Corey Oates, Josh Aloiai, Zane Tetevano and Kenny Bromwich seem to be the pick of the off contract merkins.

Well, that presumes that the case will still be unresolved at the end of the season. Obviously it won't go to court before then, but that's not always the way these things end.

Former Kiwis captain Quentin Pongia has died after an ongoing battle with cancer.

The former New Zealand test front-rower underwent surgery last November to remove a bowel tumour, following which he told nine.com.au: "I'm on the mend now and pray I can overcome this moving forward."

However, New Zealand Rugby League chief executive Greg Peters confirmed to the Heraldthey received the news of his death today.

"He's had cancer for sometime, as most people would know, and it's just finally, unfortunately taken him," Peters said.


"He was an icon of the game, a great bloke and a fearless player. He had a huge identity in the game during his playing career and it's just really tragic to see cancer take another great man way too early."

Pretty sure that he is on the back end of a marriage split, so he has a lot on his plate. Being in full time care will help him find his feet. It's a shame that the Bunnies had to release this to head off the sleazy journos jumping all over it.

I just had an idea to speed up the game
get the bunker to check every putdown as soon as a try is scored

that way if there's a fumble they can tell the ref immediately and it saves lost time

how often has the ref sent a try up checking for interference or whatever they clear that then find out it was a knock-on anyway

Interference would mean a penalty though. A fumble wouldn't. So they still need to check it.

Surely they shouldn’t accrue competition points then.
I can’t find the times we lost points but who remembers when there was a spate of these

if the bunker had already checked the putdown then as soon as the interference was cleared they could immediately award the try
