Folau turns back on Eels to play rugby union

[bartman]

*shrugs* No harm in being honest.

NRL said no the Folau salary cap increase deal.

Rabbitohs waiting to sign him if we don't shed players.

If Souths sign him then I give up.

 

[natheel]

how the f**k are we unable to sign him but souths can? if that happens then the NRL salary cap is a farce

 

[slammingsam]

I'd be very surprised if Souths had 400k lying around.

 

[unbreaK]

I hope one of those teams does sign him up, Maroons could use him come Origin time :-D

yep

Inglis
Burgess
Asotasi
Luke
Crocker
Te'o
Sutton
Lima

all these guys would be on either massive contracts or higher paid contracts compared to the rest of the squad could even throw in Merrett.

Inglis, Burgess and Luke sucking up most of the cap.

Really can't see many teams having that money left over at this stage.

Just hard for us to shed players with pre-season already kicked off. Maybe once xmas comes back we will see some blokes go...but this article could be a pressure to put on us to shed players...

If Souths sign him then we know the $400,000 value part is bullshit.

What is happening with the tonga to England rumour ? They should be doing everything they can to get that deal over the line ... Supposedly on 300 k a year . Plus our 150 k available.

 

[Jake the snake]

This is getting really embarrassing.

 

[ROGUE]

Shed some farkin players.

 

[strider]

what if we agree to play only 16 players every game and have 1 designated bike rider

we could probably agree to play with only 12 on the field ..... and we'd still do better than last year

I've been told that Souths are trying to move Asotasi on to fit izzy in... It looks like the NRL will get their wish and we'll pick up the spoon again.

So the club must move on players. No use sooking about another club being able to do it.

 

[byrner]

If you are talking about the salary cap, souths are way under. Itz their freezer doors which are tight.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree

 

[The Elephant In The room]

Given there's a club CEO meeting tomorrow (per Don Furner on the BSB) regarding a possible increase in the cap above $5m for 2013, I'm not giving up yet.

That would work.

The NRL is a joke

Done deal. Just have to wait for the NRL to stop worrying about Hindy's book.

Oh f**k we are screwed... :crazy:
