    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    It already happens in the Qld Cup, it is not a big deal and dual registered players are FIFO for games when not required by first grade. Melbourne has an affiliate in Brisbane and another on the Sunshine Coast, the latter of who nearly linked with the Bulldogs and were originally Manly's feeder...

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    :lol:Lol, Smith from day dot never supported expansion, to the point of being refered to in the media as 'anti-expansion'. He always maintained that the current clubs were the priority. There's an interview by Mark Scott on YouTube after Smith's first year saying as much. However there's...

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    they don't have to share affiliate sides, it's based on the minor league baseball where geography doesn't restrict where the affiliate side is located.

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    Players can't debut until they are 18 right now. It's not motivated by safety but welfare to keep them at home longer.

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    Most clubs would use on average 30 players a season, the other six are rookies. Platinum league is just the name been given for the discussion paper, it's a placeholder.

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    Expanding the NRL squads increases the quality of the player pool as well as raising the quality of the second tier. The influence behind the remodeled NSW Cup is to broaden the reach of the second tier, giving areas that may never have NRL teams a team, fiji & wellington will probably have...

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    it is a draft proposal, that is probably why it has come out now rather than late january/feb as Grant had said a few weeks ago. They are probably just going through a consultation phase now because the dinosaurs were getting all excited again, the real detail won't come until it's been all...

    World All Stars

    They were never going to, it's called the NRL World AllStars, they obviously f**ked up and thought Graham was the England captain.

    World All Stars

    Its pretty unfair on Maranta as well, should have picked Nikorima, at least that would have given NZ 4 selections. I can accept McDonald since hes at least a PNG rep.

    World All Stars

    They could have easily come up with players from other nations instead of picking Hodkinson, Croker, & Maranta.

    World All Stars

    Strong indigenous side. AllStars has a very loose definition when Maranta & McDonald make the side. No Johnson, No Milford Bennett looking out for Broncos. http://www.nrl.com/teams-named-for-nrl-all-stars-match/tabid/10874/newsid/91188/default.aspx

    Rumoured Signings - 2015/2016.

    it is the year they turn 19, not 19, so a player could still debut at 18.

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    You can aim as low as you want, rugby league will still find a way to disappoint. I don't mind the concept, but to do it properly means blowing up what we already have and I doubt the NRL's ability to sell it.

    NRL rebellion: Rugby league clubs want CEO Dave Smith gone or threaten to leave comp

    love how it starts off with concern for 'league communities' then quotes paranoid dinosaurs complaining it's about eroding their influence :lol The NRL obviously want a draft, which means decoupling development from NRL clubs and making them franchises, good in theory, but too messy to ever...
