Unfortunately, trying to stop players talking to other clubs when they shouldn't is nigh on impossible to police. And knowing our luck, and more to the point incompetence, we would be caught and made an example of the first time we did it if there was a rule against it.
Trifili,
apparantly you can "talk " to a contracted player anytime its just that you cant "OFFER" him a contract / deal until november the 1st ... so how crazy is that .. you can virtually have everything arranged with manager and then on nov 1 surprise surprise player decides to swap clubs ... Nrl needs to somehow close this somehow
look at munster same as amone but yet we know what storm are offering ? so makes it easier to work out a deal with braith doesnt it

Speaking REALISTICALLY emphasis on REALISTIC, after the cut off of round 11 or 12 for non-contracted players to play, who do we think will come into the starting 17? I’d assume molo and hunt would be banging on the door.

For sure and this is where the depth will come in with our forwards. If you listen to Poss he is already putting Treigh Stewart in his side now !!

No it wasn’t, it’s always been the case .
Fox NRL News

May 19th, 2021 7:20 am

From this week onwards players from outside of a club’s Top 30 can be selected to play NRL.
That means development players — but also those who aren’t even on a development contract could come into contention for a call-up.

In previous seasons, development players were only allowed to be selected after the June 30 transfer deadline

Round 16 vs Raiders the Dragons will be playing in a Steelers strip (with Dragons badges etc) to celebrate the 40th year of the 2 clubs

Good to see however, I don't get the forty year part.

I truly don't understand why the Steelers strip can't be used down in the Gong, the Red V at Kogarah.

I'm not a fan but If you must have the other Red jersey, use it for away games.

No way, if you play with the 2 strips, it will cause more issue with dividing supporters, we need to stop trying accommodate everyone we should play all games in our designated official jersey which is the Red V, we can use the steelers jersey when we have clash with any other team that wears red/white or they can designate the game against Canberra as a steelers jersey game and play the for the McIntyre and Millward Cup.

Storm to officially announce the signing of Tariq Simms in the next 48 hours , however they want him now . The bluudy hide of them , why should we accommodate their needs ? They can wait until next season for the man .

What really pusses me off about this report was that 9 news said that the Dragons had made a major signing , only to discover after the commercial break that it was the Dragons who were losing a player .

Geez , out of the Simms 700k contract we save 300k by letting him go now ? We are not going to get much for that. I get that we can promote Molo or Hunt but we can anyhow in June ? The only benefit is if we use the money to add to any offer we are making for a new player , hopefully really good one ( one's ? ) and get it over the line.
