He who shall not be named

Safe to say this bloke will not be allowed anywhere near this club again While Nick is alive… if you want to play for the chooks steer clear of the charlatan ….

‘It’s called manners’: Buzz slams Suaalii’s move to keep Roosters supremo ‘in the dark’

That's the way it is with player managers/agencies.- The higher the contract the higher their cut is

Freddie Freeman would never have left the Atlanta Braves when he hit free agency at the end of 2021 (Braves World Series Victory Season)

His agency never told him about the Braves Final offer as they knew he would have taken the Atlanta deal over the considerable higher LA Dodges deal - Atlanta Braves 6 year 140 mill US vs LA Dodgers 6 year 162 Mill US

Gus is a senile old fool. His comments about a 19yo kid were a complete disgrace.

It’s ironic that his disdain for anyone and everything in the modern game is probably due to CTE the old coot.

I think his age is irrelevant. He plays with the men so should be treated like a man. I understand where Gus is coming from.

I don't think Suaalii has done anything wrong. He has honoured his original commitment to us. He has taken up the extension.I think it is bad for Gould to put so much personal pressure on him. He is a young man, I think he is doing his best and being up front. It probably could have been handled better by his agent, true, but to suggest that Suaalii should leave now in an insulting way is poor form from Gus. Just my opinion.

[Tennessee Tornado]

I find it a complete conflict of interest that a General Manager of a football team should have such a prominent role in the media.

Every thing he says has an undercurrent of agenda.

I agree and those comments are really out of line. It's not his place to tell any Roosters player to step down and make out that Joseph has done something wrong and try and embarrass him like that. How must he and his family be feeling now? He's still at a very young age and thought he was doing the right thing by being upfront about it all.

Save the 'step down' comments for the ones who behave badly off-field with distasteful incidents and criminal behaviour. What a drama queen..and a nosey gossipy one too..

Yes, got it in one. I'd laugh so much if Joseph went on to win some Dally M's and maybe even a premiership now whilst he's still with us.

FFS the club knew what they were getting in for signing Suaalii and giving him the type of contract they did. I can't see him not busting his ass for us for the next 2 years !!! Hope we see the kid hold up a trophy in our beautiful coulours !!!

[Intercept]

In my opinion, Suaalii deserves our full support. He has done exactly what I would have advised my 19 year old to do if he had the same choice to make. I'd like to see the fan base close ranks around him and lift him up, much as I am sure the players will. This type of thing has the capacity to make us stronger. As for Isaac Moses, he is rather easy to dislike. Seems like a smart arse upstart that gets a kick out of pissing off Politis. If that's how he gets his sense of importance, life probably has some harsh lessons in store for him. Karma is well known to be a bitch.

Which person... Buzz?

> “Now Isaac went off and did this deal with Rugby Australia without coming back to Nick Politis to say this is what you’re up against.

> “He kept him in the dark, it was really bad table manners and it shouldn’t have happened.”

He's talking as if we coulda matched a $5m offer and a chance to play in a rugby world cup (one of his personal goals). IMO blaming his agent is pretty limp.

Nick and Robbo are happy. IMO they knew this all along and it hasn't bothered them as he's been upfront and they support him.

And he’s got a league contract for two years. End of story.

Essentially calling for a 19yo kid to be punted for signing a better contract elsewhere is disgraceful

[weplayforprems]

Gus’s only concern is and always has been Gus.

Suaalii leaving now weakens one of the best teams in the comp. I’m sure Gus would love people telling Burton to **** off if he signed the same deal.

oh I do t think Joseph has done anything wrong… his manager on the other hand.. The same bloke who was using us to bump up Mitchell Moses contract. Nick already hated him and teddy had an ugly break up with him. The fact he got his credentials back is a travesty.
