Phil Gould says roster clean out coming to clean salary cap

[Craystar]

Elliott just got himself fired.

Cotric is a must to get rid of

If Corey Allen is on anything over 250k - get rid of him

Add Hetherington and Waddell to that list as well

 

[KLil]

Class and leadership don't belong in the same sentence as Sleaze Pearce. Someone who tries to fuck a dog isn't my definition of classy.

Plus Jessie Bromwich got kicked out of Kiwi camp for snorting coke..

Ease up mate... They are still immensely accomplished experienced footballers who could provide priceless knowledge on and off the field.

 

[Birddog]

Bought shit load of fringe players with that treasure

You mean the fringe players that are being paid overs ?

I don't want someone like Pearce imparting his knowledge off the field to the rest of the squad. The guy is still a loose cannon and can't handle his drink. We need to stop signing players like that otherwise nothing will ever change.

I'm not having a go at you. I just can't stand Pearce, think he's massively overrated and would hate to see more Elliott like headlines from him.

If this is how Gus handled Michael Jennings turning up to training with alcohol in his system, you’d have to think Elliot is in a little strife:

“It seems like a lifetime ago that Phil Gould also dropped Jennings to NSW Cup in 2011 for turning up to training with alcohol in his system.

As part of his punishment, Gould also made Jennings do the walk of shame around Penrith Stadium before a game handing out 2000 free tickets valued at roughly $40,000 - a year later Jennings was gone!.”

- Carnage os set to unfold with their roster
- there trying to hide the luke thompson rumour bye dening it
- some of the names mentioned that are leaving are cotric allen josh jackson elliot thompson and more
- roster cleanout

I would listen again if I was you. He did not say Jackson was going. He said Thommo staying but that could change. He did not say Cotric etc are leaving.

Reports actually said we have NO players on minimum wage. By my calculations that is about 25 players short of who should be

I find that hard to believe. Why would we pay someone like Dietz for example more than minimum wage when he was on a train and trial deal. Topine is another example.

Not a dig at you mate, I just don't buy what they are saying.

 

[Freakzilla]

That rule needs to be changed, it ridiculous that the NRL forces clubs to spend 95% of their cap. They've basically forced the lesser teams into paying overs for shitter players and helped anchor them to the bottom of the ladder and then you have that fuckwit saying clubs should manage their rosters better LOL.

You can just sign players to 1 year contracts instead of giving them 3 year contracts.

No one signs 1 years contracts, only players that no one wants (Dufty). They will just head overseas or sign with a better club on a reduced wage.

If we have 500k left that we MUST spend then a player like Corey Allan would accept it.

It's much better to front load (can even help with future contract extensions topping players up) other players in the roster then lock yourself in with Allan for 3 years.

True, but that just opens up other issues. They should just scrap the rule, the only reason it was brought in was because the Roosters abused it in the past.

Im with you on Pearce, I dont like the idea but i think we have come to the point of realization that there is nobody else in regards to an experienced NRL standard half.

Our only other two options are Gus pulling an astute halves signing out of his arse or we run with the young halves at the club...

Its a shit position to be in...

 

[jasonsmith11]

elliott came into season super jacked up and did fuck all piss him off to london broncos or sum shit

 

[TalDog]

Elliott getting the sack and is not having to chip in will take huge pressure off

Also need to take into consideration the welfare of our mascots

How could i forget about Brutus and Bella.. lol..

 

[Shanked]

We are not in a position where we have to offload players like back in 2018.

The problem is that the cap is tied up in the wrong positions. Jacko, Thompson, Elliott , etc .

Also fringe players on too much money. Reports actually said we have NO players on minimum wage. By my calculations that is about 25 players short of who should be

ah ok

All good mate. Just what was reported.

Maybe it was the original top 25 or 26 that we named at the start of the year. Guys like Deitz got promoted after that.

I would think Gus would apply for NDIS support for some of the players still on contract next year. Hopefully that will come off the cap

 

[belmore_utd]

Why not? Their army trains like our players.

Yeh like a Taliban suicide bomber instructor "listen up and pay attention' I'm only going to show you this once"
