SRAMA SET TO BACKFLIP ON ROOSTERS DEAL | By Rugby League Week LIVEWIRE hooker Matt Srama looks set to turn his back on a move to the Roosters and remain with the Gold Coast Titans. Last week the 23-year-old agreed to terms to join the Sydney-based franchise on a one-year deal following a meeting with Titans head coach Neil Henry who informed Srama he would be released from the final year of his contract. However, Srama has since decided to turn his back on that deal and is reportedly demanding the Titans honour the final year of his contract which is believed to be in the vicinity of $200,000. Srama has been seen training with the club the past week with Titans CEO Graham Annesley admitting the club would honour the contract if no alternate deal can be agreed on. “Nothing has changed from our point of view in that Matt has been provided with the opportunity to look for another club by our coach Neil Henry,” Annesley told the Gold Coast Bulletin. “However, until he accepts an alternate offer he remains contracted to us and the terms and conditions of his contract will of course be honoured. “The Roosters, and the Titans, thought a deal had been agreed last week but Matt ultimately decided not to sign. “You would have to ask the Roosters, Matt or his manager where negotiations currently stand. “In the meantime he will continue to train with our squad as a contracted player.” Roosters CEO Brian Canavan reiterated the club’s stance on the matter stating the original deal for 2015 is still on the table if Srama is willing to accept it. “We’d love to have him at the club for 2015 but we’re aware there’s an issue he has to resolve with the Titans for 2016,” Canavan told the Bulletin. “There’s no deadline for us but we’d like it resolved as soon as possible because we’re underway with training like the Titans are too. “We’re very keen to have him in here because he’s highly-rated on and off the field.” Source: rugbyleagueweek.au/srama-set-backflip-roosters-deal/
