Storm look to be very short of players this year having lost a few and now with some injuries, so I doubt they come up with an offer of a decent first grader now. Likely they increase the Matto subsidy if anything

While PVL and the NRL executive have done fantastic commercially for the game,
They have also done great in other areas. Expansion being the most obvious. Sensible rule changes another.
and people can have their own opinion of whether the game is better now or when they grew up watching it,
The game on the field is better now (via 6 again I guess) than it was before PVL became the man. But it is not even close to recovered from the assault at the hands of the coaches over the last 25 years with neglect of attack and obsession with defense and negative tactics and structure. We need way more heads-up play in defense and attack. There should be so much of it that it doesn't even have a name any more. We should here the phrase heads down play.
it just seems the difference between the haves and have nots is widening,
We need a rookie draft.
standard of refereeing is getting worse,
That is just TV replays /commentators/coaches. Go back and look at the refereening in the 80s GFs etc. The howler misses from refs never got mentioned.
more bias towards favoured clubs and players,
The Eels need to become one of these clubs...and also bring in a draft.

Justice Kunc said the hearing would begin at 2pm, even if the negotiations were still ongoing.

Wish I was an insect sometimes...

So who can check legal records to see if it got under way or not? The suspense is killing me.

PS Its disgraceful if the NRL has pressured them into this "negotiation" rather than going to court. Parra fans want compensation, as we are legally entitled too. The longer we have no news the more I feel we get done over in an attempt to appease the NRL.

Back in negotiations.
I’ll throw it out there that I reckon the extension is waiting on a player from Melbourne agreeing to come to us, and maybe Matterson agreeing to release
