Rumours and Stuff

[Incorrect]

They are options to stay, not to leave.

For all intents and purposes there's no discernible difference from the clubs perspective. Actually, at worst, the option to stay having a deadline of Round 10 has us over a barrel and unable to have any certainty about future roster mgmt.

Am I DoiNG ThiS RigHt DeaDSHit??

Funnily enough I was just pulling away from home with my van attached when you posted this and you made me stop and check I had secured it.

Checkin the forum in one hand while you towing a van with the other. The ‘M’ obviously stands for Multitasker

The 'M' is for McGyver MOFO.

Tauamalolo didn’t have any options in his contract that was of similar length.

I bet the Cowboys are regretting that one. He's fallen off a cliff since 2020.

Buzz can get a dog up him. @buzzrothfield f**k of.

Lol Buzz seriously

The turd that keeps on giving at news corp.

No there isn't, but he has been here for two years since he last extended. He is entitled to test the market, and both player and club agreed at the time that he would be. And if he was happy with his PO then we were too. If he wasn't happy with the PO, we were free to offer an upgrade or we could let him walk. We didn't expect any of that would change after only two years, and it hasn't changed.

We gave Moses until round 10 last time (he was announced after round 11), despite there being no PO. We didn't have any certainty about future roster management back then either. The fact is it was our club who agreed to the round ten deadline, and we did it for a reason. We have already accepted these risks that DeaDSHit fans and journos have only just worked out. In exchange for taking these risks and giving Drown the PO to fall back on, he would've given us something in return. That something was him selling himself short financially, which he appears to believe is what happened.

At least he got to the cliff.

At least he got to the cliff.

So did Paulo.

 

[chiefy1]

Yep shit deal once again if we had given him the November deadline like most players have we may have been able to keep Blaize.
Had time to sign someone else for 2026.
PO are shit and I am sure we won't be doing them again.

Blaze lol. One of the slowest backs in the history of sports. Haha

Blaze is good in small compartments, but he couldn't chase down shaun lane.

Surely a euphemism

I think he was pulling something else. Hence the phone in hand
You're a terrible liar @emjaycee

Seriously I was driving my caravan to the Central Coast.
Please don't think of me as a liar @hindy111, I really need your validation.

For all his faults, Shaun Lane is actually pretty quick.

This whole charade from Dylan & his management is coming off great if you want to look like a selfish f**kwit.

Yep. The idea he has to go to market is false.
Matto and Lane didn't bother. Obviously on way overs and knew nothing else better would get close.
Dylans manager would know if he can get much extra. The fact he is on 900k rumoured is going to limit how much more he can get. I doubt more then 100k.
Plenty of people happy at their jobs aren't leaving if paid well and love it. I get the impression perhaps he isn't that happy at the club but I also think he will stay based on no offers much better.

I understand that Matto went to market briefly and got no interest based on his concussion history, so he took up the option to secure himself for 2 more years. Lane has a career planned for beyond footy and always seems to be a little bit laid back so no surprise he took the option as it keeps him settled where he is.
Drown has less after football options available to him and despite what posters on LU think about him, he is talked up pretty high in the football world and barring injury, is the current Kiwi five-eighth. Makes perfect sense that his manager would test the market each and every time his contract comes up.

Also not sure how you get the impression he isn't happy at Parra. Has never said anything other than how much he loves the club and the area and has never personally given any indication that he wants to leave - his manager just wants to make sure he is paid what the market thinks he is worth and is doing his job (and trying to increase his commission).

The media are sensationalising everything because (1) it's Parramatta, (2) it's a boring off-season and (3) it's Parramatta. Don't buy into their crap mate, you are better than that.

Poor Little Dyl is upset Papa Bea got the arse and he finally has a coach with the balls to challenge him, so sad oh diddums.

He’s coming off looking like a dopey selfish clown, he owes the club and fan base after he helped torpedo the 2023 season with his selfish antics. Instead of being punished he was rewarded with the captaincy by SuperCoach. We finally have an adult in charge and he’s not happy, then he can f**k off to Leeds then.
