At this point I'm not shocked that we have one of the hardest "draws" ... Happens every bloody year.
P.s. Badel and News limited reporters disagree with then ranking you posted ... They say we've got a "Golden Draw"
Let's not forget Reece Walsh sacrificing $1.5 million + to sign long term with us.
I don't blame uto ... He's been on big money at the tigers for years and has never played a finals game ... Some players will sacrifice cash for a genuine shot at a premiership
I'm certainly not one to defend the Storm ... But when you're at that salary level and happy where you're living and working, then $300k a year might not be enough to cause you to uproot your life.
For example, Reece Walsh could have easily got another $300k a year to play at another club ...
I don't think there is a limit to how many train and trial players a team has.
As part of the affiliate deal, our feeder clubs are each permitted to send a certain number of players to train with the NRL team during the preseason ... And they get to pick who those players are.
just for clarity.
When Suaalii says he shouldn't have went. what he meant is that he shouldn't have gone in for the tackle, he should have left it for the man next to him.
he does say towards the end of the video that the ref made the right call sending him off
they really do need to change the name of the Draw to TV schedule or even game schedule. he are some of the matchups from Round 1:
Dolphins vs Rabbitohs ... i.e. Bennett vs Woolf
Eels vs Storm ... i.e. Bellamy vs Ryles
Broncos vs Roosters ... watch them play up the racism scandal from last...
Well for the majority of Reynolds career he has played 20 games or more per season.
EDIT: i've just done the calculations, in a 13 season career, he averages 22 games a season.
in fact in those 13 years he has played less than 20 games only 3 times ... 18 games in 2015; 16 games in 2016 and 13...
Isn't it interesting that a Roosters player, Sandon Smith has plead guilty to negligent driving with police saying that his victims injuries amounted to grievous bodily harm.
As a result of his injuries, the man underwent “many surgeries” and his little toe had to be amputated, according to...
they're upset because they know how good he is and were hoping their club could pick him up now instead of having to wait 4 years for another opportunity to poach him
I have no idea how you came that conclusion.
For accuracy here is what Madge actually said about Cobbo
“His actions on the footy field will do the talking,” Maguire said.
“If Selwyn focuses on the training part, most of the contract stuff will sort itself out _ it always does.
“If he gets...
Lodge has reportedly reject Manlys two year 300k offer ($150k per year).
He says he can't play for that... Although he says he'll still be in the NRL next year
Mozer will be locked in as the 14.
He's shown he's not ready to start yet, especially defensively. No obviously I'm not Madge, but I suspect he'll keep him on the bench for another 12 months continuing to build his game time.
Out of the remaining three hookers, Billy has the best defence and...
TBF, I doubt any of us know what we'd do in that situation.
but i suspect most people would be listening to the advice of their lawyers (especially if you've got the sort of money a top sports player makes)
