NRL to help the Bulldogs

[Holla if ya hear me]

Piss off with your andrew johns sh*te le kook.. and it has to be restriction of trade..or is the NRL going to place value on ALL players and work out caps from there?

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

If dogs cant offer that then he should be able to accept the contract he wants..personally id like to see him finish one season off..at least

 

[Rutager]

Nein are never wrong..lol

 

[Tom Shines]

Anyone who pays 500k for Sonny William Williams is an idiot anyway.

 

[Tap Twist Snap]

How the hell is he valued at a minimum $500,000???

has he even managed to complete a season yet? his shoulder is made of glass.

I'm pretty sure SBW's shoulder is far from made of glass. Has a bit of a dicky knee but he is the last player i'd want hitting me with his shoulder.

 

[kooriguy]

bullsh*t.. if he wants to go to roosters for free hookers let him

 

[Rocco]

f**kING bullsh*t!

if scum bag williams wants to leave the puppies for more money than let him. the NRL should not help those povo scums at all

 

[Dogs Of War]

f**kING bullsh*t!

They will let him you moron. It's him going for less money that has got the NRL involved.

You made the glass joke once already, it was funny yesterday.

His shoulder hasn't made him miss any games except in 2004 during the off season- its been knee injuries

You're thinking of Bunji

NRL showing again how to put the cat amongst the pigeons, and get everyone arguing amongst themselves and not focusing on the actual game...FFS.

Surely they have to understand the basic principle of consistency? Once you open that gate, its impossible to shut. And now this gate is swinging in the breeze and the cattle is just lining up...

If you are going to have a salary cap...then f**king enforce the damn thing, without exception. If Johns wants to go to Union...they should have f**king let him go ruin whats left of his career. If the Dogs are worried about SBW, then stiff sh*t. This entire competition hinges on the premise of fairness and equality. Once those principles are tarnished, the NRL might as well pack up and leave town...and allow some professionals to run the game.

I (along with many others) have made that observation a number of times, its no less relevant now than it was yesterday, believe it or not I dont just post on here in an attempt to entertain you.

which one is which again?? :roll:

Im thinking of SBW

 

[mattyg]

rocco you really have no ****ing idea whatsoever do you. Just read the title of the thread and go blabbing on about b/s**t.

Well you are right in a sense, but the NRL isn't leaving itself open here. If SBW signed on a contract for less than 500,000 while we offered him that money, it would be looked at as a farce. The NRL however, are showing no signs of confidence in the salary cap system they have in place. This move is basically just to stop the NRL from potential legal action if the Bulldogs find out SBW has been paid under the table payments to join another team

Oh I get it. You're calling me racist because I said you had one kiwi confused with another, as they all look the same. Nice try, but no

Im thinking of SBW

No, you're thinking of Bunji. If you think you were thinking about SBW, then I think you're a f**king moron
As furry said, SBW has only missed 04 off-season due to shoulder injuries. Benji as missed large portions of the past few years with shoulder injuries.

 

[Ziggy the God]

Souths offered more for Canasten, but he went to the Roosters because he wanted to play for a 'Semi Final side and to make Rep teams'.

So does this mean that if this had happened tomorrow, they would have had to use our bid under their cap?

Why should Money be the sole determining factor? If I worked for Company X on $150,000 and hated it, and Company Y offered me $125,000 but I like the location, lifestyle, working hours, the manager - whatever - then I make a judgement call and leave.

What you are essentially saying is that certain players are now forced to accept the highest bid (and though most will like that) it becomes a restraint of trade. We've seen plenty of players recently make decisions for reasons other than money. The Storm have had their fare share of players chose NOT to move to Melbourne despite the larger offer, because they move away from friends and family.

The real issue you point out is under the table payments. Address that issue, NRL, separately - and not the issue of where players chose to play and for what reason.

PS - I forgot to add one important point: That is the market that should determine SBW's price, not the NRL. Its ridiculous.

 

[Bomber]

I wonder if the NRL would be so helpful to the Storm when Inglis comes off contract?

 

[OVP]

How come they didnt help the Roosters out with Fittler ? What about the Tigers with Benji ? Or even putting in to get Lote back to League. f**k you NRL, you've totally lost me ... the AFL admin is excellent. The NRL admin is piss poor.
