What a rort!

[AJB1102]

I can't understand the couple of people who think this is a good thing.

It is essentially a charity game to raise money for millionaires.

If these 2 absolute legends of the game wanna front up for a trial match and use their profile to make $2M for Camp Quality or Ronald McDonald House or any other worthy cause then f**k yeah, lets get it done.

I'm all for that.

Making wealthy footballers wealthier off the back of regular folk? No f**ken way. Without even taking into account the salary cap dodge its just a shit go. If either of those 2 back it and profit from it they're absolute dogs.

What rubbish. Everyone knows that the testimonial game should actually be held for the Ross Dog instead .

It's officially on.
I'd like to know the break down of the donations.
If either player earns a cent, it's a shit go.

Premier is attending, so there will not be an election on that day

 

[POPEYE]

What are we looking at here . . . a RL trial match for charity . . . what's the sinister connotation . . . what can Wankerland fly its flag from

 

[jc155776]

The lads are so generous for donating some of the money.



Which they can then claim as a massive tax write off.

Cheats.

Melbourne will play this bullshit but are apparently not going to play the World Club Challenge game, what wonderful ambassadors for rugby league. Wankers.

Can't wait to hear Warren Smith call this one.

Good on the boys managers for spinning this into some kind of charity event.

So nothing from the club, just media guessing.

 

[ed-grimley]

I'm hereby calling on all decent RL supporters to boycott this fixture.

Well they turned it down last year

Well they turned it down last year

Because every NRL side bar Cronulla would have went to play for nothing. The only game that mattered was Wigan vs Sharks

Cam Smith is a hypocrite for crying about reduced workloads and then taking a handout for another game

 

[mozza91]

Is the Shane Warne foundation sponsoring this event?

How does this differ from any other pre season game?

The complaints about workload come from 5 day turn arounds and state of origin - not a pre season game in Feb.

 

[T-Boon]

I am just happy Smith manager will get $100 grand out of this. He lost a lot in that 6 month ban he wore taking the fall for Smith.

It's pre-season games as well, why do you think the nines & allstars have been canned next year? There's also no international tournaments or anything next year because it's year after WC and the players, lead by Smith, wanted a year off. But now he's happy to play a pre season game because it lines his already deep pockets. He's a hypocrite.

Tim simona is organising jersey sales.
