That's none of your business
Back in the day I played soccer and I happened to share a change room one night at Leichhardt with him. Dead set he was wider than he was tall.
Mate you seriously have NFI if you think Arthur didn't stink this joint up and had left us so fkd. He is the same bloke who presided over this team for 11 yrs and the defence has been horrid for most of it.
For now...has Matty had another cry?

Same shit here..click on the X..That gets rid of it.. it's so fkn annoying like some of the posters and special guests who have decided to invade us lately...we don't need then adding to our misery
Refusing to deal with a given manager is a puerile move, cutting our nose off to spite our face. It would just reduce our options in the player market and give more power to the remaining player managers.
I don’t think it’s possible to dumb it down any further.
But after I click the X it just comes back.
Lomax
If he’s got that much potential and still available it’s not because his current club hasn’t tried to lock him up earlier. He has a manager in his ear telling him to hold out. They will want a top thirty deal for 2025.
He will start negotiating an extension (or jump ship) months before the PO expires.
Yes it's farked
That’s because nobody knew what he was worth. I’d say the likes of Dylan Brown offer fairly predictable value.
It’s not weird. He is playing Flegg and clubs (and the player’s manager) are trying to decide what he is worth as a future NRL player, and how soon.
Guymer…
Once they turn 18 they are stuck with whatever contract they sign. That’s why serious poaching doesn’t start until SG Ball. It’s also why player managers are reluctant to allow clubs to lock players down too long. Imagine if Talagi had signed a minimum salary deal through until his last year of Flegg eligibility (2026). Did anyone here think he was going to receive offers above $500k this time last year? His manager knew it was possible, and a long term contract on ~$150k means he would’ve missed out on over half a million dollars by the age of 21. This is why clubs are forced to take the risk locking these merkins down long term. Talagi is probably on minimum salary this year but for them to agree to a longer contract it would’ve had to be for much bigger numbers. Risky for a kid who had never played against adults.
I bought a car a few years ago off the Ferrier Hodgson administrator who ran our club during the salary cap mess. I quizzed him heaps about how f**king stupid our club was ( we paid the grounds man $800k on the books but off it was like $100k, the rest went to the players). Don’t quote the figures but it was something like that. Anyway eventually the grounds man gets disgruntled and dobs us in. The Ferrier Hodgson dude said Nick Politis is the best at it as he’s old school. It’s the good old brown paper bag under the table and only he and the player knows.
