Rumours and Stuff

[King-Gutho94]

$300-400k on the cap and $800k TPA.
TPA to come from an establishment in the Eastern Suburbs...

The Golden Sheaf in Double Bay

 

[King-Gutho94]

Well he does manage Baldie.

He is a genius got the man 6 x contract extensions and a job in Leeds

 

[Pazza]

Chooks will go 800k on the cap and then have about 300-400k off the cap with TPAs.

Its all sorted Dylan and his team tell the media he left for less money and was a business decision.

I can see it very likely being massaged this way.

I actually think dylans probably too small time for the Roosters.

There's most likely some superstar rookie we haven't heard of yet playing at the broncos/souths

 

[JokerEel]

I thought TCT mentioned him a few podcasts ago confident he was coming.

Miks says sharkies

His mgmt has responded with the following

In the following hours, Orr hit out at clubs after his original email was leaked to this masthead.

“I am disappointed that my actual email to CEO’s/head of football/ NRL coaches/recruitment managers has been leaked within minutes to the media,” Orr wrote.

yeah, cuz agents never leak shit to the media, f**king lols

Hearing some of the feedback on Ryles and his style, I reckon he is already pulling Brown to the side to say “this is not the best look pre season mate” to which Brown will naturally act totally surprised.

If Ryles wants him that bad I have no doubt Brown will stay following some love.

If Ryles thinks he’s a dickhead he’s possibly already punched the living shit out of him and I expect him to be dumped out the front of Westmead hospital following a “random” attack from some assailants that apparently no one got a good look at.

Like he has basically put the club over the barrel which in a way was its own stupid fault by offering a dozen POs and easy exit strategies..

It was a three year contract (2023 to 2025). What's stupid about that? The option years were for an amount we were comfortable with and they got him over the line at the end of 2022, where we would've had to pay more money instead. If he's not happy with the values in his option years that's his problem. If he wants more we can decide whether or not he's worth it. If not he can go somewhere else. That's how win-win works.

 

[Twizzle]

I'm not sure why the big deal here,

Dylbro has an option for 26 in accordance with his PO, what else did we expect his agent to do ?

I cant see anyone offering him more money than we have, but if he doesn't want to be here, then see ya Dylbro

 

[84 Baby]

He's either lying or incredibly naive.

I’d say the first one. Even to extent it was probably him who leaked email in first place. It’s 100% a tactic to have Eels fans jump up and down/media write a bazillion articles about how options are killing us in order to put pressure on club to accelerate renegotiations

It was a 2 year extension merkin

 

[Incorrect]

That's how win-win works

Parra haven't had a win-win deal in 40+ years...

 

[hindy111]

I'd be happy to tell Dylan to f**k off.
Unfortunately this 10yr contract means we lost Blaize and Sanders. It also means for the next 7yrs we can't plan on what to do at 5/8 untill we know his plans....

In 2022 I pointed out how all these POs and 4yr deal would bite us on arse. But I am just a f**king idiot...

The timing is not the best. Maybe there are things going on in the background that we're not privy to. In my opinion, Dylbags is that player who always looks the goods but never quite realises his so called potential. In any case, this will play out no later than round 10. If he goes, it only provides an opportunity for someone else.

I don't feel like him and Walker would combine that well. Neither are great long kickers.
Also unsure how high they rate the young kid who filled in last year. I thought he was highly rated long term.

You must be the Eel Whisperer.

The outcome should be, if Drown moves then the HOF should be moved on quickly, these decisions on contracts that put theclub in an unenviable position are a result of giving ground to player managers, we’ve seen enough of that in that past 5 years.

Time for the HOF and his offsider to put big boy pants on and get this under control, see how it pans out.

Drown has a year to run after extending his contract two years ago. There is nothing unusual about it other than the options to stay which apparently aren't rich enough to get him to activate them. So it's essentially a three year contract with further player options to stay for unders. Zero cost to the club if true. Without the options he would still be testing the market right now.

I don’t think they rate him that highly. They bought Chad Townsend.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You’d have to think if he did leave then it’d be for other reasons than pay.

I reckon player option years would all be for the lower end of the player's anticipated market value. Otherwise they wouldn't be options at all.

 

[TheCrowe]

Very bad business. But he is on close to 1 mill. Who would offer more then that??

The Rooters. Off the cap of course. I think Dyl sees himself as a Rooter.

 

[Soto]

Ok so his mgr could've sent this email on 1 November...so why now? Had Ryles told him you can look around champ...u ain't worth that much
