    Got a nice little ESL career ahead of him. :D

    Can the Tigers win the comp?

    I'd say in previous years, how come we don't ever seem to get a home game against Brisbane, so I guess it's evened out this year.

    Simon Dwyer is League's Secret Shame

    The result is the same though, he can't play footy and is quite limited to jobs that he can perform with one working arm and hours per week (assumed) rehabbing the injury. Not wanting to take anything away from the McKinnon case, but there just need to be a fund and more support. I agree there...

    Benji Marshall

    So glad we've dodged a bullet in having him off our books, worked out best for us. Still can't work out why we have to pay him $20k a year though.

    Simon Dwyer is League's Secret Shame

    You make some fair points. ARLC runs the NRL right? Does the RLIF run the ARLC ? Seems not.

    Simon Dwyer is League's Secret Shame

    Who's saying job for life? * A fund for permanent injury * Subsidise any available jobs at clubs * A player welfare officer to call them once a month to see how they are going It's not asking too much, in return for them putting their bodies on the line for entertainment/business.

    Simon Dwyer is League's Secret Shame

    So you don't think they should be compensated for their injuries suffered by a sport that receives a billion dollar TV rights deal etc ? They're already underpaid for their duties this just tops it off nicely.

    Simon Dwyer is League's Secret Shame

    The fact no one from RL has contacted him is probably the more disturbing thing, money is one thing but to b just forgotten about like that is pretty poor really, the NRL should be helping the Tigers to employ him as much as they can even if it's say a 50% subsidy. I'd rather no GF pre match...

    Simon Dwyer is League's Secret Shame

    MadUnit, i think that the spirit of that arrangement should still be in place, in a more advanced form... its 100 years on surely the game should have something in place by now instead of ad-hoc support it has now..

    Can't believe how much sense BunniesMan is talking in this thread.

    Simon Dwyer is League's Secret Shame

    Precisely, this is a big part of the reason we broke away from Rugby Union over 100 years ago. Got to get a NRL ran and and funded Permanent Injury Fund up and running. Shouldn't have to [ay a cent in medical bills and if cannot be gainfully employed they should receive ongoing financial...

    WWE SuperThread *Spoilers*

    Anyone else see Ziggler turning heel this coming week with Hugh Jackman appearing on RAW? Could be a good opponent for Bryan.

    WWE Extreme Rules 2014

    I say we hold out for the $300k

    Ref Watch 2014 (aka the Skeepe Thread)

    Exactly.. That muppet Gower ran into his leg as Brooks was heading off towards the ball carrier, the fact he was taken out lead to Lawrence having to come in and not handle Hoppa. Obstruction any day of the week, the fact they got it wrong on Fri night shouldn't come into account on Monday...

    Permanent fixtures

    Newcastle vs Manly at Newcastle on Queens Birthday weekend. Could get 30K.

    No Adam Blair next season please

    Bad miss tackle yes, but that can happen to anyone when on the back foot like we were all 2nd half. Agree with the bench / prop rotation being the cause, still don't rate him though.
