    Smh Team Previews

    Well they look to be in similar positions in terms of injury Hewitt would have a better chance because the Broncos have had up and down results from their wingers Dragons bought Lett on his background and known ability and they were surprised how well he went It is not a no brainer

    Smh Team Previews

    Same can be said for Hewitt One of Brett Morris or Jason Nightingale may miss out on first grade too That is not what the list was about I would have favoured Hewitt over Lett in the past but not as it stands Hamstrings are a big problem for Hewitt too

    Smh Team Previews

    Lett killed it on the weekend and has a good background Hewitt also wanted to go back to the Broncos So some personal part in that choice too Wicks did play well when he debuted but didnt put the work in last year Yes I would like to change my name but I have got no response about it

    Houston wasnt cheap The overall contract was triple what we guaranteed Smith would have taken Stanley in a heartbeat Naiqama will be a bargain Lulia isnt in the same galaxy as Whare

    Smh Team Previews

    Payne/Saffy Sims/Reynoldson Naiqama/Nightingale are debatable but the rest are clear cut retention decisions Those three match ups involve difficult injury and personal situations and also needs for the squad They will be good for their new clubs but they wouldnt have been good decisions for...

    Smh Team Previews

    The problem when you produce quality players under the salary cap is that other teams take them at premiums Then you have journalists writing lists like that and the blind supporters who fall for it :cool: No mention of the players promoted internally last year or the ones that will be...

    Centrebet odds

    That is what I was trying to say I think we had 6 of the finals teams playing each other this past weekend The overall squads are important Some SG Ball players wont be there until a third into the season Others will be away on rep duty at key times and some may even be elevated to first...

    Israel Folau, NSW or QLD?

    is more accurate than what you wrote Your comment would indicate that he signed in 2006 and not 2004 On the same page http://www.ourfootyteam.com/schoolboys_qld_07_israel_falou.php the SMH and Daily Telegraph say Australian championships Herald Sun says Queensland championships I made a...

    2008 Season Guide

    I dont see why the criticism The main problem here is what you think a guide should be Its semantics ](*,) The guide and preview differences have been outlined The guide did have some text about players a few years ago but given the space it was simplistic for any general NRL fan Its fine...

    Competition to be televised?

    Saturday 5.30 hasnt been the worse game of the round for a few years now It is now in the top three fox sports games weekly because they need a strong start to Super Saturday See Eels and Dogs Roosters and Storm in the first three rounds Sometimes it does end up as the worst game because of...

    Saints 'Strapped for cash'

    Well how about Kite had to go because we couldnt keep both he and Ryles in a situation where Kite was worth twenty thousand in 2002 and towards four hundred thousand in 2004 I indicate one for one decisions because at least you can make approximations It is much harder to draw out what...

    Saints 'Strapped for cash'

    Saints 'Strapped for cash'

    Im not missing anything Those players were extras that the salary cap allows and they didnt stand in the way of anyone Who did they stand in the way of You would name them if you could They are signed because we have the ability under the system in place and likely as other players need time...

    Saints 'Strapped for cash'

    Im fine but it bears out the red herring that you posted in order to sidetrack the discussion :p I know what you are trying to say but it is wishful thinking in trying to prove a case against them I hope that is not your best example Gorrell did not want to be anything but the number one...

    Saints 'Strapped for cash'

    Yet you still focus on what doesnt matter and not look at what was written You know there is a salary cap and that would be less them half a million signed versus in the vicinity of two million for the new contracts the players leaving signed I would also say Best was a good signing for 2005...
