Gus does not like the fact the Dragons might come out in front.
For the first time ever I agree with Gal...How ridiculous is Gus
Never thought that would happen...
The Dragons are cancelling Lomax contract at Lomax's request, so there is no $250 Gus, how do you run the Dogs if you can't comprehend this?
Didn’t realise you where a GM
@@coreymartin1680No wonder the Dogs organisation is a basket case when Gus is running the joint.
That’s Lomax’s problem not the club. Just because he was paid at $850,000 or $1, he wants to leave. The Dragons are not entitled to fit the bill from their purse to make up Lomax’s difference, as Gus is pointing.
Secondly if I was the Bulldogs I’ll make an ultimatum to Gus Gould your job and focus is the Bulldogs not in the media. They can get around it by saying this job is a conflict of interest. Your performance at Bulldogs is rubbish stealing individual Panthers players to somehow build up the bulldogs. It’s all coming home to Roost isn’t it Gus, that it’s the culture not the individual Panthers players that are making them winners. Bulldogs do yourself a favour and get rid of this rubbish.
Going back to Lomax if he signs with another club, they table an offer that is less, that’s once again his problem his not valued by what a previous club payed for his service. His value is determined by on-field performance. Maybe Gus is using Bulldogs to shelter the salary cap problems by the Panthers. His a hypocrite.
The contract is cancelled Gus. No 250 turning up anywhere.
The club has canceled the contract. the NRL havent cancel the salery cap value. Saints and the NRl agreed to the value of the player. Now the 800k cap value needs to be meet or the Dragons get a cap advantage over the other teams. Player value and CAP value are 2 completly different things.
Lomax doesn’t want to play for the Dragons to the point where he’s willing to take a massive pay cut . And you want the Dragons to pay his salary cap. 😂😂
Lomax has forgo-ed his contract like Pangai Jnr. Gus is a hypocrite here.
Foregone.
Tpj ? Surprised gal didn't mention that
Very true. No way TPJ just retired on his own accord. Gus and the Dogs forced him out.
NRL needs to adopt the NFL salary cap system because so many players are not living up to their contracted value
1000%
Overdue !
Yup said that 3 years ago. Should have heard what kaants said 😂
The value of something is only how much someone is willing to pay. No one is willing to pay 850k. Gus has it wrong
Gus is a hypocrite here, Tevita Pangai Jr?
EELS supporter here, I do NOT want a player that spits the dummy and wants out because he is played out of position, Lomax has not shown that he is good enough for centre, hence he is on the wing, cant goal kick either so thats not a bonus either, seriously not worth $800k
Nah u are a low key dragons fan hating the fact he wants to leave to go play for parra 😂😂😂
Lomax thinks his value is based by him lamenting like a child, pay up I’m worth this much and if you don’t pay I’m not playing. I’d rather sit out because in Lomax World I’m worth this and valued at that. My answer is see ya and come up NSW Cup player into 1st Grade. Make these self entitled, narcissistic & arrogant players realise that they’re here to work as an employee. Not even dropped, completely put aside off the roster and if your not playing then your money payments are on ice. These managers have made these players feel like they’re invincible, non-replaceable & so entitled. Clubs need to start to realise 1 million other junior players in Sydney who can play Rugby League. Easily replaced and without a hint of regret. Those contracts need to start stipulating conditions the player has to meet. Otherwise, they don’t meet them no money. Replaced by NSW Cup player. Make them understand that they’re not Rugby League. The Game preceded them, it will precede them into the future. Problem why this exists, because of a culture of nepotism & nepotistic people looking after buddies not the interest of the RLFC they’re meant to play and represent.
@@abs1784as a dragons fan I just want him to get the smallest contract possible 😂
@@clevelandwilliams5922 100% agree
Player values change
What about the other way around! So what happens if he is paid 400k p.a, breaks contract and a new club pays 600k p.a. Should the new club then have an additional 200k to spend in the cap?
This is the bloke running the Bulldogs people...
Gus just cares about Gus and ensuring there are teams to shield the Dogs from the spoon.
Gal should have told Gus that the Bulldogs should have to wear Tevita's salary on their cap after Tevita & the Bulldogs agreed to cancel Tevita's contract.
That would have shut Gus up quick smart.
I see what Gus is saying , they do this in the NFL for exactly this reason , stopping teams from taking players out of the player pool.
Player movement fundamentally works differently over here though; players in the NFL have substantially less agency in terms of forcing/preventing moves than they do in the NRL (no doubt impacted by the ungodly amounts of money involved in our code), so comparisons between the two are inherently suspect imo.
Gus is worried the dragons are coming lol. Good coach now and signing money.
Dragons for 2026
Gus wants him at the dog's 😂😂😂
Gus that's ridiculous mate.
he doesnt wanna be there...take the hit and accept your new worth.
Usually with Gus. But he’s wrong. The dragons have been bad for years and they pay overs. If the guy leaves the burden of his contract does too.
Why is that? Say for instance player X is signed to a 4yr deal for 1mil per season average, but gets 500k the first 2 years then 1.5mil the following years. he decides not to play for this club anymore and leave and signs a 2 year deal for 2mil with another club. The club has got the benefit of paying unders for the first 2 yrs, they should take the $500k cap hit for the 2 remaining years
I am new into NRL and just trying to understand what Gus is saying, so basically a player does not want to play anymore and they breaking the contract to move to another team (the player is happy), and the player will sign a smaller contract with the new team, and he is saying that someone has to assume this 200k? This is so silly, how come someone would have to pay that money for a broken contract?
He's the CEO of the Bulldogs so he complains about crap like this all the time. He's a goose.
Did you come from the USA game?
It's to stop better teams getting better players at reduced value
To make the competition fair
I mean from the stand point that next year dragons now have a free 900k in cap which should be used on there winger I would back gus on this one. its in the dragons best interest to move him on and replace him with someone already in house or much cheaper, then they are able to use the spare money to sure up another spot. and then it also leads to another club getting stronger at a reduced price for no reason. there should be for sure some more rules around breaking contracts.
Gus is a goose but he's essentially right here. The Dragons signed Lomax to a contract under the salary cap rules and therefore if he's to break that contract to go to the Eels to maintain the integrity of the salary cap the Eels should not be able to pay Lomax less than he would have been making at the Dragons. For the years after the Dragon's contract would have ended the Eels can negotiate a lower contract as long as they're within the normal salary cap rules.
This is a very good discussion. I’m with Gal though
I agree will Paul Gallen. I think the club who Zac Lomax signs with should foot the rest of the bill. The team who he signs with is getting a quality player, so they should pay. If the team doesn’t like that arrangement, then don’t sign him, simple! This situation is all Zac Lomax’s doing, he wants out because he doesn’t want to play on the wing. So, if clubs don’t want to sign him in this situation he only has himself to blame.
The Most ridiculous is a BIG CALL
The cost is being taken by Lomax because his pay is going down from 850k to 600k. I’ve no idea why Gus thinks St George should also take a 250k cost.
Yeah the dragons shouldn't, that was dumb. But theres probably a case for the Eels having to pay it out anyway.. Hypothetically, What if Lomax wanted to leave the dragons to win a title and he was moving to the storm for only 100k/year.. Would you then have a problem with it? The Storm are obviously being unfairly advantaged. The storm already have a huge advantage when it comes to recruiting the best players for lower salaries.. You cant also let them poach from other teams whilst even paying them less salary on top of it?
yeah, it's a hypothetical, but the hypothetical is why the rule exists.
How about making contracts worth the paper they are written on, at the moment it seems like a written contract means nothing
If dragons didn’t want him and told him to go elsewhere, then Lomax would have a leg to stand on to receive a payout. The dragons would be happy for Lomax to stay but he doesn’t want to, so they are releasing him. I’m sure if he told them that they need to pay him out then they would not agree to releasing him. Stupid that it’s even being discussed.
Gould is a clown 😂😂😂😂
What are you smoking Gus??? Why should the Dragons have to pay Lomax to go to the Eels?
It's simple..
Either St George say "we don't want to let you go and u are staying here for the remainder of ur contract playing park footy or where ever we need you" or "you can leave and we will pay the rest out to the other club that we work a agreement out with"
It's not rocket science😂😂😂😂
Like when Tallis sat out a year funnily enough going from Dragons to Broncos.
Gus is a pain in the neck and an awfully big neck it is, too. He thinks ks he is the smartest man in the room. He is unbearable. This argument is stupid Guss. It's his decision. If he chooses forgo the money and leave, that is Lomax fault.
Lomax should pay the Dragons 250k out of his 650k.
Gus & the nrl should give every supporter of the game a million dollars a year to go to games & buy merchandise & just generally support their team.
LOmax's needs to be playing fullback for the dragons
so if player was valued at $1mil years ago but sucks now due to injury or whatever he still gets $1m? Gus lost the plot
Eels can teach him to tackle, and be a team player.
I agree with Gal. Lomax is dumb enough to want out for less money, he chose to leave.
Gould is wrong. A mutual agreement. Should only go into cap what he gets paid. He has been overpaid.
Just like Eels taught Sivo to tackle lol!!!!
He signed a major contract that helped the inflation of the player market in his position with his skillset. Saints and every other team were affected with retention and recruitment for the salary cap period of his contract. It helped establish market values for all player trading.
Regardless of his desperation to now leave Saints for less money mid contract, the market effect on the salary cap for all clubs will stand and therefore should be transferred to Parra who will otherwise pick up a cap discount compared to their competitors.
@@boganbob2708 It doesn't matter, his value has changed now
@wayneturner8575 agree, he is worth what clubs are prepared to pay for him now, which is no longer $800+k.
GHOSSH LET HIM GO, BRING NOTHING TO THE DRAGONS EXCEPT HIS HIGH JUMP. DRAGON MOSTLY LOOSING IN GOAL KICK DIFFERENCE AND THIS GUY STILL KICK
Gus talking about "media types" youre one of em lol
Lomax to the Tigers
At 650 might happen as he was a tiger supporter. Doueihi on 650 not getting extended and Richo said we are after a marquee centre.Maybe Cobbo if Broncos have cap issues.
Gus is a Goose.
I will say while its easy to agree with Gal out of principle, there is a lot of truth to what Gus is saying in terms of how this would impact the player market.
Feels like an easier fix would just be to not allow contracts which increase pay towards the back end of deals (possibly with an exception for a % increase when the entire salary cap itself is adjusted).
Gal is right. Gus needs to take a bex and have a nice lie down.
Wake up Gus…
He’d look good in Lime Green !
Doggies missed out on lomax and Gus is salty AF 😂😂😂
WTF Gus? The extra doesn’t exist anymore so it goes nowhere. Players values are constantly changing and if you follow Gus’s insane logic if Lomax goes to the Eels for 1 Million per season then it’s only $850K that counts towards their cap. Absolute dribbler on this one
LOL, Gus playing the NRL again to benefit his club. When you come to Saints Gus? We need your spin doctoring mate. making me agree with Gal again.
Gus is a goose, and should stay away from commentating 😎
I think Gus tried to Sign Lomax so he’s salty not hating either
Unusually I agree with Gus.
Wtf Gus? its Lomax wanting to leave not the dragons tearing up his contract , having a team get a cap hit for a player who isn't even on their roster is just silly.
Lomax chose to break the contract and leave, why should the Dragons, who were prepared to honour the contract, be punished!?
Only Gus would consider this because he is a club manager.
So are the dogs copping TPJ on there cap. . Just saying
No wonder the Bulldogs are so rubbish with Gus' mathematics.
Gus there is something wrong with you
Grubby journalists never let the truth get in the way of a headline story .Gallan has packed into one too many scrums and got into the ring once too often.
Don’t let gal talk about money on this show ever again
Sometimes Guz comes up with something illogical and ridiculous..if Lomax doesn’t want to play in his current position, and wants to leave for less and play in a different role of his choice, how’s that affecting the Dragons in regards to his salary cap?..in fact, Dragons would save money!🤔🤷♂️
I think Gus was trying to say something but couldn’t find the correct words.
No smile Gus😊
Ok Gus has lost the plot
everyone is for getting he was he signed that deal on back he was going to be made full back that’s why he wonts to leave
so Gus showing how much he has lost touch with the real world. Truely its time to put him out to pasture..
What is Gus talking about. Normally he makes some sense but this is ridiculous. Lomax wants out and they let him go. End of story.
Gould a complete joke!
Gus makes sense the AFL do that Brodie Grundy is still getting paid by Collingwood and he’s played for 2 teams since then 🤣
Lomax wanted to break the contract!
Typical Gus, look at his own club & all the dodgy crap he done at the Dogs. Cripple the Dragons & wants to cripple the Eels, he a joke.
I will take the 250 if it’s left around in imaginary box
The clubs happy to move him on and he's happy to move on...make the contract null and void and take the remaining money you would have paid him off the dragons cap and whoever buys him buys him
Just get rid of the salary cap all together, it’s holding the game back, bring in a transfer fee and window like soccer, nrl would stop losing players to other codes, it will be unfair for poorer clubs but they can cash in on sales and grow. Also panthers have won the last 4 and the comp has been dominated by them storm and roosters for the last 10+ years anyway so the salary cap isn’t even working anyway
Rabbits need a new player
Where are Parramatta going to play him?
Halfback
Centre, I mean he’s an improvement on Harper
Gus getting old, losing brain cells daily
honestly the lomax subject is boring. let's move on
Contract is null and void 2025. Negotiatons start fresh.
Does Gus have no concept of what 'market value' means?
If he goes back on the market, his market value is revalued... he is now 650. What he was valued at 3 years ago is irrelevant.
I cant believe Gus is in business.
Gus is right, the Dragons "Inflated" his price to $850 k, to keep other teams away, in the land of League, he is worth $850k and the next club to sign him have to wear his ticket price, ...... if not, watch for all the silly games that will begin with salary caps lol
He is not worth $850k. He is worth what clubs are prepared to pay him, which is what Parra want to pay him.
You want the Dragons to pay $200,000 on their salary cap for a player that no longer want to play for them. Those future contracts no longer exist once he signs the contract with Parra. Get off the see through didgeridoo Gus. I agree with Gal. One of the most ridiculous things Gus has ever said and that’s saying something 😂😂
Pangai Jr goes to Broncos do the Bulldogs have to pay some of his contract Gus? Lomax wants to leave so Saints shouldn't pay anything.
TPJ retired from NRL what do you want the dogs to pay?
@@bmassive4938 I don't want Dogs or Saints pay anything but according to Gus someone should pay. Lomax is terminating the contract. What happens if Pangai Jr plays for the Broncos for a smaller amount of money. He has been playing Qld Cup. The Bulldogs pay something towards the difference because they saved money on the cap? I don't get the logic. I'm a Dogs supporter.
@@bmassive4938ummm you realised he’s playing QLD for Souths Logan which is a broncos feeder club right? Nice retirement
@@joshf-w9602 it still not NRL, but if he does play for the broncos good luck to him, that has nothing to do with contract anymore.
@@bmassive4938 so if Lomax ‘retires’ for a few weeks than it’s a non issue?
Seriously Gus thinks he is god and it’s sad watching the other people on the show having to say what they really think and ask his opinion on everything b4 they say there’s good on you gal don’t stop
Gus is so up himself I can’t wait to I don’t have to hear his voice like Denise Fitzgerald from parra said
Gus thinks he invited the air that goes in the football
these YT videos keep getting recommended to me, but Gus is a big reason why i can't stand channel 9, if a player isn't working well for a club then he has the right to leave, it happens every season, Gus can't say he'll let all his Bulldogs players stay their full contracts if they're still bottom 4 closer to September
Gus says "someone needs to take the hit for the missing $200k, whether it's Parramatta or St George. But he overlooks the fact that someone is taking a hit - it's Lomax, who apparently is willing to give up $200k to go to another club. If Lomax is truly willing to play for $200k less than he could demand under his contract, then St George is just lucky. Because if he insisted on staying and collecting the money there's nothing they could do about it. I wonder if Gus suspects (but can't say) that Lomax isn't really willing to take a pay cut, and St George will pay him the $200k, but it will be paid on the side and not declared? I'm a little bit skeptical too, because it's pretty amazing that a player would pass up $200k a year just to change position.
Gal, the sharpest tool in the shed?
He was one of Qld greatest assets.
Always good for a penalty right in front of the sticks.
Too funny.
I bet they new they had played a game of footy against him when they got back in the sheds.. 🤕🤕🤕.
@@damianmcwilliams2371 Nate Miles?
And of course the Roosters HAVE to get mentioned.
Play a different record you fools.
It's getting old.
Lomax isn't worth 500 gran lol
Yes he is, he's a state of origin level player who is a quality goal kicker
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 lol ok keep dreaming
@@yessirrr5182
Charlie Stains for 400k or lomax for $500k
Who are you buying?
@@crazyprayingmantis5596state of origin player!? when!?
How stupid from Gus ,thats like somebody decides to go work in a different company gets less money then somebody expects the former company to jack up the pay for a person that does not want to work for you,,whats wrong with you Gus,,they should make it like in soccer and then Dragons would own Lomax 2 more years and in this situation eels would have to buy out and pay the damafes to dragons for steeling a player
Thing is, the losing club usually pays 'freight'. The gaining club KNOWS they are in the upper hand position and pay a fair chunk (but not all) of the player's salary moving forward. It's how it works. The player doesn't lose out, the losing club can now move on and the gaining club gets the player at a discounted rate. Everyone wins in a way Signing any player is a risk and the Dragons just have to cop this one so they can move on.
Team mares of lomax cant wait for him to leave
They cant stand him
His a rubbish person
The coaching team also dobr like him
He thinks his all that
Both terrible. Please find someone else
So many idiots in these comments with no perspective or understanding viewing this like the transaction of a car purchase smh. Gus is absolutely correct.
Danny’s sitting there looking at Gal thinking “how the f$&* did you have the intelligence to navigate your way around the footy field?”
Nrl boring game afl no.1 game in australia😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gus is wrong here because Lomax is quite literally taking a pay cut to go somewhere else. Also he is being hypocritical because otherwise that means he would still have TPJ on the cap for the dogs.
