Thats basically what im saying with the transfer fee. Except the whole 200k is to us, not Morris, why should get more money out of this?

Because I like Morris and he deserves more money. Simple.

You're much nicer than I am then.

His gain from this is going to number 1 team with his brother, that should be enough.

You don't think his performance and work ethic warrants an upgraded contract?

???

I dont really care, he signed the contract, his career is about over, he was lucky to get our contract to extend his a career a little longer. Deal with it.

I certainly wouldn't begrudge seeing Josh getting an extra $100-150k for his final season(s), here or elsewhere.

The ****ing roosters! There is no other club that acts like that. It’s as if the whole league is permanently off contract when it comes to them. You got a pre season injury to a good player, and had another one go off the rails FFS! Suck it up. Welcome to how the rest of the comp lives. Work with what you have! Play a comp not at full strength! **** me.

It’s as if every contract has a clause at the bottom, “...unless the chooks are interested”.

Glad you're not managing the cap mate.

If I were I'd be thinking about it pretty differently, I'm sure. But I'd like to see this kind of good guys and player get a 'play a few holes with Uncle Nick' style bonus before he hangs up the boots. There's too many ********s rolling in big contract cash imho.

I’m so sick of clubs being allowed to approach under contract players illegally through their agents. I even hate it when we do it. But how can you stop it? God I hate player agents, cancers of the game.

As for Morris. Don’t give him up for free. Get the Chooks to send a winger or a forward in return. They’re arrogant enough to be this brazen, don’t let them get off scot free for it. Get someone back or tell them to **** off and tell Morris to play out the year.

Not overly thrilled about going into next year with Mulitalo and Katoa as our first choice wingers though. Mulitalo’s fine but Katoa still has some holes in his game he needs to fix.

I have zero confidence in Katoa ever being a good NRL winger.
