Sam Burgess retires

[Wily Ole Dog]

Well actually you can. Sam isnt faking his injuries, they just dont meet the criteria set down clearly in the NRL rules for medical retirement. Its pretty clear and straightforward.......

In your mind But we’ll see what the reality is, hopefully, soon than later


As to the Manly duo, their own doctor refused their claims

Farah was a toxic influence at the club. That’s why they wanted to get rid of him. He was pure poison

he refused to go so the only way to get rid of him was to offer him a bucket load of money to make coffee for MaGuire after he retired.

no if’s not but’s, it was a rort that got caught

I dont think your scenario is correct but lets for the sake of clarity assume you are correct. Let me make my point by your example....

GI was an obese influence at the club. That’s why they wanted to get rid of him. He was pure lard

he refused to go so the only way to get rid of him was to offer him a bucket load of money to make coffee for Bennett after he retired.

Thats a different sort of rort?

Who was then the NRL doctor, but you see the point though dont you? Their claims were refused because it was a pre-existing injury.

The NRL Doctor at the time had just been appointed after serving as the Manly Club Doctor for quite a few years. AS such he was quite aware of their medical history from first hand experience.

i understand that, but thats kind of the point. Their injuries pre-dated their latest contract, therefore under the NRL rules they cant get the Medical Retirement. Its pretty clear cut. IMO its also pretty clear cut with regards to Burgess but I expecting Greenburg to rubber stamp it.

You’ve done a heroic job of remaining civil and not telling these dumbf**ks to eat a bag of dicks.

Kudos.

Quality post. A shame you seem to lack the same basic, human skills that tiger150 has.

if your 14 years old or autistic I will forgive you

The NRL Doctor at the time had just been appointed after serving as the Manly Club Doctor for quite a few years. AS such he was quite aware of their medical history from first hand experience.

“Complicating that decision is the fact it’s likely to land with the NRL’s chief medical officer Dr Paul Bloomfield, who was the Sea Eagles club doctor for over a decade and the majority of both Stewart and Matai’s careers.

Stewart inked a two-year extension with the only club he has ever known in August 2015, but has only managed 13 games in the 18 months since.



Matai, meanwhile, penned a new Manly deal six months earlier having previously requested a release to join the Warriors, and has played 27 of 48 possible games for the maroon and whites since.

Both clocked at least 18 games a year between 2011 and 2015.

It was Dr. Bloomfield who last season ruled Anthony Watmough, a former premiership winning teammate of Matai and Stewart’s at Manly, to be medically retired in the midst of Parramatta’s salary cap scandal.

That decision ensured that the final three years of Watmough’s estimated $700,000 deal with the Eels did not count towards the club’s cap, and was critical in getting them back in the black and playing for competition points last season”

How convenient for Parra

Nope. I’m not nearly as patient as @Tiger5150. The bloke’s a saint.

I’ve got no interest in your forgiveness. Eat a bag of dicks.

 

[Wily Ole Dog]

More to the point is that Dr. Bloomfield knocked back Stewart & Matai

I agree. Forgive was the wrong word. I tend to excuse handicapped people for their poor behaviour. Not forgive

Just keep on putting your qualities out there for all to see mate. You’re all class

You call people with autism “handicapped” and then accuse me of having a lack of class.

Did you attend the souffs finishing school?

Yeah f**k trying to reason with another fan. The NRL has a supporter base of insular, moronic, obtuse, deliberately provocative idiots who lack the most basic level of comprehension or objectivity.

You are delusional .

Not only that , you are playing it both ways .
If NRL say it is not medical retirement , you squeal that proves you are correct.
If NRL approve it as medical retirement , you squeal that proves your are correct as you expected NRL to rubber stamp it.

This means you believe you know ALL the data on Sam's injuries , have fully investigated all the facts , checked Sam personally and you are the only one who can give a correct opinion.

As I do not believe you have done any of the checks , then your continued insistence is a delusional one.

Get real dope and wait for decision . Else show your medical credentials and confirm your study of Sam and I may apologise. I can go according to facts.......you appear to be an "I know all " dope.

As for those , who think I am biased Souths fan , yes I am ........however my keyboard warriorship usually occurs when I see "nonsense" or real biased against Souths . I normally stick out of other club business .......though I do hate Roosters with a passion.

Thanks for the admission that you are incapable of objectively understanding the situation.

Ok and for about the 15th time....what stops a club offering a 28yo player a 6 year contract for a smaller annual fee but the same overall, knowing that after 3 or 4 years they can just "pull a GI" and the player gets paid the full amount but it doesnt come off the cap. Surely you can see the rort potential in that?

Because it would need to be independently medically sanctioned. In GI's case he would have been allowed off the cap unless he had been deemed mentally unfit to play ever again (a much more grey area admittedly than a physical injury situation)

Just make it black and white and lets see if it works.
