That’s over $300k tax. So in the hand he would end up with less than half his take home pay in Frankreich. It’s not a competitive offer. He would need a pretty substantial TPA from 1800PouMan to bridge that gap.

No its not. Look maybe go see an accountant and talk about taxes for sports stars. It is different then personal income tax for you or me. Cause it is over a short span they aren't hit as hard.
Prob still worse then France yes. But your making figures up in something you dont know.

Look Mannah's output per minute is great up there with the best props in the game, problem is he is only playing about 25mins a game.
Yesterday he played 26mins in the first half he was in the bin as well for 10mins and played no minutes in the 2nd half.
His 5 hitups gained over 60meters but he needs to play 40-50 a game. That's what the best props are playing and getting a similar meters per run than Tim is.
Beau Scott is not playing enough minutes ethier.
So basically our bench rotation is crap. we have like did we have any forwards play 80mins yesterday?
You need at least 2 backrowers playing 80mins so you can rotate the middle forwards round and keep them fresh but that is not happening.
If Tim and Beau can't play 35-50 mins a game then they don't belong in the NRL they need to go to ISP.

None of that was our problem yesterday it was attacking options or lack of them.
I'll go into it more in the Parrapodcast this week.
But basically too much sideways and not forward in the opponents 20mtrs and a hit up on tackle 4 in side your opponents half? spin it wide, use the ball before you have to kick it on the last.
Defence was great.

Is anyone else concerned with who we names as captains? I think BOTH Scott and Mannah need to be dropped.

Looking forward to the Podcast. The game is very different live. Ill be interested to hear what you guys thought of our attack and our lack of a Plan "B" when The Pennys continually rushed our playmakers. As much as they tried I thought our playmakers looked extremely dumb. Theres a saying that goes something like, if you keep doing the same think and expect a different result its a sign of stupidity. Enough said.
Cheers.

He made 2 terrible mistakes yesterday.
But was still.more effective than the powder puff brothers

Are the powder puff brothers RCG and Leota? Because yes, he was more effective than them.

He was our least effective prop, however. Until he ran on the edge that one time as a second man.

9 hitups for 76m is pretty ordinary. Even his f**king kick returns were only 10m/run....Powderpuff Mannah got 19m per kick return!!

Yes we had no answer for the rushing panthers defence, i think we are playing to flat, need to be a little deeper and run onto the ball so with footwork we can beat the rushing defence.
Some of it is something we can't fix in a hurry as both the options we have used a dummy half so far have been giving slow service. Does BA say right Reed Mahoney can take the 30th spot on the roster and bring in for a go? or do we just have suffer what we have and use that 30th spot for a big body middle forward. I know it was left open for Semi but that isn't happening and honestly never was.
This is one mistake that was made, leaving money on the hope that Semi comes back against the lure of massive dollars over there. They should have just used the money on a big middle forward. They should go hard for TPJ from the broncos.
I thought Sean Keepie was a keeper but they let him go. Not sure what is happening with our forward retention, seem to be keeping backrowers but not middle forwards from the juniors.

Keppie is exactly the same kind of forward we already have stacks of. He's Alvaro but younger.

Plus Manly offered him a top 30 spot...

yeah i know the tempation of a top 30 spot is too much to knock back, but It though Keepie was a bit taller and had a better motor than both Alvaro and Tim. Well he had potential to be better than both.

We filled our 29 man current squad with blokes of mostly NRL experience...how would Stone get a start before late June at the earliest?

Hmm, the ATO's website tells me they are able to claim deductions for work-related clothing and sunscreen. If Semi knew about that he probably would've stayed.

If these two are so shit wouldn't we want them playing fewer minutes so our better forwards can play more?
So basically our bench rotation is crap. we have like did we have any forwards play 80mins yesterday?
If they did it would mean fewer minutes for everyone else.

Yes I am sure NSW selectors agree and Australia....
Keep on pulling it
