The club is always wrong no matter what.
Agreed. But I found it strange that Dylan was involved and Bailey also liked it (possibly more of them).
Yep, he was my first culprit but then realised he posted it. Whoever it is, it’s
You should get that as a tattoo, given how frequently use selective stats/statements to "support" your oppositional positions on here...
That is the question. Can’t see the club going for another unknown quantity like BA.
You enable me every time you criticise things you don’t understand.
Maybe it said Wayne Bennett doesn’t always know a premiership window when he sees one.
So Souths do the same as we do?
No they don’t Pou. They actually negotiate with the player and not submit a take it or leave it offer like our head of football.
Nice deflection from the subject being commented on mate.
Everyone’s doing their best mate, including me.
