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.
Yes, that shows greed. Also it seems that some wouldn't even talk to the club, why?
To be fair, I didn’t get that impression from what Andrea has said.

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.

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.

+1 respect her for her honesty. She could have easily hidden behind the media team. Appreciate her coming on and updating the fans on what's going on.

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.

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
