for mine murphy is not a good option, he is poor defensively and i just dont think he is up to the nrl standard. i have watched him at norths the last 2 years - kicking game is bog average too and runs around abusing his own players for errors he makes.
im hearing ya - greenturd was mooted as the all might saviour. hahahaha what a joke he is.
fyi - if ya ever get a chance to check out nrl head quarters make sure you do. their is dead driftwood everywhere in that joint and no one knows what the next person does. wages bill must be fucking...
you would be surprised how strong the brown paper bag gang still is these days.
half of the boneheads dont know how to park their cash so they gamble it away or go get on the nose beers!!!
you are on the right track mork, here is an old one that is well known amongst the nrl clubs-
developer associated to a club sells land to an unnamed player for x $ below market value. they then build a house for x $ below everyday joe's cost to build. technically the house and land should have...
i see your point and i agree some of these clubs have been poorly run but the nrl cant run the risk of an epl stye format. our fan base and tv market isnt big enough and we as a game are only an east coast of aus product - the game has minimal exposure outside of nsw and qld. if they adopted the...
the issue with scrapping the salary cap is we would end up with 4 to 6 teams playing in the nrl.
broncos, roosters, storm, cows and maybe dogs and eels - although if the eels leagues club ever pulled their funding the footy club would be cooked. the others wouldnt survive
i agree 100%, this whole thing about the managers sourcing their own deals is hilarious.
the club big boys - and this is at all clubs have the best contacts and relationships with the corporate world so a quick call or intro would be easy to arrange.
i think the whole tpa issue is a gee up, the...
has anyone ever heard the saying "there's **** all in blackall"?
well i couldnt find anything to rhyme with that to suit adelaide but same sentiment (no offense to the adeladians). unless your a female on a briesmaid trip to the barossa or you want to get eaten bygreat white sharks there aint...
i wouldnt have a clue to be honest. i know the knights wont let him go early and a lot will depend on how the year unfolds for him.
he could stay in newy and be next in line or if he did come north he may still be 2nd or 3rd in the queue up here and prob less money.
he should have some good...
lamb isnt a bad kid but more suited to 6 than a typical 7 role i think.
i like him as a player but i am not sold just yet, he sort of reminds me of a shane perry type - handy skills but not overly quick (i could well be wrong though about his pace)
be fucked if i know why there is such a love affair with woods.
his defense is seriously softer than a pensioners turd.
with rcg, if i were in charge of a club or recruitment he would be top of my list. you could build a club around him
he was ready 2 years ago, but nsw have a habit of not pucking their best inform players.
they also dont like picking players who can win games or who have genuine speed.
tueali is the forgotten man here, he has a bit of x factor about him and is a very big body.
positive for him too is he has a season of cup under his belt so we know he can handle the big boys. he is a real smokey for mine. i dont know how his off season has gone though to get a guide.
another one i thought of was when costigan first came into grade at the club. that kid was like a wrecking ball and folded blokes in half.
his defense used to frighten opposition players.
crocker was also one of that enforcer mould just through sheer toughness and madness, no fear.
opposition...
