Adam Elliot Injury - Out for the season

[Jarrad El Hickey]

I hope you took it with a grain of salt. Unless you heard it from Mrs Elliott or his manager, it's likely just rumours. He'll either extend his contract with us or sign with another club. I don't concern myself with what players are supposedly getting paid.

Source is extremely reliable.

Within reason

Nope period. You don’t overpay. There’s a reason why the top clubs are contending they haven’t and don’t overpay.

We have to overpay to bring players to the club. Ideally you want to re-sign players you already have for value (sometimes you need to meet half way with a rival's offer). From all reports Elliott has been low balled tho (at least imo from the figures coming out). Elliott's still our best forward (Thompson is yet to show he's better, he's very solid, I think he's about to explode thp) I don't want to see him at another club next year personally.

See being our best forward is hardly a glowing endorsement you know. I disagree anyway there’s better forwards we have.

Adam is on less than 200k this year, i know that as fact. Im not sure what he may have earned previous years. Players salaries are grossly inflated by the media

 

[B-Train]

Elliott deserves to get paid by someone but I'm glad the club isn't trying to get into a bidding war for him. I'd rather they spent the 500k or so he's looking for on someone else.

Elliott is overrated let him go to the raiders

Well we lett jt leave for a club paying “overs” at the time and the cows let poinga go as well so your theory aint totally correct,some players you do pay overs to land

Agree, but Elliot as much as I like him is not one of those players, elliot wants to stay wouldn’t need to upgrade his deal too much to secure him

 

[cookieman909]

Just been told the dogs have offered Elliot less than his current contract. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me, considering he’s twice the player he was when he signed the current contract and even then he took a lesser deal to help the club.

That would be fair to be honest for mine. He signed for overs his last contract. I know that for a fact. When you look at his record off the field. The club stood by him after the furore of Mad Monday. And the recent video of him. For mine he’s an average footballer. He will never progress to origin. If he wants to chase the money, you can’t blame him if he leaves. I’m not fussed if we lose him.

 

[BDPScarface]

I like Adam Elliot, and he's a tryer... but he's akin to Josh Reynolds... you can't fault his effort... but somehow whatever he, and Adam Elliot try, they are mostly miss rather than hit.

I'd like to keep him, but if he goes, it might be a blessing in disguise.

Neither deals were overs. Ponga’s deal especially was just about right for a fullback.

how much to keep him ?

Yeah you dont break the bank for Elliot.

He easily replaceable.

Ponga @ 600k was WAY overs at the time

For a fullback it’s not it’s about par. You are picked to play fullback you are getting north of 500k

Meaney isnt on that. Ponga was paid overs based on potential to lure him to Newcastle.

So we're going to offer Albert Hoppa 500k+?!

Yes, he is a fullback

At the time they were both overs in hindsight you can say its not but at the time they both were otherwise they would still be at both clubs
