List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion

Here's me just not getting the "there's 4 games left and I've not thought about it yet" as a thing to worry about? You'd hope the focus of a player was on playing the game not on contract things their manager should be focusing on instead?

Jumping at shadows, be people.

 

[Mowman]

For the record no one’s ever messaged me ****ing anything, I think it’s all stupid. We’re all just making it up.

I always message you even send you photos

 

[BrutThough]

Kane Cornes saying he can't see Nas leaving. Says we shouldn't over pay though.

He sounded very reasonable on radio tonight, especially compares to JJ/Edmund who were throwing around crazy suggestions.

That shit can't be unseen FWIW.

For the record I was joking but I also think he’d be ****ing mad to wanna stay. We’re paying someone close to triple what he’d be on to come do his job and rarely ever play two rucks.

How tight are they lol

 

[gringo2011]

Bingo

FFS, many are saying he's the best player in the comp. He's absolute box office. He's memberships.

We didn't get the job done and have him sign earlier. That's on us. We have also been swingin' our money around with the supposed war chest. That's on us.

We're gonna have to pay up.

Yeah, you don't let your guns walk no matter what. If he is the highest paid player at the club so be it. Just drop $100k off all other contracts for those guys under him.

If we miss out on TDK because we had to pull a few hundred thousand off his contract even.

[Captain Paddy]

Nas not going anywhere boys

The things I’d do to keep Nas…

 

[SainterinSydney]

Nas not going anywhere boys

SOS, is that you?

Finite job opportunity and he's currently #1 ruck, I dunno, I'd be fine if I had 6-7 figures per year to run around in shorty sorts with people I've enjoyed the company of.

Re TDK speculation, who knows if this is a good or bad thing, might prefer to start at CHF, might prefer more bench time as he aged, might hate it, who knows really. I know me, if I had to sacrifice my game so someone rated could come in and we could get to finals, I'm sacrificing and we're going for gold as team sport, not individual glory.

Doesn't strike me as a solo operator with BDE.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Caro just said we have upped the ante since $1.4 million.

 

[Grav]

Not long now guys!

He’s not playing ones of TDK is here short of injuries.

Doubt he wants that.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Kornes can't see Port doing it. Can't see they give up heart and soul player like Butters.

 

[Sainter88]

Even if one of those stool eating trade “gurus” is live on air saying he’s staying I still won’t believe it till he’s running out round 1 2026 for us

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Caro saying port believe they can still get a deal done

 

[Yawkey way]

100%, this is on no one but the club
Our best player by a mile just pay him, he is worth every cent and more

You pay him and if he still walks that’s how our system works.

I think if he does leave it will be to Adelaide. I don’t have any information just a hunch based on how Ricciuto has been going on about Nas for over 12 months. As you would expect their interest in him didn’t start in the last month. I very much doubt he’d have been talking about him like the second coming if he thought he was going to be pulling on a Port jumper.

 

[SainterinSydney]

In short, Agenda Setters had nothing breaking except Caro said we have offered more than the $1.4 million since last report.

 

[topbillings]

Caro just said we have upped the ante since $1.4 million.

$1.5 million per year + Ross Lyon has volunteered to carry him around the club on his shoulders.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Hutchy and Cornes can't see Nas leaving.

 

[LuckyBounce!]

They certainly do love eating stool
