    2021 RLWC (A) Wk1 - ENG 60-6 SAM @ Newcastle

    It works though. I reckon Catalans get 4 points a game from other teams’ ill discipline having been wound up by him 😃

    News Curtis Scott

    What a grubby club. Scott clearly is no angel, and has his issues, but the way the club have thrown sh*t at him - confidential sh*t - after chucking him out of the door says everything about the culture of that organisation. We saw it with Williams, and this is that x10. No wonder senior pros...

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    “His lies” 😂😂😂 He said he wanted to go home; he’s going home. You lot would buy London Bridge if Ricky was selling it

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    Mate I was being sarcastic - he was never going to the Gold Coast or anywhere else sunny, as he’s always said, he wanted a release back to the UK to keep his missus happy; just Sticky’s compliant media chums and bitter Canberra fans that thought owt different... Personally I think he’s making...

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    Has he signed for the Titans then? Struggling with your logic son, he’s said the family want to go home, he’s clearly going home Unlike you I suspect, some of us have actually lived and worked around the globe, and having done that move amongst others I can promise you it takes more than a few...

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    Has he signed for the Titans on the beach yet? ...oh no, he seems to have agreed a reasonable settlement and will be moving back to the UK, because his pregnant missus wants to, even though he probably prefers to stay in the NRL: That’s what a real man does. Plastic macho posturers on the other...

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    He’s on holiday you donut He’s going back to the UK, because his missus wants to, like he’s always said. Canberra threw a toddler strop, like the inferiority-complex small provincial outfit they are, and treated him like sh** damaging their employer brand immediately. Lovely behaviour, and well...

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    There’s sod all evidence of this. Lads like that tend to stay in Wigan, get free drinks for life, and win medals. This lad had the bollocks to move to the other side of the world, on an under-valued contract (let’s be honest that’s Canberra’s recruit/reward strategy here), and test himself. His...

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    Exactly. They like to present it as the pommies have form in this, but really it’s Raiders who’ve a recent history of not engaging in reasonable dialogue. It’s almost like they’ve a short-tempered coach with an ego the size of a house and a messiah complex. Hmmm....

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    It’s pretty obvious the “move to Sydney” thing, if it ever was a thing, preceded his bird getting pregnant which led to the “need to go home” issue. Like I say, if it’s even a thing and not a Sticky media mates bullshit line. There’s no release > Sydney angle, it would never fly (and have been...

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    Is this 1979? The idea that you’ve got to show all your other (and future) staff that you’ll always stand firm, ‘pour encourager les autres’ and all that macho crap, is nuts. Such old school thinking. Canberra’s issue isn’t deterring other current players from looking for some flexibility in...

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    Exactly, it’s made up super-convenient nonsense... that the deluded “my clubs right even when it’s wrong” crowd are chomping right up :joy: Any release would’ve had a non-NRL club clause so it’s transparently nonsense

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    I’m struggling to see how you don’t understand this, and then I realised you probably do but you’re just being wilfully obtuse ‘cos Williams has annoyed ya. Fair do’s. Doesn’t work legally though, sorry fella. He didn’t ask for an immediate release. He asked if the club would consider...

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    It doesn’t make any difference what industry it is. It’s not reasonable, and certainly not legal, to dismiss someone without notice for calling in sick. Even if the proper process wasn’t followed (and we don’t know it wasn’t)

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    Show me an employer who sacks someone for ringing in sick once, and I’ll show you someone who 1) nobody else will work for and 2) is breaking the law

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    He’s not signing it. If they then don’t continue to pay him, then they will have broken his contract. If I have a 6 month notice period with my employer (which I do), and ask to leave sooner than that by agreement but without actually resigning (just ask a question), then they can’t just stop...

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    Exactly this, it’s not rocket science is it? Either way, just because somebody has asked to renegotiate the terms of their contract, and then called in sick, doesn’t give the employer the right to unilaterally break that contract. That’s not how the law works, no matter how much Furner would...

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    So the NRL bangs on about “mental health” etc etc etc... and then when a player wrestled with a really hard situation, pregnant missus 10’s of thousands of miles from home and family, says he needs a few days of work ‘cos he’s got his priorities stress, and a club cancels his contract that day &...

    News We Stand With Mose Donor Appeal

    Such a strong family, I’ve been amazed by how they’ve approached this whole challenge. Lovely how the RL community have rallied around too. I was so optimistic a few months ago, because he’s done such an amazing job, but watching that doc has re-set my expectations - they’ve such a challenging...

    It's not too late!!

    How many Aussies would come to international games if England had totally dominated you for over 30 years? The fact we still get the crowds we do is as good a demonstration of the depth and resilience of our support as you'll ever get. In contrast Australia has the strongest side, and League...
