That's not even remotely funny.

I heard a player manager talking on a podcast today that he has had a few players of his tell him they are interested in the move.

Humour is an individual experience.
Well that's it then, no worries, a manager says some players might be interested. I remember when Munster was 'interested' in joining the Dolphins as well, and he wouldnt have had to live behind a fence.

Well until they can legally sign players, hearing people involved in the games player transfer market talk about having clients who are interested in playing there is the best we can talk about.

If there is an option to take your opinion on something or an opinion that clashes with your opinion from someone involved in the game i know who i am listening to.

Humour is an individual experience.

Some more individual than others. It also highlights certain things about a persons character.

That tax free thing is gunna motivate some players to play over there for a year or two …never underestimate what a tight ass will put up with for more money….

I can’t see Nathan Cleary or Ponga going over there though …

I said the Titans crowds fell after a great start and dolphins may do same. Guess what? there was a 16% drop in Dolphins crowds from year 1 to year 2 (worse than the Titans in Yr1>2). We await to see if it keeps dropping in year 3.

Which can be interpreted as:

1. No private investors are willing to put their hard earned to invest in a team to the level that the NRL wants despite people on here saying owning a club will bring rivers of gold or is a licence to print money given the size of the annual grant.

2. You only get 1 Albo (replace with Alan Bond in Kerry Packer's case) in your lifetime and PVL has been lucky to get a 'Bond' to tip in $600m of Australian taxpayers money.
