Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Agreed. We are no longer the shitstain of the NRL, willing to pay ludicrous $ for injury prone plodders.

The market meant we had to pay overs per-player but we never would've paid ludicrous money like some people think. The most overs we would've paid were to Hayne but any shit club is probably paying their stars far more than they're worth - look at the Tigers with Farah. That's why the best way to rebuild is to f**k your stars off and buy some dependable plodders. That way you're at least able to have 12 solid defenders in your line. Then you look at taking a risk on an injury prone star or up-and-coming youngster.

It would be easy to decide the risk and value of a player - every club would have the same ideas about price, with minor variations depending on need at certain positions or roles (e.g. captain or goalkicker). The problem is all the clubs with good reputations would be able to get players at value (or cheaper) whereas we were having to offer overs for each player (except where we were the only club offering a top 25 or even top 17 spot). That adds up to a big difference in quality between squads.

I hope the Peats rumours are accurate - he was on fire for the Indigenous All Stars.

Unless the bunker is tipping to the onfield ref's, and they won't be, this will cause more trouble than its worth.

Agree, who cares where the 10 metres is, as long as the players are back with the ref and his 10 is consistent for both sides

It might put pressure on refs to grow a spine though, which is a good thing IMO.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Oh, yeh. And of course, there will be no proper quality control of Fox's 10m, but every dumb arse in the country will see it and cry blue murder as to why a man standing on the playing field can't have the vision of a raised camera placed adjacent the ruck

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

He's offside ffs!! How much are they paying you!!??

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Can someone please explain why one of the touchies can't stand at the 10 and put up their flag if some merkin is offside, like in the soccer.

Especially in the last 5 mins when the game is tied both teams are attempting field goals and everyone at home can see both teams 5 metres in front of ref trying to charge down the drop goal

I hope the virtual line can be seen in real time. Then the video ref can watch it and start pinging the cheats. Which is everyone.

Nah its everyone except us - all the people at our home games told me

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

James must not have had a collared shirt for golf. He was there with Normy and Matt Ryan.

Dunno but what we have now is too random and breaks down completely at the end/golden point.

Oops. That's what I meant. Everyone else.
