To be fair, I didn’t get that impression from what Andrea has said.fentiger wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 8:36 pmYes, that shows greed. Also it seems that some wouldn't even talk to the club, why?TigerBoy1880 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 8:30 pm They were offered a 25% wage reduction for one season only and then also given the opportunity to get 50% of what they have lost, back, later down the line. That seems fair to me, yet 5 of them said no. Things like this disappoint me, especially when some of the players see what people live on in their birth country.
Hugely disappointed in the decisions of them.

Interesting. Bondi has gone back over the 5 name thing a few times. There's been a chance for Andrea to correct what she's said. Maybe there's been a late deal.TigerBoy1880 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 8:47 pmVeainu commented on the live feed that Taufua is leaving as well after Andrea didn’t mention him

So basically what was confirmed, a set limit which I imagine being around £30-40k of players salaries was ringfenced as being almost like a nil-rate band which could be immune to being reduced. Anything over for all the players was subject to a 25% reduction. From this reduction, 50% could be clawed back in future seasons all being well.
So with 31 staff being told from today they are being made redundant, I don’t see how anyone can really blame how the club has dealt with things. Fair play for the interview and explaining their side of the story.
Players at the end of the day look out for themselves, no one can blame the ones leaving and I wish them all the best. However, if they can’t get on board then I’m happy for them to no longer be part of the Tiger’s family.

Hmmmm.......Bondi has confirmed o his twitter feed that Andrea listed five players but hasn’t directly answered in the affirmative that JT is staying.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 8:56 pmInteresting.

I guess if TV genuinely has stated it on a Facebook live feed then it must be true.....

There are some assumptions you could probably draw about the media leaker given who has been involved in the last few incidents, but it sounds like the club are taking it pretty seriously. Childish really, it serves no purpose and they were clearly never going to let individual players be bigger than the club.

TV’s partner doesn’t seem to be of the opinion it was an amicable parting of ways .
Taufua still seems a bit contentious
