Dragons fans will go into full nuclear meltdown if the lose this one. Keep letting the titans back in the game. The short restart has become very common in recent weeks Im not sure the one just performed Ben Hunt was the way to go, should have hoofed down the half way @nd backed there-defence.

If this round hasn’t been the catalyst for a serious discussion about promotion and relegation I don’t know what is. There are c6 teams that have nothing to play for.

I think there needs to some serious discussion around application of the salary cap.

Granted some clubs are managing it better than others, but the gap this season between the top eight sides and bottom eight sides seems to have widened which is disappointing.

It just isn’t a level playing field, even allowing for the fact the bigger clubs are more able to attract players Which will always be the case.

WT are paying Luke Brooks a million dollars a season
They are paying Mybe $450k to sit on Dragons bench

All of the struggling sides have similar stories, that is why they are where they are

We don’t know who paying what. You may be right I have no idea.

All I know is there is a requirement for every club to spend what 90% of there cap each season. So something is seriously wrong somewhere. If the bottom side side is spending basically the same amount as the top side, third parties excluded perhaps, then something is seriously wrong with the system. The system is broken And perhaps isn’t going to change until we have a player draft However unpopular that may be to some.

I always thought that a transparent points system was the go. How the points are decided would cause debate, but it would stop the playing for overs/unders bullsh!t that most fans are p!ssed off with.

With today’s raiders win it’s possible if Souths lose there next 2 and raiders win there next 2 Souths are out .Maybe Mitchell should be looking over his shoulder

Apparently the Top 100 players was spot on. Was not good reading for the lower ended clubs

You won't stop stupidity though

The problem is with that is how often are players graded?
