No doubt the way it panned out the grub doesn’t have the usual influence over AD that he has over the majority of his clientele.Im glad my prediction was wrong in this instance coz I like AD & his humble family & I underestimated the confidence & maturity of the proud Balmain junior whose junior club the dundas shamrocks is based 5 mins from my place.
Yep...it's fair to say he's his own man.
He would be a 40/20 God in the modern game.Alan was awesome eh, had a good boot. I picked up on him kicking the opposition in a punt kick follow thru.
The opposition hesitated on subsequent kicks.
I’ve got Hunt at the bottom of pecking order.I don’t see him improving & applying pressure on Benji to pick him.Hunt & Bird need to be discarded albeit they will cost us as we will have to subsidise the majority of their salaries to play elsewhere
I don't think so Glock.

It’s farcical.The dogs salary sombrero is now larger than the rorters.The Laundy family can employ family members of tino as bartenders & cleaners on large 6 digit salariesRival club’s ‘absolutely massive’ offer may not be enough as four-team Tino bidding war erupts

That is according to veteran rugby league reporter Phil Rothfield, who has revealed the Dragons, Bulldogs and Perth Bears are the interested parties.

HTF can the dogs keep offering big contracts to players, do they have the same salary cap as the rest of us?
Because the they have a revolving door that keeps rotating until they have the right squad.
Having TPA's available is the key, which we don't seem to use, and I don't know why.Because the they have a revolving door that keeps rotating until they have the right squad.
Remember it's a top 30 cap.
The Top 30 Salary Cap for 2026 is
$11,950,000 and jumps up to $12.1 for for 2026, and throw in $0.3 million Veteran and Developed Player allowance and a $0.1 million Motor Vehicle allowance and a lot more allowances, and TPA's.
SOO players $20k bonus is included in the cap so too. A problem we never have to worry about
A lot of juggling of those 30 players contracts are done.
We have players like Tumeth on our books and I could just about guarantee he's on a base salary compared to another player treading water like Kit.... he'd be on more.
If clubs are not development clubs they'll buy players and maintain at least 17 guns, pay them well and chicken feed for the rest. Id like to know what all the salaries are and compare clubs to see if my theory is correct
The dogs revolving door now includes Reed Mahoney and Toby Sexton and they are bound to release other players if they secure Tino.
That's why I keep saying it's wise to have up to $1mil left in our 2026 cap in case a gun becomes available come Nov1.. The club who has the bait invariably catches the fishy.
Apparently the NRL won't ratify a contract unless the club can prove they have or will have cap space by the time the player starts eating into the cap.
Me feels that clubs that have always managed to have a bulging roster also do some mutual back scratching when it comes to having contracts ratified.
I won't come out and say they cheat....that would be politically incorrect.
In 2013, the roosters won the GF with a star crammed roster.
An ex Rooster Ian Schubert was the RL Auditor
That is correct.
If you had the cash, what player would you help the club get?
