Australian NRL fans have to witness this boring game just to ensure Brisbane have their mandatory friday night game.

Supercoach players just sighed out loud. Parker replaced after 20 minutes. Sign of the times for the veteran who is a 80 minute player in the backrow?

The Donkeys are all over the pups.

And that was an obvious knockon.

Yes because the TV rights deal doesn't have any stipulations that the NRL only gets paid providing they are delivering their product.

They could just shut down for weeks and channel 9 and foxsports would keep paying them :sarcasm:
Obviously the NRL wouldn't get paid if the failure to deliver the product was their fault. But if it was for example a player strike responsding to a decision the NRL is entitled to make, that would not be enough to stop the money.

The only way a player strike would work is if it was done before a new deal was signed. And even then the NRL would have a lot more time to fight than the players would.

You'd be surprised by how many players would be struggling within a week or two of the money stopping.
Fmd !! This is like state cup compared to last nights game :(

The difference between 2 potential top 2 teams and these two that are likely to be around 9-10th.

Only 100 mins in and there is bad signs that the refs are going to ruin this season. Just blowing the pea out of the whistle for pedantic nonsense while still missing blatant penalties and offences.

So just let them go free for all? No penalties?

Donkeys will win by as many as they want here.

The Dogs were in the redzone just then and half of them were grouped in the middle of the field standing still. Awful.

Just like all those punch drunk boxers have sent that sport to the wall, right? And all those old NHL players have killed professional hockey...

You can only sue if you can prove that there was negligence. The NFL for example are in the shit because there were studies done into their game which they dismissed. There is no such problem here as we've had a ban on head contact (what the NFL didn't have, and now do) for generations.

I'm going to stop arguing with you now because to be honest it is completely pointless conversing with you

The NRL has had legal advice saying the shoulder charge was making them legally vulnerable. They would not have banned it if it wasn't absolutely necessary.
