The Book of Albert

[Terry Zarsoff]

Just confirmed joining Raiders on one year deal rumoured to be less than $100k

Canberra is about to pick up a solid dose of HOPID-19.

Well that worked out well for him didn’t it!!!

Once the church get 10% and John gets board there won't be much left.

Just confirmed joining Raiders on one year deal rumoured to be less than $100k

Seems incorrect considering the minimum wage for a top 30 player is $110,000 in 2021.
Is he not in the top 30?

And only 1 year.

All the best young hoppa, hope he goes well but not too well haha

None of the journos seem to know that he didn’t sign the contract manly offered. Hey journos!

 

[ManlyTragic]

Well that’s overs!

Is it 86k for a development contract?

Is it 86k for a development contract?

Doesn't that mean he can't play first grade unless there are major injuries to the top 30 squad?

Seems he is desperate just to be on the books of any club now. Pity, as he rejected very good money from Manly.

Shouldn't of listed to his dad.. he always advises to go for the money

It's like having your house on the market, rejecting 1.4 million after 3 days on the market because you're holding out for more, and then taking 1.1 three months later.

As I have already said....he is being very poorly advised.

Just quoting the article the journalist knows as much as us re players salaries

 

[HoldenV8]

Good luck to him ... but if his play is anything like what we saw late this year, maybe it should be good luck to Canberra?

I don't know though. Maybe a full pre-season could do him good?

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

The raiders do have a starting spot up for grabs if he's good enough. Might very well be a sensation in a year but we were right to let him walk.
What was it his dad wanted? 300k?

I read it is a train and trial deal. As far as I know there are no money stipulations on train and trial deals..

Hopefully the last we see of any Hopoate at Manly...His old man is an ungrateful grub.

Devel contracted players are allowed to play FG after july 1 as well as the major injury clause... except in 2020 where devel players were allowed to play FG any time after the covid interruption. Maybe it will be the same in 2021 and the Aiders have made a shrewd move if he is signed on a devel contract.

I'm guessing there is more to it as either a devel or t and t contract carry FAR less money than the 250k reportedly offered by us and the Dogs would shirley have offered him more than that. I hope he came back to accept the MWSE after the lack of money interest elsewhere and we told him the prior offer is not still on the table.

Anyways...good riddance.

 

[47MVEagle]

Good luck to him but not particularly concerned about losing him

 

[Spartan Eagle]

He's gonna spend about 100k in fuel a year because of the move..I'm really baffled why he would have rejected a potentially better offer from us, especially after nurturing him through 2 acl injuries. What's he thinking

I'm guessing we have pulled our offer to him and he has no choice but to take whatever he can get.
If so, i'm a very proud MWSE supporter. Karma is the best justice.
