Having sbw and quade in the nrl would be great.. they are huge stars..
Nrl should be helping the roosters get these guys.. I'd allow cap concessions to sign those two.

It's be really funny if Princess Quade signed for the Roosters thinking SBW was coming as well and then SBW pulled the pin on the limp fish handshale deal.

:lol:

Not gonna happen - these two bum boys are going to hold hands wherever they go from now on.

Is this a ruse by SBW to avoid going to the Roosters but not look like he reneged on an agreement yet again?

Frankly all this BS that he came out with saying "I have to honour a handshake" didn't paint him in quite the "honourable" light that he thought it would (or that Khoder thought it would)

If he said nothing and didn't come back to the NRL nobody would be any the wiser (nor frankly give a shit)

If SBW wants out its because of the money.. nrl should pay for 50% of his contract for the roosters..
And that 50% should be cap concession.

Only the roosters get it to lure SBW.. if another club wants to lure quade they can get the same concession.
Nrl should have done this already.. these guys should be playing in the nrl.

There should definitely be some kind of marquee player concession. And having the NRL pay a chunk of that isn't a bad idea considering the $ they now have

The NRL should just make any player who's played international yawnion exempt from the cap for the first 3 years of being signed. Include Folau & Hunt in that too. If they fail in those 3 years, we get rid of em. We should just sign all their good athletes, and smash yawnion completely...then we can turn our attention to beating AFL (in Australia).

Seriously you think it is fair to give the roosters a salary cap consession to get someone who already shat on league? You sound liek an afl supporter, they have salary cap differences.

Please , why should the NRL do that ? why should other clubs think this fair ?
I can only understand NRL doing this IF and when we have NEW clubs who need help in their first couple of years. Then the money should be used not to lure players from other NRL clubs but like this to lure talent from Union , Superleague and perhaps AFL and even American football>

however for Roosters , forget it , let them work to their salary cap like all other clubs.
