News Harawira-Naera reportedly released

[ATT]

Disappointed to see one of our best go. But not devastated, use the war chest go buy two of the hardest running biggest hitting meanest front rowers in the Comp. or England. Then a hooker. Use development with the rest. We will be great again.

Meh, the writing has been on the wall so not a massive surprise. This would've sat a lot better if the club dictated from that start once the decision was overturned that they didn't want him because of his attitude throughout the whole thing. At least then we come across as decisive despite the decision likely rubbing some supporters the wrong way. Instead, we back the NRL's initial decision then once it's overturned we grovel and ask if he still wants to play for us.

Different circumstances I know, but check how the Roosters handled the Latrell situation in the media when he wanted a release. Now that's how you control the narrative in the media and put the club first.

Managed poorly. He was never going to be deregistered forever, we had more then two years on a contract with him and the board /CEO should have managed this better. Especially if the plan was to keep him. Amateur hour

CHN the bitch

 

[Nasheed]

Family club my sweet brown arse.

dogs deserve this and you've just learnt a lesson in loyalty.

but fuck me dead you could have kept tabs on the guys welfare behind the scenes and explained to him 'it's just a process' and kept him warm. A savvy operator would have done this. Or lobbied to get him back. That's aside from the obvious of being outwardly critical of the punishment in the first place.

no one cares what CHN did. Fans don't care about this stuff. Sponsors perhaps but not fans. Let's be honest even if he was accused of orally raping the girl if it meant wins for us would the fans As a whole really care?
Saint George supporters can't wait to get De Balin back.

Seriously punishing players for indiscretions by clubs is becoming a joke and only benefits other clubs.

All player indiscretions should be handled directly by the NRL integrity unit to stop this bullshit happening again

Contracts don’t mean shit

We have a fkn war chest so let’s buy whoever the fk we want

 

[Nasheed]

What burns me is he wasn't even in that big a contract. 450 a year.

we could have got Ryan matterson last year but we had CHN

 

[LordSidious66]

Guy broke team protocol by bringing a teenage girl back to his hotel room, cost us a $2 million sponsorship in the process and acts like he did nothing wrong? Cya you sook. However if I was the club, I would have let him stay on and let him rot in reserves or only released if the Raiders were willing to swap a player for him.

 

[Family Guy]

Hopefully karma works its magic and Penrith will be dumb enough to release Burton early from his contract.
Matt, if you're reading this, which I'm sure you are, watch and learn from CHN. All you have to do is act like a little bitch, have a massive sook and then Penrith will let you go... and then welcome to the Doggies son

 

[Bluebarry]

Tbh not as bigger loss than previous players we've let go .
Most bulldog supporters mainly women and older folk would've been disgusted to see him running around in a blue and white jersey after such a grubby incident .
Legal or not from a married family guy such as this dickhead , particular he's grief towards the club and not himself for causing all the dramas to begin with .
Thanks raiders for making us look good every time he runs out in your colours , just keep him away from schools

All you need to do is approach players by proxy.

Imagine Chad Townsend is at Northued having a beer. A mysterious figure in a suit and too hat is in the corner, face obscured by the shadow of the hat. Townsend goes for a punt on the races. The man approaches, let's call him Nasheed. Nasheed asks chad if he's happy at the sharks and if he hypothetically would be happy with 700k from the dogs. If he says yes rinse and repeat with the manager.

I don’t think the NRL or the club anticipated CHN or Okunbor winning the appeal and the club didn’t have any intention of taking them back but they didn’t have a choice once they won the appeal. The club should have had a bet each way and made sure they had all bases covered if they did win the appeal.

 

[Shanked]

ah getting rimmed, has become the norm now

 

[Book]

Tough situation. Of course us as footy fans may not see it from this angle, but doing that sort of thing and especially on official duty with the club is pretty damning in terms of corporate sponsorship etc in this current environment.

I'm not sure about de-registration, but at the same time why were we supposed to coddle him and give him kisses in the off-chance a ban gets over-turned? Great use of hindsight there.

I think it's best for all parties to cut ties and get on with it.

I once learnt the hard way a valuable lesson.
If you start dating a bitch by taking her from her current boyfriend/husband, no matter how in love with you she is or how much she wants your dick, rest assured she will go out the same way she came in. Bitches leave relationships the same way they enter them.

same with players.

 

[Nasheed]

And if the board fucking Dean Pay in the arse An letting good players pass by our recruitment wasnt enough for you to lose faith in the Management, like myself, then you have all the reason too now.

 

[bulldogsmyte]

1 week offence according to your privileges you think you are entitled to

The brat is one of the major reasons we lost our major sponsorship for the next 2 years, along with derailing our season.

He has been let off way too lightly.

These brats in there early 20's are earning hundreds on thousands of dollars per year. CHN is probably on half a mill a year. How many years of schooling and being offsiders do the higher class (doctors, lawyers, bankers, etc) need to earn anything near that amount? What are the consequences for these people when they fuck up and bring their organisation into the lime light for the wrong reasons?

1 week in your demented head.

The privileged spoilt brat needs his next 2 and a half years of salary taken away from him and sent to do community service

These NRL guys are way over paid for the ROI they generate for the club. To answer your question about the higher class the only doctors that earn over 500k are specialists (surgeons, anesthetists, psychiatrists etc). It's a minimum 10 years at university (7 years med + 3 years post grad). Your family GP makes around 300k (7 years med). A very low % of med grads will become specialists as the numbers are controlled by the AMA.
Generally lawyers don't make 500k+ unless you are a QC, direct report to the CEO level at a big law firm or publicly listed company or a shady well known defence or compensation lawyer. I'll say less than 10%. Bankers are mainly Commerce grads. You'll either have to be an Investment Bank at Macquarie or a direct report to the CEO level. Low %. My former colleague was a Finance prize winner at UNSW Commerce (the most sought after Commerce degree in NSW) and it took her about 12 years work experience to get over 120k and she was performing in the top 1% in the department.

 

[no1bulldog]

i'd say Canberra spoke to him while he was deregistered and also sacked by the club therefore had no contract

The club is piss weak in letting him go, they should have at least made him stay this year out of principal or at a minimum played hardball with Canberra but like usual we get the pineapple

I’d hate to see how you’d react if we let go of Holland this way

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Barrett advised the club to let the sook go as he is bringing over this big fella

I highly doubt it, but really we haven't had a dominant left edge player since Frank Pritchard and this guy would fit the mould that's for sure.
