    The Rumours Thread

    According to MC on NRL360 it may have been a weight clause that Schuster has breached. This is going to be very interesting because Schuster has been injured and could claim it as an impediment to reducing his weight and satisfying that clause. This could end up in court. If it gets really...

    Totally with you - he had enormous potential but looks like wasting it. Dragons stay away! I just read that Manly believe they can terminate his contract due to inability to meet performance clauses. If successful - i really don't think any other player would ever sign such a contract again!

    Shocking performance tonight. There are so many negatives about this team - too many to list. However, the most frightening is comparing our spine to the Tigers. They have a class hooker, a boom fullback, potentially a classy 5/8 and are getting another gun 5/8 possibly half in Jerome Lui. We...

    JDB - on a greatly reduced amount - Why? - he is our best player.

    Zac Lomax

    There is only one scenario that makes sense - the Dragons must have paid extra this year to rescind Zac contract for 2025/26. So instead of getting 800K this year Zac gets say 1M or more. We have to use cap space so it doesn't impact the Dragons. The benefit is surety of Cap usage next two...

    Does the NRL introduce a new kick-off rule?

    The NRL need to punish players who keep their eyes on the ball but make no effort to jump for it - its effectively tunneling and may result in a player breaking their neck?

    Does the NRL introduce a new kick-off rule?

    The NFL have just passed a new kick off rule to increase the number of kick returns and minimise big impact collisions. Given the NRL's desire to mitigate the effects of big impacts and improve player welfare, I strongly suspect we may see a similar rule change in the NRL. It may be as follows -...

    Dom Young is worth 800K. For a winger - absolutely. I would be stunned if he isn't getting that. Naturally in the Roosters cap he would be listed as 500K - 600K.

    Jack Wighton put a deliberate elbow on Sam Walker - play on. WTF! Sam Walker has a resultant Grade 1 concussion.

    We have to use 95% of the cap. So who cares if Zac is a 800K winger - if we are paying overs for him as a winger but that money is satisfying the 95% salary cap use rule - then its a great deal. Zac provides options. Braith and Buzz keep bringing it up - ulterior motives - 100%.

    R1 v Titans.

    Great team performance - the new coach's prints are all over it - tough uncompromising display.

    No to Reed Mahoney. Bulldogs won Jersey Flegg last year so they must have some real talent coming through - we should have targeted a couple of players in that team.

    Paul Kent's assessment of Sloan was 100% correct. You can't have a fullback that scores two tries but lets in 3.

    The Rumours Thread

    Scott Penn is lobbying hard for the NRL to let Manly & Roosters return to Vegas in 2025. Clearly Penn is courting the 49's to invest heavily in Manly & to fill his wallet. PVL please ensure your Sword is mightier than the Penn!

    Manly and Roosters are so desperate to go back to Vegas next year (both realise the monetary windfall involved) they have convinced Braith Anasta to push their wagon on NRL 360 on the basis as the two winning teams, they have earnt the right to go back. Braith you are better than this!

    No not arrogant - just first mover advantage. If you convert just 1M yanks(250K for each of the 4 teams) to fans and they each buy a membership $100 and jersey $100- that could be $50M to each team. The teams going next year can still capitalise but the teams going in years 3-5 will pick up much...

    I know we didn't apply - just highlighting how far we have fallen. Not convinced all teams will go within the 5 year timeframe. With 17 teams - 3 teams must go twice. However, it wouldn't surprise me if PLV restricts some of the lesser teams from going so as to not dilute the product.

    Finally - the jewel in the crown for the NRL's push into the USA is the NRLW. That would be an incredible product on American TV. There is nothing remotely like it for competition.

    As an impartial - both games in Vegas have been great - perfect advertisement for the NRL. Congrats to PVL/Abdo and all involved. The secret to getting a footprint in the US is to have games live on Fox1 or 2 during the sparse midnight - 6 am timeslot and having mini versions of all games on say...
