When was the last time a transfer fee was paid from one NRL club to another?Yes but this is the part you don’t understand. We could have got a transfer fee if we didn’t get a player swap but instead we got zilch . There is no benefit releasing him to the raiders this year .
He should have been made to stay until the end of the year and then he can fuck off . Or at least until we secured a replacement from another team
But now they get a quality player and we get nothing .
We'll said, freeing up cap space is the only benefit.When was the last time a transfer fee was paid from one NRL club to another?
If we didn't release him then we pay a player $400K - $500K to do nothing and sit on his arse. He would be the best paid dole bludger in the country. He got release before his next payment is due so that is cash that we saved.
The benefit is we now have more free space on our cap and we have only decreased the warchest by $200K after signing Cotric.
I don't actually remember that, but surely that is the exception and not the rule, right?We'll said, freeing up cap space is the only benefit.
Some years ago Steve Turner signed with the Titans before back flipping to stay at the Storm Storm sent two players to Titans as part of the deal. I was hoping we'd get a player based on that.
Yes we free up cap space for this year but not much. The season is half way over. As I said I was happy to see him go at the end of the year because then we could find a replacement.When was the last time a transfer fee was paid from one NRL club to another?

Definitely the exception, from memory Titans played hardball and held out for these players, I can't remember who they were.I don't actually remember that, but surely that is the exception and not the rule, right?
Were those 2 players asking for a release? and did the Storm do it to free up cap space for someone else?
Cap space is the be all these days. All clubs are willing to pay part salary to players to leave their club and go somewhere else just to free up cap space.
Now we have extra cash to get someone in who wants to play for us and willing to contribute not bitch and cause trouble. Can't wait for him to play in that cold down there.
Fucking Hoops with the violins out for CHN still trying to make out CHN was hard done by and gaslighting for him. Where's this so called apology by CHN Hoops, ya flog. Us fans are still waiting...
Look what’s done is done but the U turning done by the media hasn’t helped the club in the slightest. This wasn’t CHN’s first offence and by his exit from the Panthers He’s not that well behaved. I’m glad he’s gone as our club doesn’t need any more negative attention.Personally of course not but you are running a multi million dollar business.
After all the moral outrage and people jumping up and down, we are back to the situation of legally having to acceot the players back into the game, and pay them their outstanding money and lose the player least morally negligent of the two.
The decisions should have been based on legal facts. Everyone , and especially players with ruthless managers losing their cash cows, would have fought being locked out from losing your income.
CHN's "crime" was breaking team rules in taking a female back to his room, and 2nd known offence from what we are lead to believe. It should have been dealt with as only that and publicly treated differently by the club and NRL for legal HR reasons if nothing else.
He does not seem sorry about the scandal so its best for him to move on for our club's sake.
Unfortunately the morally worst offender remains. No one seems as outraged now because he says he is sorry.
The damage has been done though.
I'm just saying the club need to get on the front foot quicker and think about ALL the side issues and repercussions. Some PR training seems like a good idea.
I've been living near Canberra for 11 years now and still hate the winters down here.If he wants a release then good riddance, not like we we're winning games off the back of him.
Hope he enjoys the freezing cold winters
Yes but that is not a sackable offence, nor should he of been deregistered by the nrlStill broke the code of conduct by bringing her back to his room in the team hotel.
Not the first time.
haha, so true!You’re being awfully generous real1
2 good months
More like two good games
Roosters tigers cowboys shellackings weren’t good games
Isnt the $3M AFTER we sign all our unsigned players?Just to be clear, we had already counted the salaries of CHN and Okky (as not payable next year) as part of the reported $3m war chest. So we've already kept Okky $185k and bought Thompson $650k and Cotric $650k so that leaves circa $1.5m left. THATS IT!!! Spend wisely!!!
Do we keep Elliott, Foran, Holland, Lafai, Montoya, Tolman others??
So much for the war chest.
Any breach of contractual obligations is potentially a sackable offence....especially if it isn't the first one. I won't miss the prick and at the end of the day, it's better he isn't at the club.....but it's sickening that he actually benefits from his poor behaviour and this club has to stop sending the message to players that is they aren't happy at the club, they can throw a tantrum and get a better deal elsewhere. This fuck wit is going to play finals this year after bailing on his teammates and that is not right.Yes but that is not a sackable offence, nor should he of been deregistered by the nrl
Hahaha yeah I won't be following with too much passion, but I'd much rather see the panthers win it than see CHN celebrate a premiership, Des win one after what he did to us, Klemmer win a premiership, or the roosters three peat.You'll be cheering on the Panthers? Dude. I haven't even checked on the final series since the last time we won it. Honestly can't even tell you who won last year. All I know is that we weren't in the finals, and that's it.
Agree about the club letting him go but imagine that they're probably caught between a rock and a hard place. Personally would've made him rot in ... well ... not reserves as we don't have that but somewhere where he can't have any impact on the team ... not that this is possible.
Reality is that keeping him, being the c*** that he is, would've destroyed the playing group even more.
Horsborough is a decent player but is a grub. Will spend more time suspended then he will play not worth the risk IMHOIf the club was after a player swap with the Raiders and the Raiders rejected it based on their injury toll, why didn't we say no worries, give us one if your injured players for next year. They have a few younger good middle forwards like Guler and Horsborough who would add to our squad.
He fucking cries on field tooHorsborough is a decent player but is a grub. Will spend more time suspended then he will play not worth the risk IMHO
