the NRL have said to clubs to work within a 9.1mill guideline and have a squad of 30 with an additional 5 elite under 20's in that squad ( 35 man squad )

but nothing official as yet....

But that still doesn't say you can't sign a further 15 players outside of the Top 30 plus other 5, just like we do now on second tier deals?

My understanding is the nrl will be preventing clubs from playing players outside their 30 unless of course you have over 13 players from squad who are unavailable through injury...
Just imagine BA having to name Vave in the centres because of an injury crises in out outside backs...
It's absolutely ridiculous

Bit, but ,but

The Genius that is Toddy Boy is in charge, and he is a complete myth, as soon as everyone wakes up to this and we can then get real change at the top, these sort of issues will continue. I can't think of one thing that he has instituted that is of value to the game, except of course smashing our club and ignoring obvious problems at teams like the Broncos.

Ok, but where would you get those players from who are outside of your 30(35)?

I understand your dislike for Todd and don't disagree that he is probably not the best person for the CEO
role, but don't for one minute think that he arbitrarily makes up these changes and then implements them. He has a team of people who I am sure look at the options/alternatives before making a recommendation to implement some change.

That's stupid! We all know Mannah would be named at centre before Vave

Mate i think todd just stands back and watches others dissappear under the f**kin bus .... nothing is happening in a timely manner ... the dumb merkins spent too much time last year obsessing over our dumb f**k board - they should have been doing their real job sorting out other shit

I agree. However Delboy is just passionate with his hate. I respect that.

He is the head of the NRL, he gets to implement and make decisions. What has happened under his rule is just not good enough

The inaction on the Broncos, from Andrew Gee to James Roberts , etc etc continues to deliver the air of " it's all too hard unless someone spills the beans". If the CEO of most organisations had failed to do what his charter specifies, then the question should be asked. His response when the jokers at our club asked that our fine be used to implement hard audits across the other clubs was pitiful " I am a confident you were the only club doing it"

Well, we leave him in there without criticism at the games peril
