I've heard reports of $400000, so a far chunk of Macguire's salary for next year.

I don’t quite get that. Who pays the $400k? Penrith? Ridiculously costly excercise for them if so, they’d be paying out Griffin plus Cleary’s salary for next year plus the $400k to Tigers.

Once Tigers had signed up Maguire for next year everyone just moves on without a Cleary payout to the tigers I would have thought.

The reports are that the Tigers are only paying 30% of Madge's contract for next year after the compensation is factored in.

Playing constantly bad football that would never threaten the top sides

That’s subjective. Objectively he had them running fourth. If he had a clause that said his performance wasn’t good enough at that level, by god I have massive fears for Ivan the Terrible.

Which reports?

So that would mean next year Penrith are paying for Griffin, Cleary and 70% of Maguire. Hard to believe they’d be THAT stupid.

So like most here except one-eyed panthers fans, I hope Penrith - more so Ivan Cleary - crash and burn for the next 5 years. Not a tigers fan, but a leader doesn’t go about shit the way he has.

Should never make a professional decision based on emotion. It more often than not ends up being a wrong decision.

I suppose Penrith have a shitload of gambling addicts slotting coins and notes into pokies to be able to pay for it.

Did the clubs and nrl ever agree to the football cap? Surely that will put an end to this nonsense when it comes in?

No its not subjective his record against top 4 opponents is woeful. i didn't want Ivan back but Hook getting the arse is a massive positive and the players agree, No one liked the arrogant merkin

Penrith have not given money to the tigers. Even the Tigers CEO just said things have worked out for them. Panthers were signing Ivan for 2021 and the Tigers released him for Madge so no need for a payment either.

This is almost correct.

Penrith are obliged to recompense any difference in two contracts. So if IC was being paid 700k and the reports Penrith have paid 400k then the Tigers are paying massive overs! Bennett is on $1m apparently. No way Madge is worth more than that imo.

I don't think Broncos, Panther, and lol@souffs will all win a comp over the next three years.

Broncos to go the closet

Will be good fun watching Gus and Crowe roll out the excuses.

So are you saying Seibold has a don't ask, don't tell policy with his players??
