if we get to the Semi then BA can stay.

if not he can go early.

If we bail out early... I reckon a new coach will be announced quite early next year so he can determine the playing roster. As pou says, alot of players are off contract together with the coach at the end of 2022.

For obvious reasons they couldnt approach Bennett until after last weeks game. Probably happening as we speak.

I believe Gutho took "unders" because no other club was willing to higher than what we offered. He was quite entitled to tell us to get f**ked and that he would not be signing for "unders" and then go and sign for another club but of course, that would have meant risking playing for nobody or taking a lower salary elsewhere. As @Poupou Escobar often points out, a players market value is determined by what a club is willing to pay for them, not some made up value in the head of the player or their agent. Guthos market value last contract was 750K (assuming that's accurate). Simple.

His manager also needs to be reminded that the cap is now lower than it was when they last negotiated. He also has not led us to any significant improvement in terms of our premiership aspirations so by rights, I think we should be offering something similar to last deal. If he believes he's worth 7 figures per year then by all means have at it Gutho.

I'd offer 750K, and ask for last right of refusal. If someone Trump's 750 with a deal of 950K+ then yeah, it's Adios from me....

The upside of that is that we have a lot of cap space free for 2023.

Gutho’s manager is asking for $1m a season because he accepted unders ($750k) last time around.

bye Gutho.

no one will pay you that.

Which is f**ken bulllshit too!!

he was never paid unders, it was the market rate, no other club offered more…...

His manager is just pissed as we called his buff, and told him to get stuff …..Just like the Nrown negotiations this year….

it seems MON/eels is now winning all these player negotiations with managers !!

I'd say we're definitely paying a leadership tax (as does every club for their leaders), so to be worth what he's getting he needs to lead well. After Fogarty he would be the least experienced captain in the NRL.

I've been off him since he let his manager drag negotiations out in the media.
