lol timing

I heard the issue has been ongoing for quite sometime and that's the reason why he's always notoriously late from his trips... There are also problems with Manu Mau, regardless of whether we're responsible or not it something that needs to be sorted or we'll lose these blokes.

If they want more than we're offering then we'll replace them. When their contracts run out.

No he's contracted till the end of 17
Cool.

These guys (and their management) having a cow about their TPAs can be patient - if Grant has decided TPA are under our cap, then they will be paid. They just have to understand that under the circumstances of this year, the changed arrangements might mean a little extra time for the Club to action these additional payments.

But what can the club do if we can't guarantee TPA's???

And if that's why he took of, he and his manager are just blatant liars. There's been no mention of missing money by his manager in all this.

So IF you don't know the facts why call the bloke a "prick"? ... based on a article written by a journalist whom we all know as not credible.

They might have been promised but not guaranteed. Meaning the NRL were unable to count them under the cap (thank f**k).

Because, IMO, he's taking the piss. The whole Fiji time, missing deadlines, missing training while his teammates slug it out, it doesn't sit well with me, regardless of the issue

Btw, semi is a footballer, he's not gonna know nor care that we shouldn't be responsible with arranging TPAs.... It's just the way things are at the moment

Wel um!! ... Thanks to certain f**kwits this is how we're disadvantaged which means he probably sign at the broncs for about 200k in 2018 lol
Semi will probably end up paying the Broncos to play for them, it's not fair poor buggers have no depth....

Hayne is 4 times the player that massive log Falonk is, would walk into the fullback spot fully fit.

Like him or not (and the game, for that matter), Folau has become a very good RU fullback. Probably second only to Israel Dagg. Hayne is the better player on raw skills but as an RU fullback Folau has him covered because ball playing is pretty much irrelevant. Plus Cheika loves Izzy so I can't see him moving him for Hayne.

Jarryd is a perfect inside centre...play making ability, a solid defender, powerful runner...but the issue is he would have to learn the role. And tbh the ARU can't match what France or Japan would offer for the same role, especially given they have three inside centres in the Wallabies system already.
