yeah crap decision which hurt the knights but lets be honest the bunker has been good so far

It is a system no different than any other.The first time they made a blunder,this system was made redundant.

Make it simple and give full control to the refs.They make a mistake,everyone should live by that.

But unfortunately the bunker won't be retired due to an obvious agreement with a Chicken Fast Food provider in getting in as many ads on the screen during a "No ad break" game.

More tries that go to the bunker,the happier Colonel Sanders will be.

Thats a joke right?

Nope, dead serious. They are shopping Aku to try to re-sign stars like Robbie Rochow.

The market is set by the teams spending millions over the cap. We can't spend a cent over it, but have to pay our "better" players what they would make elsewhere to keep them. Hence we are running out a dozen players who probably wouldn't make the 17 at any other club.

Welcome to the new NRL, as a Knights fan it's awesome.

Knights and Raiders have similar challenges but we can sign players.

BM your boys look great in attack so far this year.

Lots of pleasing signs. I think losing Luke and Dylan Walker might be a blessing in disguise. They're replaced by players like Damien Cook and Cody Walker who are very hungry. And of course Sam Burgess, I think some people forgot just how good he is.

On the other hand before I get carried away I want to see us play this way against the Broncos or Cowboys.

Madge had taken the leash off for off loading it seems

I hate to say it but we look a bit Broncos like in some ways. Running halves and particularly the way Sam plays now, backing into the line then off loading is very Corey Parker like

That's a recent thing though. Wasn't long ago we were having to pay overs to keep our guys as well, which locked us out of the market. I think we've figured out the TPA rorts as well, which the Knights cant do as the NRL control them.

Absolutely but the more teams playing good attacking football the better.

Yep, complete coincidence that you can sign players since Ricky managed to manufacture some TPAs.

I'm sure that has nothing to do with it, it's just that early 20s blokes want to live in Canberra.
