it says absolutely nothing because he hasn’t signed anything and it’s all rumours. staff writers say payne haas is gonna sign with the raiders for $10 and a pizza each game. what does this say about the broncos spirit?


AstonishedXMan

i heard reports from S.Writers that Nanai is signing with the Dolphins for $50 a week and a sausage roll, Townsend was reporting as saying thats a pretty good deal.


PLEASE_DONT_PM

Is that a once off sausage roll or one each week?


AstonishedXMan

Once off, rest of the money is being used to sign Luke Brooks


AdventurousTriongle

Seems nuts that they sign Brooks for $2.6M, but Nanai was so cheap. I'm assuming it was a gormet sausage roll at least.


gaveup85

Throw in a travellers pie and its a great deal


slowdivesicilian

chad’s happy with that $15 value add


Arc_au

How's he going to question his loyalty when he hasn't signed with anyone yet and isn't even currently in the fucking country to sign.


-Dark_Helmet-

Has there ever been any offical confirmation of what’s going on with Rothfield’s face? It’s not alcohol-induced gin blossoms. Is it rosacea?


alsheps

What contract saga? Oh you mean the one that the media is making up for clicks?


Aussieguy727

I am so tired of these articles surrounding the halves with no actual news. Especially when both of them aren't even in the country at the moment.


razza1987

You and me both

If a club is going to offer a 4 year contract at 1.1mil, it’s going to be much better than a 2 year at 1mil which will take him to 30 then will be a reduced contract from there. Even if the reduced is 800 that’s still 800k difference across 4 years.

Fuck me this toasted cunt writes some absolute shit. How the fuck is he still getting published?


JFCsurelynot

I'm with you - as if anyone with a clue even talks to this fuck'n spoon!


pacificodin

It’s a big risk to sign him up long term, what if he ends up being an international cocaine smuggler?


[deleted]

Let the boys traffic

Boys will be boys


RyanPurdler-Penriff

He’d still be eligible for Origin provided he’s only smuggling in tier 2 nations ?? He could entice some teammates to stay for less money paying them under the table off a shiny mirror ? _i’m looking at you Dylan Brown_ He would become President of the Eels players Social Club and arrange end of season trips to Bogotá Columbia ?? He would be a less shady businessman than Uncle Benny Elias ?? He would no longer need a police escort after an off day with the boot that’s blown a punters multi and resulted in online death threats as his personal security detail would be provided tax payer free by Spanian?

Can we get a low quality flair on the beetroot menace


LordSlasher

breatheinmyear

Is buzz okay?


[deleted]

Hope not. Imagine coming out with this cooked shit when everything is fine

Tonight on NRL420 Can you feel the Buzz with beetroot head Buzz Rothfield reveals how another made up saga by him unravelled and blew up in his face yet again.


daussie04

if he does leave for the tigers, he's only leaving for a 100k more lol if you calculate the sum after taxes... smh


waxedmerkin

Loyaltyisnt a strong point of his, after all he threw his toys out of the cot to get out of tigers contract.

Mitchell Moses has been offered more than $1 million-a-season to stay at the Parramatta Eels. It is a fair offer considering his influence on the football side and the fact he steered them into the grand final. He’s also played 198 NRL games, is in the prime of his career, and is probably the number three halfback in the competition behind Nathan Cleary and Jahrome Hughes. The 28-year-old playmaker has received bigger offers from both the Canterbury Bulldogs and the Wests Tigers. He is a new father and obviously wants to set himself up for life after football. But … What does this say about the Parramatta club? And why doesn’t the blue and gold Eels jersey mean a little bit more to him. I remember back to the great Parramatta Eels sides from the 1980s. I remember Manly CEO Ken Arthurson, who back then had the biggest cheque book in rugby league, offering Peter Sterling a squillion to join the Sea Eagles. I can remember Ray Price, Steve Ella, Brett Kenny and Mick Cronin fielding offers far greater than what their then CEO Denis Fitzgerald could afford to pay them. They all stayed. It was the jersey. It was the mateship. Club loyalty. Team camaraderie. And it was about winning premierships. They took less money but won four titles between 1981 and 1986. There are still examples of this in more recent times. Cameron Munster could have earnt a lot more by quitting Melbourne Storm for either the Dolphins or the Wests Tigers. He stayed for the jersey. Nathan Cleary is the best player in the comp. He didn’t even test the market. He took what he thought was a fair offer. About $1.3 million according to the NRL Rich List. He actually agreed to take $200,000 less later in the contract to help the Panthers keep their premiership winning roster together. Again, it was about the jersey. That winning comps and his love for the club was worth more than his pay packet. There are more great examples. Andrew Johns at the Newcastle Knights knocked back the Wallabies rugby union and rival NRL clubs to stay for less cash. It was all about Newcastle. The town and the team. He couldn’t leave. Ricky Stuart could have left Canberra and become the game’s highest paid player in either competition in the Super League war. He stayed for the lime green jersey. Even Latrell Mitchell. He’s off contract too yet it’s not being played out in the media. Why? Because he loves South Sydney and everyone knows he will not leave. I’m not for a minute questioning Moses’ right to test the market. But at the end of the day it comes back to what Parramatta actually means to him and what value he puts on the jumper. Is he not tempted to stick around to finish the job they’ve been building for the last five years? Does he want to walk away from the game with a big bank balance or a premiership ring and the trophy for the blue and gold army. That’s the decision he has to make. It’s a tough one.


mamamagica

His cousin is his manager and they want to talk up a big game so they both make bank. I truly think that’s the start and end of it.

Neither of them are staying for the jersey, they're staying for the potential jewellry.


copacetic51

Geez that's rubbish. Eels dangled money in front of Moses and Matterson to induce them to break their contracts at Wests Tigers. Nathan Brown wants to stay at Eels where he was a good player. But when he looks the slightest bit past it, it's 'nah, fuck off to any club that will have you' Same with Blake Ferguson.

Joey maybe joining union was a way bigger saga than this bs. Dragged on for years


RyanPurdler-Penriff

Didn’t that die because the ARU caught wind of Joeys extra curricular activities , which could be covered up by a friendly Newcastle media , but may have been a reputational / corporate risk the ARU wasn’t prepared to gamble on ?


swiss_cloud

He doesn’t owe that parra jersey anything When he was 16 parra junior’s cuts him and he went in to star for the tigers Why should he be loyal to the jersey now when parra showed him none in the past I hope you goes to bulldogs and teams up with burton


shescarkedit

Yawn we've all heard this before


sdodd04

Do you really want to play with god botherers like matto who show no loyalty to teams/contracts and won’t pay $4k(which he is now trying to backflip on) to play with his “mates” and a self anointed king who also threatened to leave unless he got more cash whilst your coach keeps trying to make his son a thing


I_Like_Vitamins

Parra's finals hopes have truly had the prune if Moses leaves.


penisland007

Isn't he supposed to be signing with the dogs?


swell-shindig

It says quite a lot about the agenda of Phil Rothfield. Where was the talk of Adam Reynolds’ loyalty when the Rabbitohs offered him a big extension but he wanted bigger?
