We haven't heard much about 3rd Party deals for a while.

The reporter says there is more to come on this in the next 24-48 hours.

Like always there will be two sides to every story. We don't know why the sponsor hasn't paid him. He may not have fulfilled his part of the deal.

I say that's on the agent and player. And if that doesn't come through then too bad!
That was my thought as well. If only involvement the NRL really has is signing it off that the club is separate from it.

Like when these were hitting the news a lot. They are not guaranteed. If he has done the appearances or work covered in the agreement it is time for his manager to actually do some work and show some value to his client.

When I first saw this on my YT feed it made it seem like a cap issue. Not sure if the headlines were changed. Ended up being pretty on the lower end of the scale.

A nothing burger as stated by Gus unless this is a whole cover story for something else

NRL signed it off so they won't slap themselves on the face, even the Channel 9 reporter's comeback points were desperate weak sauce to maintain their clickbait headlines. Who are the sponsors not paying up though, they might be the ones receiving backlash from customers
 
4 final series in 6 years isn't a bad effort all things considered. Admittedly they've been bundled out very easily in week 1 in virtually all those years. But I think if you were a wests or a tits supporter, you'd dream for that sort of record.

it's going to be a long rebuild for them. Looks like POS and co have f**ed up their salary cap for years to come by letting all their middles go and burning their cap space with the Brown signing.
 
we did make finals once in 2018 though.

Of course. Didn't really set the world alight, though.

I'm not disagreeing with anything you're saying, I'm just pointing out that we too would liked to have had regular finals appearances over that period of time, and considering the troops we had, severely underperformed by not doing so.
 
The dark alcoholic years, best forgotten now.

In many ways our seasons during those dark years could be best described through the life cycle of an alcoholic.

We would start the season drunk, make a mini recovery during origin to give us all some hope, only to then relapse back into old ways by collapsing in a heap towards the end of the year. It didn't matter who was the coach- Bluey, Elliot, Cappy, Kearney, Brown. That was literally how every season panned out until Webby came along.

He's like our 12 step program to sobriety

I see webby as a return to the sober years of the Cleary era after years of hangovers under our many bad subsequent coaching experiments. We were never a flashy side under Ivan and our attacking shape wasn't ever anything deeper than kick it to Manu. But we had a defensive DNA and made finals on a consistent basis. It's almost as if Ivan used his time with us as a field experiment for his later Penrith project. Webby has now returned to re-establish what Ivan built all those years ago.
