Rumours and Stuff

The article above implies we are one of the clubs paying significantly for players that are now at other clubs ? I can’t think of anyone we’ve let go early in the last fews years ?

Its Morts isn’t it

I think it’s saying that to move on players like Sivo and Matterson would require the club to carry some of their freight due to them taking up their options. And that the club somehow has come to the realisation that offering player options isn’t the best way to manage a roster.

Which is weird, because someone here has said there’s no downside to player options from the club’s perspective.

He had a player option for the amount if he left

This bit …

According to an NRL benchmarking document disseminated to all clubs, the bottom four teams spent an average of $1.243 million each in “freight”, the amount paid to a rival to get them off the books. That contrasts with the $479,000 that a top-four team paid on average to shift an unwanted player.

We are obviously one of the bottom 4 clubs but it doesn’t refer to a specific time frame so who knows

The $1.25m contract black holes hurting battling NRL clubs

The true cost of moving on an unwanted NRL player has been revealed as Parramatta seek a different strategy for future contract negotiations.

Ah yes, I see. Hmmm, I can’t think of anyone at the moment who the club would be paying for at another club. It does suggest it’s an average number across the bottom four, and doesn’t specify the timeframe of the analysis, so hard to pinpoint how applicable it would be to Parramatta. Though I would think we’re in for much more of paying freight if there’s going to be a roster cleanout, particularly for our player option recipients who might be on the chopping block.

Wade Egan is the most inconsistent hooker in the competition one week he is the best player in the league the next he makes Joey Lussick look like Cameron Smith..

Probably good he plays for the most inconsistent club as well...

The form of his team is why he is inconsistent. Every hooker in the game is heavily dependent on his pack, on both sides of the ball.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Keep dreaming. He was always going back to souths

I think so. They have massive resources. He chewed up their last premiership window ands then let others deal with the lean years following it. Now he’s back in time for the next window.

I don’t think so. But Sanders can get f**ked.

Can MA get f**ked as well?

Well for starters he has moved his son on from the club he created a rails run pathway for the second he was rightfully punted. In saying that, I’m glad he did it but it shows the lack of class from the merkin.

His son didn’t want to be here, same as his other son. It’s understandable. The fans shat on two of his closest relatives.

Definitely. Merkins who don’t want to be here can f**k off. I wish them well.

I'm sure Boods release would have been decided by Ryles. Obviously he dosent rate him or he dosent want a player who is still maturing.
I guess its a sign of the times but I can't see any universe where as a young apprentice, I would be agitating for a release from my Company's Management. He will probably go the way of Jake.

Jake has a top 30 contract at another club where he is first choice backup.

If it was up to you one of Kearney’s grandkids would have been making their debut this weekend.
