Trbojevic Contract Discussions Off To A Shaky Start

Personally, it would not surprise me if the brothers left our club. While I don't know Jake, we have a mutual friend. As most of you know, they are respectful boys, from a good family, and certainly not blabber mouthes. However, Jake did express his strong disappointment at Tooves removal. The club really needed to back up their statements on the supposed improvements needed. They have failed. Do not be surprised to see yet two more of our local juniors, lost to our club. The Storm are the front runners.

I know I am being selfish but I hope you are wrong..
 
Have I missed something? Didn't St George offer the family an $8mil contract for all the family for a 6 year contract not 4 weeks ago? Surely I thought management would have offer at least a $10 mil nrl life contract to lock the hole family in? Local juniors, great family, great parents, role models? Is this what the club needs.....seriously if this hasn't happened already, what a joke.

If true, ship them off, socialists never won nuffin!
 
Considering the lack of clarity over what the cap will be in 2018 why would any player sign a long term contract?

Almost every club has the same issue. Out of all the slap shot ways the game is being run the failure to set a clear guideline re future cap is one of the most short sighted ones.

Can you imagine the chaos once they finally tell everyone one the actual decision? Amazing the game can be mis managed like this on a continual basis
 
I can see the negotiations panning out something like this:

Penn and Kelly sit down in round 1 next year, Tom scores a length of the field try...

Penn: We need sign Tom right now to a long term extension
Kelly: I'm on it sir
Penn: and don't forget his brother
Kelly: I didn't know he had a brother
Penn: he plays for us you idiot, the bloke with the same last name
Kelly: sorry sir, I didn't know. I'll get it done. How much should we pay?
Penn: give them a deal like Cherry's
Kelly: consider it done

The next day
Kelly: sir, I told you I'd get it done, and just like when I said I'd bring you a Burgess brother, I've delivered again
Penn: I hope it turns out better than that, but well done Joe. Was it tough?
Kelly: nup, I even got you a discount. Only cost us $9m each, for life. They jumped at my first offer
Penn: they really love the club those boys, great news
Kelly: by the way sir, I worked out pretty quickly that you were pulling my leg about them being brothers when I realised Matthew was black
Penn: Matthew who?
Kelly: Matthew Wright sir, the player you joked was Tom Wright's brother! Anyway, it doesn't matter now - we got both of them for life!!
Penn: oh ****
Kelly: did I ever tell you about my time at Chelsea?
 
No need to worry they'll be staying and this report is probably off as 99% of them are. The trbojevics won't be leaving manly fullstop explanation mark...
 
Quick question for both Frank and yourself - would you still support Manly if the Penns stuffed this up? If the boys left there would be a huge uproar, Manly most likely will take years to recover and fans will walk, will you be one of them? (this is an innocent question not a sarcastic one).
I've been supporting Manly for 45 years. I'm not going anywhere. And like @bob dylan I also supported the Northern Eagles.

The Trbojevic brothers are likely to stay but I honestly feel that the system they will commit to is horribly flawed. I'm old enough to be their father, and if I was, I would be advising them from a different perspective than most posters on here.

I know Frank. You on the other hand would offer them a contract they couldnt refuse.

Ahh ironic. They will sign with a club that feels like home. One which is a professional organisation. One in which they can continue to play along side life long team mates. A club who has coaches and systems to develop them as players and reach their potential. And a club who can afford them. Is that club ours? Smile and wave peeps. Smile and wave.
 
No source whatsoever, perhaps once on sportal someone said it but this is just from me, the two reasons are that they love the club (never know might be wrong) and are local juniors, so if they are similar to us manly fans then they wouldn't leave for no other team at least not this early in their careers and that's what we'd hope. Believe the Trbojevics are our future and even penn won't get in front of that. This is just a report, what are your sources to believe it? Really angry at media seeing the treatment of Matai the other day and the worst thing of all is that people always believe it
