Opinion Penrith

M’Bye is a good player according to Gus... just another statement from ‘the smartest mind in the game’

He might say he's a good player, but I never noticed him try to sign him up.

 

[The_Frog]

Last week vs Canberra, the Roosters were without Friend, Cordner, Collins, Radley, Chrichton, Keary, Walker and B Morris. There's 8 starters right there. Also, thrown in Verrils, Smith and Hutchinson who would likely be in the 17.

Well if you're counting retired players, last night we were without Royce Simmons.

We're talking about players who are in this year's squad and salary cap. Can't be that hard to understand.

You mean those you are getting a cap dispensation for, and those who are medically retired? Not hard to understand at all.

Not hard to understand? Have you met Froggy?

Actually, no cap dispensation has been used re. Cordner and Friend's retirement was just that - not a dodgy medical retirement with cap relief, ala Burgess. Bit harder for you to understand than you let on.

Penrith supporters still making excuses?
FFS you wankers are sore losers LMFAO.

GEnuine question, Ive never seen it before. It was a Tigers home game, at Leichhardt, and Penrith bring their own backdrop for the presser. Is this a normal thing?

 

[age.s]

Penrith had 9 players out, but we had M’Bye in our team. It all evens out, they just weren’t good enough.

M'Bye went off with 30 minutes to go.

You're never going to win when your opponent gets that kind of leg up.

There is and will be no cap dispensation for Friend as this was the last year of his contract so saying we are missing friend in any given game is absolutely valid.

He was joking you know.

 

[mxlegend99]

Last night's match is why the origin period is a joke. We should have a 3 week break midseason and no byes.

Tigers would love this. They wouldnt get to play a depleted side, but would happily give that up to get rid of all byes. Namely this one

So smug.

It was a sponsors backdrop. In the past month, we have attracted and maintained sponsorship dealings that we are very grateful for, being that we don't survive on the big end of town that the likes of Roosters, Souths and others have in the corporate world.

Panthers had their own sponsors backdrop in Magic Round as well.

It happens. We paid Sam McKendry for 3 years without him playing more than a few minutes. I'm sure Brett Morris will qualify for medical retirement.

 

[The_Frog]

He was joking you know.

It was a valid point that Roosters have had a lot of blokes out (a few of them suspended), but then the need was felt to embellish it with those who have either received a cap discount or will likely apply for medical retirement and get as cap discount for that.

 

[Front-Rower]

Penrith supporters bleat about producing all these quality juniors that can fill 3 nrl sides yet next minute they have to play said juniors, get flogged and whinge about it.

One of those quality juniors is your best player. We dont get to keep all of them.
