dont start quoting loyalty and development in nrl these days because its dead and has been for a long time. yep i agree the roosters are ruthless but ther business model clearly works and has done for a long time. we have had plenty of players through our system who dont feel like they were...

if you choose to do a arts degree with no end substance and arent prepared to do the hard yards then thats what you get. there is plenty of work around if you want to get in and have a crack and work your way up - im in the corporate world and there are a mountain of jobs and opportunties we...

you arent comparing 2 like for like careers though, so your comment cant cover what your proposing. you have 40 years of your chosen profession, nrl players have far less than that. hell - if someone said to me here is 375 instead of 125 i would be on the 3.45pm express with no stops out of my...

having a degree is a better fall back than no degree, especially when trying to compare between that and a nrl career.

comparing university to an nrl career is absolute horse shit. why not take the triple amount of cash for a nrl career that generally has a max limit of 10 years!! and thats for the lucky ones. majority of players dont get anywhere near a 100 games. have you considered that jnik and hastings were...

very big shoes to fill, dennis watt was and is a class act. seriously good operator and top bloke too

wow, sounds like dooms day is coming. in regards to his staph infection, that can happen to anyone who has surgery/goes to hospital. i think your comment is pretty ordinary about oates not having a long career - he has already played over 90 first grade games. just like any player, their...

so exactly what we did with payne hass, you will find that we didnt develop him but poached him from another club.

would jnik evev have got a game if he stayed? also he probably earned close to $1m for his 3 years down in sydney. hard to be grudge a kid that, he probably bought his parents/family a house with the money. are you gonna top his income up when footy is all over?? as for loyalty, why do the...

only time will tell, bennett is normally reluctant to play young kids in grade at an early age. i would think this lad may need time in cup first to see how he handles that. wayne is generally known to go with experience first over youth.

i agree. oates was near unstoppable in the back row in the 20's, so i am comfortable he will handle it. yep i know its a big difference to nrl but lets go back a few years when hook used to bring oates into the second row late in games. he was running off hunt a bit and was causing all sorts of...

he will get some big offers elsewhere to play back row. his manager only did a 1 year extension for this specific reason. be interesting to see how it unfolds

the numbers are pretty close and he is dighing his heels in as a f.u to the club for shafting him

you are off the mark about parcell. he got his chance elsewhere and is now reaping the rewards. as @1910 noted he did his time in cup and wasnt offered a top 25 deal with the broncos so what is he supposed to do?

so if your current employer offers you a base deal of say 100k and another employer comes in and doubles that or triples that would you stay? he has the ability to set himself up for life. footy players dont have 30yr careers so they meed to earn while they can during the 10yr window. are you...

yeah it was a bad one for sure. hopefully come back in good order. i think he has big upside

terupe is a big smokey, i liked him a lot before he got injured. dont be surprised to see him feature next year in the top grade. he is a big unit and incredible under the high ball.

the shitty part too is the coroner is highly unlikely to have ever played the game as well at a high level or even at all. so how can he be 100% clear that there was no intention to wrap with the arms after impact!!! its pretty damn ordinary what he has said, the way it reads is that the coroner...

god help us if brenko lee ends up at the club. that bloke is possibly the worst defender and decision maker in the centres i have ever seen. imagine him outside milf? fml!!!

reading the coroners quotes would suggest to me that a silver tongue legal team preying on other peoples misery will be all over this in the search for a headline and cash grab!!!
