What a rort!

[Canard]

haha all the outrage and they both decide to donate there cuts to charity...

That's a lot of salt split over nothing.

Your post makes no sense and you should feel dumb.

It makes perfect sense. The game does not have enough money to pay the fringe players big dollars because it is all going towards the star players and other football department expenditure. In this case other football department expenditure included brown paper bag payments to the merkin Smith.

Players also need to nominate a charity of choice, where a portion of the money will go.

They never said they were donating all monies.

Minimum wage is rising next year fought for in no small part by RLPA.

That is a nice article by Fox who get the exclusive rights to broadcast the game and no doubt the Thaiday & Slater testimonial in 2019 as well.
Fox are trying to increase subscribers in Qld.

There seems to be a trend emerging - making individual players bigger than the game.

I find it funny how Smith and Thurston were crying poor about the workload but now with money lining their pockets they couldn't care less.

Yep. The media love a good label even when it doesn’t remotely make any sense.

They want some players to be idolised but in reality the opposite is occurring.

I've said this often over the years, the dressing room/training paddock/playing field is one world and everything else associated with RL is another . . . all about the physical effort difference between the two. When I was in charge of a team I tried to fit into their inner sanctum but you have to be one of them

The only true judge of players will always be the players themselves, I particularly like it when they're smart enough to use the media as a pisstake. Most of them however know when their talents fade they will be treated badly by Wankerland . . . very few will hear anything disparaging from those who know what sacrifices it takes

Great insight ol mite. When I was in charge of a team we used to have slumber parties and I used to try and be part of their inner sanctum, unfortunately the girls weren't too happy with that so I had to go to wankerland by myself.

I don't doubt any of that Brutus

It’s only a RORT if you’re not in on it

 

[carcharias]

So who are the other players these two are expecting to get on board?
I know if I was a coach I’d be saying no way to my players playing in this horse shit.

This could turn out to be more embarrassing than the city country debacle.

Everyone in this thread will be watching.

Isn't aaron woods an automatic selection for everything?

The sad thing is, the crowd will be bigger than 90% of regular season games....... for a f**king trial game in brisbane between 2 out of city teams.

Forgive my ignorance
But is it a game between storm and cowboys?
I haven’t taken much interest after I found out smith is getting paid more extra money that will not count to the storms cap.
