Stefs a good player, I mean he played origin with us, just lacks a bit of heart. Bellamy might get him there.

Papalli clearly never wanted to come. He’s only as good as the half passing him the ball. At parra he had brown and Moses, then went to a combo of Brooks/Wakeham and Sullivan lol. He’ll go back his best form at Penrith.


This is what annoys me Just because the Tigers are shit doesn't mean players should expect to be paid more to come to them...

Sullivan on 700k wtf is that shit..

It did not stop the Tigers coming last in 2024....

Maybe Richo gets that and is cleaning up the dumb overpriced contracts..

Like Batman why was he signed ffs

Thought we were talking about restraint of trade....remind me again how the News v Souffs case was a defining moment in restraint of trade in the NRL?
Have you read any of the cases? The very fact there were 3 cases seeking to define the Trade Practices Act, but perhaps you fail to see them as defining because:
Careful you will upset @84 Baby who has a very particular POV regarding restraint of trade that doesnt align with Australian Law and he gets upset and is prone to deflect.
Yet the High Court agrees with me? You’re the one who seems to think the second there’s a hint of restraint of trade that it’s illegal, but as I said there were interesting legal arguments both ways.

Serious question, why would they come to the Tigers if they arent paid more? because they like the colours?

In Richo we trust. He is taking out the trash, I think all will make sense in the next couple of months ;-)

And of course all that matters is where we all are in October.

Mate....ive read both cases and the references. The Federal case made the judgement based on RoT (in part) and the High Court ruled that its bullshit. Not sure what else there is to say

Yeah… precisely…. Which means you agree with me? And drawing from there, just because provisions in a players contract would be a restraint of trade, does not mean that restraint isn’t likewise allowable.

Careful, until a week ago you said that the Tigers weren’t dumb enough to have any contracts with player options. Why do you keep tempting fate?
Because your resident oracle convinced me it is great negotiating protocol (and lets face it how else do we get Luai to sign for 5 years?)
