King Sonny Bill may return to the NRL... Which club should he join?

[BadnMean]

Didn't the Raiders trainer almost get involved in an almost exact situation in the second half?

Accidents happen.

So your argument is that the Raiders trainer didn't get involved in that situation?

That's a very strong position to defend.

 

[Mr Spock!]

A journo should ask Sonny what he thinks about homosexuals.

That’s a very good question to ask

 

[edabomb]

NRL are really making strides. They're now transparent about how rigged the system is.

 

[Mr Spock!]

May as well bring him in.

There's only 4 teams in this comp and the only interest is if teams can put on 50+ against the others.

Market value is bullshit.

A players worth is what he's offered. The nrl should have no say in that. How would you figure it out anyway? A players worth is different between clubs. Teenage Ponga value at the knights was way different to the Cowboys for example. Newcastle had years of the spoon, they had no class spine players and they needed a big signing to make them seem attractive. Cowboys had an establishes team fresh of a premiership, and established players in 1,6,7.

If a player wants to play for less let him. SBW aint no spring chicken, he'd already be reasonably set for life, one last premiership tilt would be worth a lot more to him, plus he probably has loyalty to Nick Politis and Robinson. Forcing him to play elsewhere because of an arbitrary 'market value' is BS

Souths loved Greenburgs made up market value bullshit when they picked up Glenn Stewart.

Market valuations are undertaken on various assets all the time.

You can read up on the definition(s). Valuation case law deals with these issues in great detail.

Market values on 'assets'

Human beings aren't assets

Its almost like it was pure luck that one trainer got hit and another didn't.

Are you saying it was a pre planned tactic?

 

[Dingo_dan]

Souths loved Greenburgs made up market value bullshit when they picked up Glenn Stewart.

And?

 

[mave]

And?

If It's good enough to screw one club to benefit Souths, then its good enough to then be applied to all other clubs.

 

[Dingo_dan]

If It's good enough to screw one club to benefit Souths, then its good enough to then be applied to all other clubs.

If it screwed one club, then shouldn't it be scrapped?

If it benefited souths and you hated that, then why do you want it to continue.

Consistency.

The standard from the NRL has been set. It needs to continue, so other non favoured clubs could potentially benefit down the track.

Roosters already had an asterisk against there 2019 Premiership, so why not go for 2020*

A big fat asterik indeed. *

Canberra were the true premiers.

Or, if it was a stupid rule then change it now?

I don't get some nrl fans sometimes. When a bad decision is made against they want others to suffer.
Brett Stewart and Matai should have been able to medically retire. The decision to not allow them to medically retire was wrong. Yet whenever a player medically retires now the comments inevitably turn to 'how can X club retire X player when Stewart and matai weren't allowed to'.
See it in all kinds of situations. Player from someone's club gets a 2 weeks suspension for an innocuous tackle. Complain that it was unfair. Next week a player does the exact same tackle but doesn't miss a game. Personally I'm happy the 2nd player didn't get charged. But nrl fans are so petty that even when an injustice was done against their club they want others to suffer.

What would be better, Consistently wrong decision's or a line drawn in the sand, admit we done it wrong in the past and set a new precedent.

So by your logic if someone buys a corolla in Mongolia for $100k for some asinine reason then every Corolla in Australia is worth a market value of $100k? There are a myriad of factors in play that you've ignored including the fact that his contract sits 100% outside the salary cap as a marquee player exemption and he's been paid that money more for marketing and promotion then anything else, you can't apply market value when the circumstances aren't the same and once he technically terminates his wolf pack deal as per NRL rules won't his market value have been readjuated?

Weird analogy
I'm sure the market value of a corolla in Mongolia is known

We're talking about his market value so I'll apply his known market value

When the NRL come out and admit that they got these decisions wrong, then yep let's set a new precedent.

Don't hold your breath though.

60% ball and couldnt score to save themselves. They didnt deserve it.

I fail to see how 2019 could have an asterix. Totally dominated the Storm

You're basing his market value on a contract with completely different circumstances of the NRL salary cap i.e marquee player allowance 100% outside the salary cap which doesn't exist in the NRL so you can't just apply the same market value when cap isn't the same just like you can't just set Rapana's market value as what he would've got in Japanese rugby as it's a completely different market. Market value doesn't depend on outliers in a different market but what a NRL team would be happy to pay, this has always been the basis of how market value is measured.

Correct, but 400k is ridiculously low. If he was on the market in regular conditions someone would give him double that. Even as a conservative estimate I’d put him at at least 50% more.

so $600k should be the minimum. Even if we do want to bend the rules for this god’s gift to marketing.
