Just a note Leeds lost again last night! Good!

So what's the record now?
How long before the Leeds equivalent start the poll whether they want to keep the coach...fraud.. oh I might upset someone by saying that

You can call him a fraud look at the legacy he left at the club...

But we participate in the same player market

But not with the same advantages. You can't honestly pretend it's a level playing field when the same clubs are near the top every year.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How does a MUTUAL OPTION work in a players contract.
I beleive LANE and SIVO have them for 2026. Does it mean we can say no and contract is finished?

It means either the club or player can decide to continue the contract, for whatever value is agreed in the option.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I just finished a meeting with the small council and they explained how it works.

Sivo for example has a MO for 2026.

If he takes it the value maybe 350k
If Parra take it the value could be 550k

Either party can exercise the option.

ffs

Trey Mooney
Another one we let get away

A massive 12 tackles and 42 metres today. It's up there with Dan Keir's contribution on Friday.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And he was captain of SG Ball or Flegg when that happened..

We should've given him whatever he was asking for ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yes we do. If we had the right people in the retain and retention side of things we could sign quality players that other sides end up signing. So yeah if you're worth your paycheque as HOF then you can influence the quality of players other clubs put together.

We sign some of them, e.g. Lomax. It's not a secret who the good players are ffs. The problem is some clubs get them cheaper (under the cap) than everyone else, which means they can fit more quality players under the cap. It's the accounting that separates the top clubs from the rest, not talent identification. The 'right people' have ways of getting players to agree to cheaper deals (under the cap anyway).

Of course not, the best teams find competitive advantage within or close to wat the rules allow.

I just wanna talk about how we can get to the level of say a Melbourne or Penrith.

I saw a podcast where Billy slater said Melbourne were his only offer. Player indenification and retention is everything. Penrith have built their roster on it, Melbourne has, Manly in the naughties. The only club that can consistently sign stars on unders are the roosters

Stop being melodramatic

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And Wilson was happy to resign as a backup.. apparently no one does that.

Is he any good? Almost 24 and only played 22 NRL games. Ten tries scored. Russell just turned 22 and has 37 games with 17 tries.

Leeds were up 16-6. Had a penalty in front of the posts and went for the try instead.
Ended up losing the game 22-16

You watch his presser.

Effort was there but played dumb.

I swear I heard the same shit 120 times at Parramatta.
