I'm sure Gardner is claiming his Large salary for all his positions!
He isn't working for free.

Iinteresting quote from Chammas.
“I think there’s unrest there. I don’t think Andre Ponga would have done this lightly, to go to the NRL, and as I said, there’s some details that we can’t say at the moment that will come to light over the next 24-48 hours that are quite significant.” Veteran Nine commentator and Bulldogs head of football Phil Gould also weighed in on the drama and said getting to the bottom of the nature of the third-party sponsorship deal was crucial.

Yeah but Chammas seemed a bit lost as to what he was talking about when he said all that lol.
I read the Chammas article that was posted halfa ago, alot of it was directed at Cannavo. They had a similar article directed at his role last year. It really seems the Sydney media have a hard on for him and like to bring him up once or twice a year as a polarizing figure.

He actually had a solid season, compared to previous years. No star, but solidIm sure it’s only a coincidence there is a player in the Knights junior system with that name

Being a TPA Gardiner wouldn't be able to be involves as a club representative would he?

Depends if you believe the fairytale that TPA's are separate to clubs!

I’d imagine there’d be a guy at every club that can put you in contact with companies that have approached the club willing to negotiate a sponsorship deal. Maybe that’s as far as it goes for most.

There are a lot of "developers" in the Newcastle area who push the envelope when it comes to business ethics. Gardiner isn't one of them, but he certainly knows them and seems to be on friendly terms with them.
Andre got sick of being jerked around by the white shoe brigade after 4 years, and now the money has been paid.
Result.

Agreed but jumping in at that point would be pretty obvious and put the club at risk wouldnt it?

Roosters pulled fifitas deal overnight, coincidence?
If any of that is true regarding zammit and ponga snr meeting on the weekend coupled with the roosters pulling the fifita deal last night apparently... Doesnt look good from here.
All resolved
Still hasn’t stopped Fox from going to town trying to create more drama though

Zammit/Andre are friends, they obviously go way back. No substance i reckon.

Yeah and KP was in hospital down in Sydney getting his foot surgery. A catch up isn’t out of the ordinary.

After my initial knee jerk reaction towards Andre' who I still can't stand, in this instance he definitely had the right to kick up a stink, $250k is no small pocket change and was clearly getting the run around.
Re Kalyn leaving, no chance. A) He loves the place. B) He loves the place.
Give it a week all this will be forgotten and LOL @ the who's who article in foxsports, more faery tales from their credible journos.

ask any player about his current club at contract time and generally, love that place, wants to stay, they are sure a deal will be done, up to the manager...
Nek Minit.
Anyway, if KP wants out no point forcing him to stay, too much salary cap tied up in a player who doesn't want to be here.
The whole kp leaving though seems more like media adding 1+1 and getting 3.

I have never liked Zammit and I’ve always despised, fox, newscorp, Murdoch so when they nicknamed him “the virus” I wondered if my judgement of Zammit was being over zealous in my hatred.
Nothing will have you second guessing the truth quite like seeing it in those trash tabloids. I used to laugh at my mother with her love of Woman’s Day but it’s got nothing on SpewsCorp fairy tales.
