South Sydney remain keen to retain Joseph Suaalii but have rejected the teenage prodigy’s demands for a new five-year deal that includes get-out clauses in his favour | proshenks SMHsport NRL

If the proposal had been accepted, the Kings School product would have had a lever to return to the 15-man game while still enjoying the security of a lucrative NRL deal as a fallback.

The unusual proposal was a counter to Souths’ initial three-year contract extension, which would have made the precocious fullback one of the highest-paid teens in Australian sporting history.Souths have knocked back Suaalii’s request and will now attempt to broker a new contract extension - the youngster is already signed to the Redfern-based club for 2021 - of three to four years.

The Rabbitohs are still hopeful of landing a deal, but have also re-signed Alex Johnson despite fears he could be squeezed out due to salary cap constraints. Suaalii is expected to make his NRL debut for Souths on the wing next year and then challenge Latrell Mitchell for the right to wear the No.1 jersey long term.

Players and clubs are becoming more creative with contracts in a bid to get deals done. The Tigers have tabled an offer to Josh Addo-Carr that triggers bonus payments if he plays more than half his games at fullback. The unique offering ensures the Storm star gets the chance to earn ‘fullback money’ but protects the club if his positional switch doesn’t work.

Five errors coronavirus 'armchair experts' keep getting wrongIt's easy to be taken in by misinformation about COVID-19 statistics on social media, especially if we don't have the right context, writes Jacques Raubenheimer. Except that this is yet again just one ‘expert’ whose views and analyses are different from the views and analyses of other ‘experts’ (who are possibly quite a bit better qualified than he is, now that I look at his academic credentials) I don't think much of the misinformation is accidental, I've witnessed mostly malicious & intentional. Even where ignorance might apply, it follows along an ideology by those that fake statistics. Social media needs only to remove/mark faked statistics so it doesn't perpetuate. Reads very much like a labor arse kissing post to me........have another shot I reckon.

Why not give them 2 years hard labour, in tough conditions with little pay and exploitative bosses. nickbonyhady GENUINE refugees I trust. Not Sudanese gang members. nickbonyhady Slave labour in exchange for residency? Everyone knows fruit picking pays shit money. Otherwise we’d all be out there doing it.
