Rabbitohs signings, rumours and injuries thread.

[Godeangogogogo]

A string of high-profile Cowboys NRL players – including star Johnathan Thurston, co-captain Matt Scott and State of Origin player James Tamou – have acquired properties from millionaire developer Laurence Lancini, who is the long-serving chairman of the North Queensland rugby league club.

A Fairfax Media investigation can reveal that over the past seven years, 10 high-profile players have bought vacant blocks of land and apartments from Mr Lancini’s companies.

Questions have been raised as to whether the property deals constitute a breach of the salary cap rules.

Mr Lancini, 54, who is estimated to be worth $162 million, said that as “chair of the Cowboys” he is responsible for signing off on the salary cap. “I dispute anyone claiming that there’s been any untoward deals done with our players.”

The Rorters cheat I reckon.

At the Knights games other Souths members were discussing it with me.

That Politis is sly and a piece of work.

I think your right,he played really well as did a few others.

 

[Miagi]

Yeah mate , great to see we have a lot of depth coming into the pointy end of the season.

The Roosters likely pay stacks of money to teenage footballers before they come under the cap. This in turn buys loyalty for later on when the player does come under the cap. Of course if a player like RTS just takes the best offer available once he is an established player there is nothing the Roosters can do about it except get angry as that O'Sullivan guy did

You can only hope that more of their younger players follow the example of RTS in taking the Roosters' money then taking the best offer from another club as well so the player wins twice

You are probably correct, the roosters are dead-set against any U20 draft that's for sure.
