Good player and good bloke and a class mate
Unbelievable effort in the 85 GF
Another Penshurst RSL junior and Peaky High boy who was in the same year as Chris Johns

I still keep wondering why the club website is the last to find out?

Because the people in the front office....
Are backward morons....

I know it is frustrating but to be fair there was some talk a year or two back that the club preferred waiting for the cooling off period after the signing to expire before making the official announcement. I don't think Ryan Webb deserves your description. After Doust especially Webb appears like a breath of fresh air.

Reported in this morning’s Telegragh.
George Burgess has signed a two-year contract with the St George Illawarra Dragons. He is on minimum wage but can make good money in a heavily incentivised contract.

If only all contracts were like that !! You wouldn't mind paying a player 700k if they deserved it and by the same token coming up to Norman and saying " here's 200k for your seasons efforts "

I like the concept, it's like a sales role with commission. Work hard, do well and you will make the extra coin $$
Under perform and your upside is limited.. Greedy player managers wont like it, but it could be a game changer. Would be hard to police the cap if everyone was on the same base.. but perhaps it could be capped at a threshold

I agree J.J. that there will be some very upset agents not getting their ‘ obligatory ‘ fair share of the players hard earned money , that involves so much blood , sweat and tears on the field .

Hope for his sake he was smart enough to not have the incentives based on wins.

Maybe its the number of BBQ's he attends, or the buns he is involved in.

Maybe Dufty should have given him a ring to see how to catch bombs

He's managed to keep his thespian aspirations on the lowdown.

He should be able to pull a few penalties, then.

I wonder if he has ever appeared in Macbeth. There's some eye-gouging in that, too.

Win-Win signing and if fit certainly an upgrade on at least 2 or 3 of the present FR's we have at present.

You forgot the dollar sign and the decimal point after the 2

Should fit in well

at present we have a whole team of actors attempting to impersonate footballers

He is certainly an upgrade on some of the plodders we have. It just depends on his fitness prognoses .
