Rumours and Stuff

Reckon Drown is as good as gone...

Little birds?

Next five? We will experience this every time we have players off contract, which is forever. You’ve got a short memory if you think this didn’t happen before the media found out about player options. It’s always been a circus, but now the media wants you to blame the club for it.

The difference is if wasn't a PO we could right now go ok no offers just f**k off and look elsewhere as of last season. I stead we wait like a desperate merkin to see what he decides
He has all the power which isn't what you want.
I'd have a look at Jack Cole.

That’s because you’re looking at it from the perspective of a pissy, vindictive fan who has been shit stirred by the rugby league media. You want him to f**k off. The club doesn’t. That’s why the PO isn’t a problem for the club. They all love him and want him to stay. It’s why they gave him the options in the first place. Or do you still think coaches do all the contract negotiations even after Ryles admitted he has little to do with it?

The circus isn’t having players off contract… it’s having no leverage in the process and an inability to plan. As it stands we don’t know what our roster will look like in 2026 with D Brown , and this time next year we won’t know what it will look like with Moses for 2028. If they both take up their options to stay , as it stands , the merry go round comes around again not long after. We can’t go out and find replacements because they’re under contract. If you don’t think that’s a circus I don’t know what to tell you.

And the circus will continue next off season with Moses, then in the 2027 offseason if Moses activates the PO, then again in the 2028 offseason If Dylan activates the PO.

Why do you think the club is desperately trying to renegotiate these contracts? Why haven't we offered a other PO in the last few signings?

This has been spoken about ad nauseam but we got people telling us it has something to do with insurance... and that the club knows what's it doing... these guys haven't won anything going on 40 years. They're lucky theyre a sports organisation cause if they were a real business. They would have been done for a long time ago.

Then why have they been trying to re-negotiate the Moses and Drown contracts to have the PO's removed??
