That’s just my point. You don’t have to be a genius to understand this stuff, yet so many can’t think beyond ‘Player A is better than Player B therefore we should keep Player A’. There is zero concept for many of you that Player B might represent better value (for money) and therefore a better use of the cap across the whole squad.

Special investigation: The hidden contract clauses, options for every NRL player
From emerging NRL stars through to the biggest names in the game - MICHAEL CARAYANNIS reveals more than 50 players across multiple NRL clubs have hidden contract clauses which could rock the player market. How does it affect your team?

More than 50 players across 14 NRL clubs have hidden contract clauses which could rock the player market.
From emerging NRL stars through to the biggest names in the game, players at 14 of the 17 NRL teams could become available as early as this year as clubs navigate the balancing act between contract clauses and keeping rosters flexible.
Penrith is just one of three clubs who do not have an option in any of their playing contracts, with Canterbury and the Roosters the other clubs.

The Eels (seven) have the most of any club, while Melbourne and Canberra (six each) are next.

Sunday Sesh can also reveal that:
• Justin Olam had a get-out clause for 2026 if PNG were fast-tracked into the competition. He is now contracted to the Tigers for next year. Teammate Jarome Luai is committed to the Tigers for two years but can get out at the end of 2026.
• Ryan Matterson has already informed Parramatta that he will take up the final year of his contract for 2026. The Eels control Josh Addo-Carr’s future with the club needing to tell him by June if they want to retain him next year. Dylan Brown has two get-out clauses in his contract which expires at the end of 2031. He needs to tell the club if he wants to stay in 2026 and 2027 by round 10. The Eels remain locked in talks about extending Mitchell Moses’ contract and taking out his clauses in his deal.
• The Knights have until June 30 to work out the futures of veterans Dane Gagai and Tyson Frizell.
• Jaydn Su’A’s contract extension was announced as a two-year deal starting from this year. He does however have an option in his favour to remain at the Dragons in 2027. Jacob Liddle has a mutual option which means the Dragons can take it up at a certain amount and if they do not he can take it up at a lesser amount a week later.

Su’A is not alone when it comes to secret options. Ex-Wallaby turned Titan Carter Gordon has a mutual option on his services for next year, as does new Warriors recruit Tannah Boyd. The Titans announced Klese Haas had signed a three-year contract but the final season is an option in his favour.
• A host of Boyd’s Warriors teammates have mutual options including Chanel Harris-Tavita (for 2026) and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (2027). Tohu Harris also had an option in his contract announced his retirement on Thursday.
• The Raiders have until round six to let halfback Jamal Fogarty know if they want him for 2026. If they elect not to take up the 12-month extension, Fogarty can still remain at the club for a significantly less deal and he has until round 20 to let the Raiders know.
• Raiders centre Matt Timoko has an option in the final two years of his deal for 2027 and 2028. The Raiders will have until round 16 next year to take up the deal for 2027 and Timoko can take it by round 20. The final season is in Canberra’s favour for about $100,000 more than his 2027 contract value.
• Veterans David Klemmer and Christian Welch head towards 2026 with unique situations. Klemmer needs to play as many as 14 games in 2025 to be guaranteed another year at the Tigers while Welch needs to play at least 18 games to enact a clause in his deal for 2026 in Melbourne. The alternative is for Welch to win a State of Origin recall, which would also secure him another season.

Makes me proud to be a Parramatta supporter that we have started this trend in the game with clauses and options in player contracts.

The innovation is outstanding and now most the comp is starting to follow our lead.

Those losers out of Penrith need to get there act together when it comes to negotiating contracts and giving players more flexibility.

Not one clause or option there going to fall behind very quickly.

Most armchair critics think they are geniuses and have amazing “eye tests” of players and “feel for the game” but they are usually pulling their dicks.

Have always thought its a weird thing to try and brag about as well.

Remember when I said Morretti needs to be given a chance?
I come on here for a bit of footy talk and a laugh not an education lesson or to get serios. My life has enough merkins telling me I am wrong and what I should be doing.

Maybe Penrith don’t need to offer them?

Liam Martin ( a noted plodder) is a perfect example. His GF stats and his stats in general show an average forward yet he was best on ground.

Paul (stats padding) Gallen is Pou's dream player.


If he watched(checked the stats after the game) in the NBA he'd blow triple Ropers over LeBron.

There’s nothing stopping you doing both. If you only use the eye test you’ll be fooled by big plays, like a front rower taking a bomb. Or Bevan French scoring a cool try in a game where he only made one run.
