Bit weird that the club's Instagram account doesn't follow Sao when they follow the rest of the squad even some former players and those joining us next year. Also Sao doesn't follow the club. Not sure if this has always been the case.

Has the IG test ever failed?

Never. Remember Clifford following a local car dealership a couple of weeks before he was confirmed?

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Sun Sep 22, 2024 3:21 pm  

So let's see who follows Tags car dealership as to who were signing?

Interesting as to why they’d be wanting a quota place all of a sudden. Ligi has had a poor season but is a solid prop would be surprised if they wanted to swap him like for like. If we had a centre in mind surely we’d have wrapped that up when we had 3-4 quota spots open and with Cust, Abdull and Sezer signed be surprised if it was another 6/7.

Back in for Rimbu? Noticed he’s been recently named in the Queensland cup team of the year alongside Jake Clifford.

He is the club's employee, if they don't want him and release him from his contract or reach a settlement agreement with him they can do as they like. Isn't that how sporting contracts usually work both ways if it suits either party (Trueman, Sutcliffe)?

If no one wants him or we don't pay him off he stays.

Common sense really I thought

Clearly not very common

The trouble is it has been commonplace at FC this season. How many players have agreed to being released and paid off?

Agreed, yes, not trying to find them another club behind their back. He'd probably have grounds for constructive dismissal

I'd be very surprised if he is here next season but if he does go then we need to bring in 2 props.
