The experiment is over for now.

The experiment is over for now.

Might just be because we are playing the team running third whereas yesterday we played a team down near the bottom.

I reckon if the NYC had lost yesterday they would have been very pissed off at sending a few players to NSW Cup.

 

[Twizzle]

yeh, I tend to agree Poops

taking this week more seriously

 

[Captain BF]

I saw Corey Makelin after the game with crutches. Didn't seem to be limping though.

Whose crutches?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I just read that the Roosters' recent SG Ball title was their third in seven years.

Why would they bother poaching under 18s players if junior development wasn't so important?

 

[Maroubra Eel]

A lady I work with has a son in that team.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Is she from Queensland or New Zealand?

What's the salary cap on SG ball Pou??

NYC is quite low, and most of the really, really good 18 year olds go on to tier 2, or top 25 deals when they graduate from NYC. They're more likely to stay at the club they are currently at for the same $$ rather than change clubs.

Would it surprise anyone if we found out the Chooks spent more $$ on SG ball than anyone else?

I don't think there is a cap on your Junior Representatives. I wouldn't be surprised either, it's a sure way to get cheap back-up players and if you already have them in your system they are easier to be retained.

Ala Melbourne when they were getting an extra 8 million from the NRL. But but but we developed all these players.......

And then when someone tried to sign them to bring them back to Sydney (or Queensland), Melbourne offered sneaky second contracts to stay at the Storm.

Totally legit

There isn't a legitimate Ball Cap that said the The NYC cap is 250k for the top 20 NYC "eligible" players. Given players are "eligible" to play NYC from the age of 17 this would cover year young and right age SG Ball players. Hence all players in ball would fall under the NYC cap if they were in the top 20 paid players aged 17-20 whether they play or not.

Yes, I've often thought that. The first person who can patent one will be a billionaire.

Interesting. Cheers mate.

Disagree.

NYC eligible covers upper age range, not lower.

If they are not part of the NYC '20 players' (that is, they don't play in the NYC at all), then they do not count against the NYC cap.

It is completely rortable for lower end age players.
