Comprehension skills aren’t a strong point are they?

I said “I am not convinced all of them do”.

That means I might think some of them do.


So what makes you think some teams get lucky calls? Do you honestly think If BA went about it the right way, it may help or hinder us?

Hindy111 demands an hours rest. This conversation is f**king draining.
2019 is a new year with new hopes. Lets just believe rather then carry on like broken records.
I for one look forward to the new stadium,Mahoney, Kafusi,Salmons development amongst others and seeing if we bounce back. Its exciting.

I have no idea, and neither do you but under the NRL rules we were.
You haven’t read anything about TPAs in the past ten years? Really?

We couldn’t get legit ones so we got illegitimate ones instead. Then we got busted and now we don’t have any. But you’re right, maybe none of the other 15 clubs have them either.

If 2009 was more arsey than quality, you could argue the 2017 season was no different.
Except in 2017 we won two thirds of our games. In 2009 it was just over half.

But I agree, we were lucky both years. This year we were unlucky. It happens to other clubs too.

Yes jokes but none of us have any proof at what they are paying.

And there is nothing to stop us from being run like them top sides. As Barry has stated numerous times there is nothing from stopping the club introducing players and potential TPA sponsors they just can’t anything to do with the process after that.
We did that and f**k all of them eventuates. That all came out in the salary cap investigation. It means that when we offer TPAs as part of contract negotiations they are worthless.

Meanwhile other clubs magically have a much higher success rate of organisations unconnected with the club coming through with TPAs. That’s why when they offer TPAs they are as good as offering extra cash.

Nah I’ve been reading your BS on here the last 10 years instead.

And this has nothing to do the simpletons running the club???

He did do a fantastic job holding the club in 2016 I don’t think you will get anyone to argue with you over that. Doeant mean he is untouchable 3 years after the fact.

How many coaches have won a spoon in their 5th season and survived???
Robinson got one in his fourth year. Well, he was saved by the Knights winning fewer than six games. Luck determines whether you make the finals on 12 wins just as it decides whether you run last with only six.

It’s a complicated issue that has a range of factors to it. I don’t profess to have all the answers like you do. Given that what BA says in press conferences represents about 2% how can you be so sure about everything?

Surely Melbourne and the Storm don’t get favourable referring calls only because of what their coach says in the media. The fact that they are both strong and well managed clubs would play a significant role don’t you think? They don’t cop shit from the NRL on any issue.
