[84 Baby]

Do these ring ins come under salary cap? What would happen if they won the tournament then were found guilty of cap breaches?

 

[84 Baby]

And I smell a feelgood Origin recall this year for one K. Gidley

 

[T.S Quint]

Where’s our retired player coming back for this tournament?

Was just thinking Moimoi would have been a beast in this form of the game at his best.
