ELGEY

[bob dylan]

Whether or not Elgey we offered (and think that he was worth) 350 /400 or even 500 is a secondary issue in my mind. So far we have very publicly gone after three halves (incumbents and Elgey), including one of them twice (if papers are to be believed) and come up with none. That to me indicates that something is very wrong somewhere within the powers that be.

Why would they sign with Manly?

1 Coach about to be chopped, certainly not secure

2 The softest back of forwards in the NRL.

3. A CEO who seems to be a little "cold" when you meet him.

4. The fact that long term and champion players in Stewart, Watmough, Foran and DCE are no longer at the club for various reasons.

5.. Constant rumours of player unrest.

Sure if they want the money they will grab it, but anyone interested in a longer term career would have severe doubts. Simply not worth the risk.

Why would they sign with Many? Because we are the most appreciative fans in the sport.

6. So they could be at a club whose CEO once worked for Chelsea.

I would like someone with some financial/accounting ability to read the liquidatiors report to creditors on the attached link.
http://www.rodgersreidy.com.au/gold_coast_titans_pty_ltd/creditors_and_members.

It basically says (as I read it) that the Titans were trading insolvent. That is illegal from my understanding and the directors are liable to prosecution and not being able to be directors again of ac company.

I followed this up with ASIC and they told me they are still waiting for further info....The latest report to creditors/members has not been posted yet it was over a month ago....The Titans are dodgy, their directors should not have been put back in control of the new entity when the NRL took over....Yet they continue to survive and prosper under the new regime. Wonder how all the little guys who lost millions between them feel.

Not an expert on insolvency, but having had some experience with liquidators and administrators you can be certain they will bleed every last bit of remaining asset from the company by dragging out the process as long as they can. Anyway if you read the report they basically conclude that there wasn't insolvent trading - Clause J1.3

85% of thread waffle. The great Elgey! Lol

The NRL is underwriting all their debts, so the secured creditors will get their monies.

The GC Titans licence was transferred to the new entity - its not the same ACN that went into administration.

LG turned into S size

These days, play a handful of games and boom - big extension. Elgey, Bird, Turbo...

Soon you'll get called up, play your first name not **** up for 20 minutes and at half time your agent will negotiate a big extension...

you know...as in Kelly Country.....nobody?? Pfft...my genius is wasted here; might go and join one-eyedeel, full of mental giants over there...

Sorry.....

GOLD Coast boss Graham Annesley has revealed details of the delicate final negotiating process that enabled the club to re-sign young gun Kane Elgey after it had been widely reported he had done a deal with Manly for next year.


The Titans took the view that it’s never over until it’s over and ended up getting their man, despite the Sea Eagles having pulled out all stops by promoting to Elgey the opportunity to work with their specialist halves coach – the eighth RLWImmortal, Andrew Johns.

Now, Gold Coast can plan for 21-year-old Elgey to partner Daly Cherry-Evans in the halves next season – after Cherry-Evans leaves Manly.

“From our point of view, our negotiations with Kane were never concluded,” Annesley tells RLW.






“We were still talking to him and his manager right up until yesterday (Tuesday), as we had been right through the process. We made one final increase to our offer before Kane made his decision.

“It was fairly minimal, it wasn’t a massive increase, and then we just waited. We had been assured by Kane’s management, despite what was being reported in the media from Monday onwards, that he hadn’t signed anything.

“Kane is a local junior with unlimited potential, so we submitted our final offer and then we just sat back and waited until about 4.30pm yesterday, when I received a text message confirming he had decided to stay.”




Annesley says Gold Coast had worked hard over a period of time to get to a stage where it could come to terms with Elgey.

“I think Kane always wanted to stay, because this is where he played his junior footy and it’s his home,” Annesley says.

“But when you’re young and it’s your first big contract, the sort of dollars rival clubs are prepared to offer can be tempting, so we gradually edged our offer up during the course of the negotiations.

“In the end I think we got close enough to be competitive with other offers Kane had received, making it an easier decision for him to say ‘I’m staying’.”

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. We should take a leaf out of the tits book and return serve with DCE

The interesting part they were talking to him and his manager right up until the end and up the offer.

What did we do with DCE take the offer of the table.

Hey mate . A mate of mine who knows a board member told him they were still a 50/50 to get cherry but you still read how dce is trying to get lussick to the titans yarda yarda yarda . It might be just me but I think that ship has sailed as far as staying at manly . I hope I'm wrong .

I just hope they do everything they can, short of throwing more money than we can spare at him, in order to try to get him to stay. We took him on when he was a young guy who was playing pretty average footy and not impressing anyone, we blooded him into first grade, we upgraded his contracts to pay him what he was worth, he lives here, he loves the area, his family are settled here, the media career that he wants is more likely to happen in Sydney. Seriously the only reason to not keep him is that our board are egotistical gits who wanted Foran more and told DCE where to shove it during negotiations. They need to make that right. If he still wants to go after that then at least we tried.
