Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Iamback]

I could also list the NRL players I've done coke with. No Panthers on that one though

I know of players who were here that did, The current guys are smarter about where and when

inside cap compliant cars... very easy to rort the cap.

Cars supplied to players are counted towards salary cap and have done ever since Uncle Nick was caught using this dodge.

 

[WestyLife]

Let me count the ways.

Chins you have history of making sweeping statements without being able to back up such statements with the appropriate facts.

It may be YOUR truth. But is it THE TRUTH.

There is a huge difference.

Are you going to back this up with proof?

 

[Fangs]

This is my favourite thread on the forum.

When the Raiders boys play in Sydney they like to mingle at Hotel Harrys in Surry Hills.

Doesn't bother me mate. Don't worry about them

Yep but gifts inside the cars aren't

 

[Luke Bowden]

When I was a kid we'd get little bags of Wiz Fiz at birthday parties.

You're in fantasy land if you don't think professional sports people aren't going through $300 bags of sherbet at parties and big game celebrations.

Why would they?

I think you have an overly inflated view of the current recreational drug culture in this country.

5 years ago, I’d agree, currently, my guess would be that most don’t, for varying reasons.

You can’t just be given a boat by an organisation, particularly those that are public companies (are there many of those left?) or by memberships. The authorities might not worry about a salary cap, but they aren’t going to ignore others laws put in place to facilitate clubs breaking salary cap compliance.

The player get given cars by company’s .Melbourne player was given a boat would never have been found out if not for getting caught getting lent the boat is the difference the player never owns the boat

Same reason anyone does it.

I'm well out of the age bracket for that kind of shit now, but back in the late 80's early 90's I used to party regularly with the players and it was an eye opener. Young dudes will be young dudes, especially when access to the fun stuff is so easy, they are just a bit smarter about it now. Like anything some would, some wouldn't, but to think it doesn't happen is next level ostrich stuff.

Kurt Mann would make a good 14, plays everywhere.

He's probably worse than Peach at each position except hooker. Which is the most important one for a utility.

 

[jane the pain]

Tago needs to be re-sign asap.

Lang on League: Tago is west's new king • The Western Weekender

Tradies too. Anyone with cash in the 20-30 age brackets will get on it at any chance

Yeah I sure did. I've 99% outgrown it now though

Tradies are a different kettle of fish.

A few things have changed in the last 3 or 4 years. An NRL player would be a complete moron to do it now. Very high chance of them being caught. They all know it.

No thanks. We have better

X player has a party for those in the inner circle.

No phones are allowed.

Who finds out?

More and more players are doing such things, more so to keep dickheads away from harrassing them in pubs.

As for getting caught

Naden was done in 2020 GF
Munster, Brandon Smith
Reece Walsh.

Then of course remember Ponga and Mann caught in a cubicle. Why do you think they were in there?
