Not putting him in your back five might be fine if it was simply because you don't think he is ready.
Adding your little "chasing the dollars" comment leads people to infer you have it in for him.

Or the choices he's made so far, in concert with his manager.

Should those choices be beyond criticism? Is Blaize the new Bambi around here?

And what choices are you speaking of?
Has anything been announced regarding his future?
Was the PO that was offered to him before he had ever played FG something that he should accept now he has?

 

[the phantom menace]

And what choices are you speaking of?

Not triggering his player option, and allowing speculation about his future to drive up his price (rather than good faith negotiation with the club if he wants to stay).

Has anything been announced regarding his future?

That he is not triggering his player option - an unnecessary piece of information to be in the public domain.

Was the PO that was offered to him before he had ever played FG something that he should accept now he has?

As per answer to your first question. If not accepting (and he actually wants to stay) should be good faith negotiation, and the first we hear of it is that he is staying on (perhaps having signed an updated contract).

I feel like we've had this convo before... or maybe it's just the attempted gotcha style of questioning that is overly familiar? It's ok to have differing opinions about something on the internet without stressing out about convincing an individual of whether yours is right.

We obviously have differing opinions on what makes for good negotiations.

Fair enough. So I take it you're supportive of players and their managers negotiating through the media then?

 

[Suitman]

Oh dear.

 

[Eelogical]

there’s every possibility by March next year our back 5 will look like this

1 Blaize
2 Lomax
3 Guth
4 Penis
5 Russell ( or Simmo )

Not feeling it. Gives me a soft on.

 

[emjaycee]

Yeah, because that's what I said.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Yeah, because that's what I said.

Don’t worry mate, it’s just the attempted gotcha style of questioning that is overly familiar…

 

[the phantom menace]

Yeah, because that's what I said.

Well what are you saying...? Other than just asking questions of people who have given an opinion of substance.

 

[emjaycee]

Your opinion of substance was that Blaize was "chasing the dollars". Yet I felt your substance was a little bit lacking, hence my questions.

 

[the phantom menace]

Your opinion of substance was that Blaize was "chasing the dollars". Yet I felt your substance was a little bit lacking, hence my questions.

And you received answers to your questions. And yet then didn't give any answers to questions asked of your own (insubstantially stated) position.

The meta commentary around what has already been said - rather than you confirming your opinion of what makes for good contract negotiations other than Blaize's through the media) actually is - is mind boggling.

I just don't see Guth at Centre. If fit he should remain at fullback. Non-seasonal Blaize can't interchange position during attacking raids.
I'd rather Sivo or Simmo over Russel. I don't rate him

Why shouldn't he chase then but? Simmonson probably cost himself 75k a year by his latest injury.

 

[the phantom menace]

No.

See above.

Thanks. That's probably better than you asking pointless gotcha questions, no? Definitely more succinct...

For mine, Lomax is the classiest back so let him pick his spot and build the backline around him.

Initially center and eventually move to take Gutho's spot at FB when Guth retires.

Surely he is a priority over Blaize at this stage of both their careers.

Bartman having an agenda ? lol

We can all see now with the Galvan release that it's more than likely the manager pushing the agenda's.
