    Rumoured Signings

    If its fully funded by the NRL grant then it's not making good use of that money by paying $635,000 for a player not playing for your team.

    Rumoured Signings

    I see the Dragons are eyeing Andrew Fifita. If the move was to happen the Sharks would have to subside a portion of the contract. Its been speculated about half. Fifita is on $800 000 this year and next year as well reportedly. I hope it doesn't happen. I'm kind over these Sydney clubs crying...

    CTE

    Former NFL player Ray Lewis made similar comments in this clip below. I'm not sure there would be too many NFL players that would agree with him. I tend to think NFL may potentially go the way of boxing with lower participation rates. I would hate if Rugby league went the same way but I'm not...

    Rumoured Signings

    Nathan Peats signed with Leigh Centurions for the 2021 Super League season. The fact he played for NSW in 2017 its a steep fall that he couldn't secure a contract in the NRL. Some may point to Josh Reynolds, but Reynolds would have had interest from NRL teams but just not on the ridiculous...

    2021 R3 Fri - St Geo Illa 38-12 Manly @ WIN

    I see Ben Hunt has received great reviews from his performance last weekend. He has to do it against tougher competition though. Before there is any talk about Hunt or the Dragons turning the corner. A win against Manly would help, but the jury may be still out as Manly has their struggles at...

    CTE

    Complete overreach. The popularity of boxing declined from its Golden years of Muhammad Ali and participation rates plummeted from the well known health effects from boxing. It doesn't mean the sport doesn't exist though. Even the health experts would acknowledge Rugby League is not in the...

    $1million forwards, are they worth it?

    Darren Lockyer made the interesting suggestion the other day of bringing Jason Taumalolo off the bench as impact player. They need to try something because 'the great metres Taumalolo makes per game' will get old if they keep losing. Unfortunately we won't know anytime soon because he is out for...

    2021 R2 Fri - Gold Coast 28-16 Brisbane @ Cbus Super

    Titans have to be careful. I must admit I was a fan of their late season performances and was expecting more from them last Saturday. Critics have said there late season form was due to lack of pressure and expectation where they were placed on the table. Another loss and its going to give...

    2021 R2 Sat - Manly 12-26 South Sydney @ Lottoland

    Wayne Bennett should start Jai Arrow in my opinion. It seemed the other night they that Souths were getting blown off the paddock by the Storm. Wayne Bennett quite rightly pressed the panic button bringing Benji Marshall and Arrow on earlier then usual. Souths did settle down a bit after that.

    Danny Weidler said last night on 100% Footy that Des Hasler will likely being staying. Manly about to announce a two year extension but it will have some performances clauses. If Manly did give Hasler the flick. The only other coach I could think of is reaching back to past again with Geoff...

    Opinion Joseph Suaalii is being set up to fail

    I think its a poor decision. All its now going to do is someone else will apply for a similar exemption be turned down and bring the but 'he got the exemption why not me'. It will bring in the favoritism conspiracy theories as well. I would be just happy to scrap the exemption rule and make a...

    Des Hasler in his last year of his contract. If Manly don't get there act together this year then it maybe his last. Manly and Hasler have been haggerring over an extension. Hasler wants a three year contract extension. Manly want a contract with a year to year provision where Hasler can be...

    $1million forwards, are they worth it?

    Garth Brennan's fabulous work with the recruitment he did at the Titans. If they just had given him more time I think he was in the midst of building something (Cartwright, Latu, Peachey, Shannon Boyd etc)......

    $1million forwards, are they worth it?

    The obvious is they have only played one regular season game with the Titans. Its a bit early for the knives to be out. But the Titans can't afford to get slow out of the blocks again this year. The argument from critics is their late run last season came on the back of no pressure and no...

    $1million forwards, are they worth it?

    The Cowboys have been rubbish for a couple of years though. Rightly or wrongly whether that's Taumalolo fault it isn't necessary the point. Phil Gould has said that the players who are earning more than $700,000 per year must contribute to a '60-70% win ratio'. If the Cowboys again falter...

    $1million forwards, are they worth it?

    I remember Terry Kennedy said a couple of years on the Footy Show. That he heard on the grapevine there was an opt out for Jason Taumalolo here, and there was an opt out clause for the Cowboys there. He suggested it wasn't a 10 year contract that either party was completely locked into on the...

    2021 R1 Thu - Melbourne 26-18 South Sydney @ AAMI

    It hasn't been mentioned but Jai Arrow coming off the bench. Considering he was a big signing for Souths its interesting. I presume this maybe just Bennett slowly working him into the side. Because he wouldn't be coming off the bench at the Titans.

    Opinion Joseph Suaalii is being set up to fail

    This is it in a nutshell why the exemption is a dumb idea and sets a precedent. Ben Ikin and Josh Hannay suffered terrible injuries during their careers. There was a view because they played first grade football too young and there body's hadn't completely developed which was the cause from it.

    Tim Gilbert...

    Its funny but I saw him today presenting a news report for coverage of the WA state election on a clip on the Sky news website. I at first was wondering if it was him because it was a different medium to what I was used to seeing him. But I looked him up and sure enough it was him as he moved to...
