Rumours and Stuff

Here’s a thought

When all these Orr and MON inspired shenanigans are finalised, would be a good idea for the club to actually provide an explanation of what advantages to the club these options were, and why they were agreed to. We are a fan based sporting club so why not .

Here's a hypothetical for you Delboy. Just with respect to Moses' PO.

Rewind to early 2023, and you are negotiating back and forth with him regarding extending his contract. You would like to sign him til the end of 2028. He doesn't want to commit for that long at a fixed price. So his manager says 'we'll either sign to the end of 2026 for $X, or we'll sign til 2028, with a player option for 2027 and 2028 for $X - 10%. That option has to be exercised on October 31 2025'. What do you do?

Did we save 10% on moses, brown, penisini, matterson and talagi?

How much is 10% of talagis contract?? 10k?

Sounds like a job for our resident expert from Perth.

Hence , would be interesting tohave an explanation of the option from the club, guesses, arguments Pousplanations and no one knows or understands the position the club took.

Still not sure why they were announced as the players committing to the club for 5 and 7 years when they both have options to go to market and move away in 2/3 years.

It may well be that Dylbro will stay after the support he and his family received over the past 9 years.

Can we now at least all agree that what Brown and his management are doing is a f**king circus. Enough of the but ‘I don’t see he is doing anything wrong’ bullshit.

The guy is a f**king one trick pony and a clown. I’ll be celebrating if he leaves. Seriously just f**k off already. And the Orr clan can get f**ked too. Not you @Gronk you are fine this time. I don’t even remember where you stood with him. I know Suity deep throated him a few times.

That's not true.
I would like him to stay, but if he goes, I won't lose any sleep over it.

Brown is doing what the PO allows him to do...

That's why the club is moving away from them
The corollary of that statement, is that Brown is doing exactly what the R&R decision makers allows him to do, hence my question Why?

The Moses group manage Mitch, PSM as the Orr brothers manage Dylbro , so someone got bent over by the Orrs.

Thank f**k we have an adult at the club and we are moving on from PO’s and won’t be beholden to greedy managers.
