The question is were you a professional rugby league player when you were living there. These guys are going to be treated by the PNG public, like the Indians treat their cricketers ... i.e. like gods. I have zero doubt that they'll be perfectly safe over there. Besides the reporting is that...

And so it bloody should ... The tax free status essentially means that PNG will be playing with a 40% higher salary cap than the rest of the comp

I think Reynolds will retain the captaincy for 2025. Although, Madge may look to appoint his eventual successor as co-captain. FWIW, nothing has changed my mind about who that successor should be ... It Patty by the length of the straight.

And with this one move, politics has officially entered another facet of our lives ... The NRL is now another political tool. Hell, the press conference to announce their entry to the NRL was held by the Prime Minister's of both countries

The Cowboys reportedly refused to match the Roosters offer for Robson (at least duration wise), because they essentially have a Mozer of their own and they didn't want to put a roadblock in his way. The Cowboys won't be coming for Mozer

Would that really be such a shock given we've had a former NSW origin player as our captain for 3 years now. We also have a former NSW origin coach as our coach, just FYI.

Isn't that pretty much what the club has done with Madden though. In the 2024 season he was our succession plan for Reynolds. The club and new coach have decided he's no longer in our plans, and have tapped him on the shoulder, giving him permission to leave. It's still a bit early to call...

I'll give you Paix, but Madden was clearly their Reynolds succession plan. (At least as a stop gap until Black is ready to take over). That looks to have changed now given Hunt's signing and Madden performances replacing Reynolds this season. The Panthers also wanted Madden is their back up...

The Tigers have reportedly taken a leaf out of the Eels recruitment playbook. they have agreed to player options in Luai's 5 year deal. Luai's is effectively able to leave at any time he wants after the second year. as there is a player option each year for the final 3 years

Madge has reportedly implement a 'six pack ban'. players were told to keep their training kits on when in view. They are also wearing official kit around the club when off the paddock. At a recent team lunch, every player was in full Broncos kit without an NBA singlet or NFL jersey in sight...

remember, that was at the Tigers ... he probably needed 5 captains to get half a footy brain between them

they did.

question, did you think that way when we signed Walsh or Hunt or Civo back in the day?

interesting ... I wonder what that means for Flanno Jnr

According to Badel, "Adam Reynolds has a month to save his captaincy job at the Broncos" The two other players he mentioned with regards to captaincy options were Patty Carrigan and Ben Hunt

I have no doubt the above are guesstimates at best ... unless the NRL or Broncos gave Badel a peak at their books, lol

From that Article: 3 of the 4 clubs were talking figures of 600k or less. The Dolphins offer was the exception not the rule ... even as inconsistent and incompetent as the NRL, if they start deeming a players market value as the offer that is way above what all other rivals are offering then...

Laurie Daley has reportedly won the race to replace Madge as NSW coach. NSW Rugby League are expected to announce their new coach this morning
