Rumours and Stuff

Luckier then most would be our backup hooker would be fit and not be oldman Hodgo.

If you think he’s old now, wait till next year. He’ll be older.

Because your only “solution” is policy on the fly stuff. You want to stop rorting by creating an environment that allows potentially higher level rorting. You could all but ensure the NRL going back to the Arko/Fulton days where unsurprisingly Manly are the strongest club. Your “simple” solution lacks any detail and the gaps from that missing detail are what create these types of loopholes in the first place.

Haha...What?

How is stopping players who earn more then $400K from jumping ship to do a short stint cameo with another probably stronger club potentially allow a higher level of rorting? I don't get your logic. We are stopping clubs from piling on and adding elite players to their already strong roster as a late season cameo.

What you could also do is after the June 30 deadline, if any player were unhappy at their current club and wanted out early then sure they can, but only to a team that at the time they sign the new contract they can only join a club that is currently in the bottom 4 on the ladder. Again not to difficult to do and I am sure it would make fans so much happier then if a star player like Hunt can just jump onto the back of a super club like the Broncos for less then half a season and potentially help them win a GF.

The detail you are looking for is only needed for special circumstances like season ending injuries (prior to June 30) or for stand down policies, again prior to June 30. Otherwise after that date, just like it has been for more then 100 years, thems the breaks and bad luck there's always next season.

It’s a wonder how they fit them all under the cap hey?

Yep and as they are finding out it is hard to do, eh?

Josh Curran pleaded guilty to the assault on the 16 year old boy. The GBH charge and larceny dropped. No conviction recorded, and he had to replace the boy’s phone.

Couldn't get his knob out of the chicken.

But the chicken wanted to look through the window?

You genuinely can’t see how just “writing new rules” can’t lead to corruption?
I’ve got nothing wrong with your general proposal but as usual you insult people and say it’s an easy fix but then struggle to provide more than piecemeal detail on how your easy fix would actually operate

And so are we. We haven’t been this successful since 2001. Not winning the comp doesn’t stop the salary cap from squeezing your squad. It didn’t 20 years ago and it doesn’t now.

 

[TheCrowe]

Who would you choose out of Joe O and Makatoa for a final spot on the bench?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ofahengaue times a thousand

 

[Gazzamatta]

Maka at the moment. Ask again in 5 weeks.

 

[TheCrowe]

Ofahengaue times a thousand

How has he been better then Maka?

I meant it mostly in a worst case scenario, but yes.

Joe needs to earn his spot in our 17. It’s up to him to take it off Maka, who has impressed in recent times. It’s great to see this type of competition for a spot in our side. Our bench is starting to look like a recliner rocker.

Should we set up a roster to patrol the Golden Sheaf this weekend?

That's a good idea I'll take first watch

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It’s not that he’s been better, he just is better. You’re only as good as your next game.

Joffa was fairly ordinary last week
