Is Mestrov really our Messiah?
A little clarification here @LeonardCohen; Tony Mestrov is on the record in saying that an offer was made, not a formal NRL sanctioned offer, to his agent and this has not been disputed by DCE at all. Was a formal offer made during the negotiations, no, there was no formal offer but to say...- AndWeDon'tCare

Is Mestrov really our Messiah?
Here in lies a fairly interesting issue for DCE and yes, it is a large issue for HIM. Is he one hundred percent confident that his management team OR agents of said team DID NOT receive any correspondence regarding the discussions pertaining to his request for an early release OR any narrative...- AndWeDon'tCare

Emperor Palpatine would be in awe of this guy. If only George Lucas had use of DCE when he was making the second tranche of Star Wars movies, we wouldn't have had to put up with Hayden Christensen. He truly knows the way of the Force... To force-feed us this complete diatribe of garbage. He...- AndWeDon'tCare

NRL Games [Round 4, 2025]
I see your Fifi and I call with my Dave "the coal train" Taylor. Edit: he may not have been paid as much as Fifi is earning at the moment however, I would suspect, it was quite a deal of money relative to the salary cap at the time.- AndWeDon'tCare

I eagerly await and I'm on standby for the obligatory retort from the linguist, his manager and the NEC/SMH crew.- AndWeDon'tCare

That surprised me as well given the last part of your message. I wondered if he (Mestrov) received a call from Penn basically telling him to get on the "front foot" before DCE appears on TV as I recall both journalists said they received text messages and a call from both Mestrov and Penn.- AndWeDon'tCare

If that were to happen, you won't find a CEO worth their salt come near this place. Working with the Penn family is not easy and as I've alluded to in some of my postings over the years, no one beats the door down to work for the Club and I'm thankful that Mestrov is here. Each to their own...- AndWeDon'tCare

I'm sure Penn is not happy with Mestrov, he was cutting new string and organising his eye-hooks thinking he would be able to make him, Mestrov his new puppet. Tony is a very good CEO, very sharp and quite accomplished in many facets and aspects of public and private business entities. He is a...- AndWeDon'tCare

And this is the Fox/NewsCorp side of the story. Each major news organisation is picking one side and DCE has NEC in his corner and the Club is utilising Fox/NewsCorp in the corner. Interesting commentary of note in the article is now we are hearing of the "informal dialogue" between both...- AndWeDon'tCare

It's fairly easy to blame the Club and my posts last night weren't defending the Club nor were they "attacking" DCE, both parties, are in my considered opinion, at fault. What grinds my gears is the carefully constructed narrative being perpetuated across the media mainly by those pro-DCE that...- AndWeDon'tCare

Braith Anasta... I must commend the "powerful figures" he spoke with because I'm sure they wouldn't spin a story to Narcissus so he could gleefully regale said "comments" on his show. They'd never do that to a TV host, player manager and someone that they all good in high esteem in the game...- AndWeDon'tCare

The Club, I don't believe so, there are some very good people who work in and around the Club. Scott Penn, well, he may have a case to answer on that count. He should be tried just as they tried Jerry, George, Elaine and Cosmo (Cosmo!!) in the series finale of Seinfeld. And I mean in the...- AndWeDon'tCare

The only conflict here is the notion of one's "value/worth" and the computation of this "number" is made up of both financial and non-financial decisions/requirements and expectations. We can spin it all we like, DCE can too, but this is purely a combination of money and his want/desire to...- AndWeDon'tCare

We will agree to disagree @frank stokes. I don't wish to go into a slanging match via the forum, however, if we are to believe that he "made the decision to play on in December", did he say when in December he communicated that to the Club? It certainly was not in the first two weeks, perhaps...- AndWeDon'tCare

As is not responding or being respectful of the process by "staying silent" for over a month as the composition of a deal (maybe not to his satisfaction) were being placed together. I'm trying to remain measured here but it is becoming quite difficult.- AndWeDon'tCare

He gave ZERO indication as late as December that he wanted to play in 2026. In late January 2025 he intimidated the he would consider playing on and the Club, said, rightfully so, well we have an idea on a figure, we'll communicate that to your manager and take it from there. Now, hear me...- AndWeDon'tCare

Of course he did, that's exactly how it's played out. He's obviously read and studied the Art of War. I'm not watching the show but please, do not, in any way, shape or form believe that "no offer was made"... The offers made were made, they weren't to his liking, so in the negotiation...- AndWeDon'tCare

That would be the first time he's listened or watched that show, it must have been his manager who informed him of the "offer" that was broadcast on TV.- AndWeDon'tCare

Did he, by any chance, say that his manager NOT HIM, had reviewed the initial discussions held back in January 2025 where a position was placed to DCE to consider for 2026 and 2027?- AndWeDon'tCare
