These are all examples of the club trying to get value from low demand players. We certainly weren't going to get any value from the kinds of players the Tigers have been recruiting in recent years. As for Lomax and JAC, I reckon they are on huge money. There would be plenty of clubs interested in JAC and the fact he agreed to a club option in his contract means we are paying extra for it.
We wouldn't know.
If the club isn't offering them anymore it's because of the bad press surrounding them. They might also still be offering them but not reporting them in the signing announcements, for the same reason (media hysteria). As an example, Joseph Tapine has a PO for 2028, according to nrl.com, however there was no mention of it in his signing announcement: https://www.raiders.com.au/news/2022/09/26/joseph-tapine-re-signs-with-the-raiders/
It's a fact that we have a CO for JAC. The analysis is that he exchanged it for money. He didn't need to agree to it. There are plenty of clubs that need experienced, fast outside backs.
Do you honestly think I have access to the amounts players are being paid in their contracts... wow, thanks but my reach isn't anywhere near that far.
A Cesspit i wouldn't bother.
It's pretty good here. If you don't like merkins disagreeing with you, maybe try journalling.
I've stopped being harassed, thanks for your concern. If I ever aggressively single you out, I'm sure it'll be stomped eventually.
True, but we don't know the monetary value and never will. We will only see the PO. Therefore it's stupid to assume we gave it away for free or all our players would have them.
