Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The broncs have Willison and Te Cura coming through

Willison will become their number one prop, but the jury is still out on whether Te Kura is athletic enough and fit enough to handle the speed of the game.

How boring is the Super Bowl

I've have to watch it to find out

The TPA would be massive

Souths still saying 1.2 so if thats true then the TPA’s would be massive

After NRL, soccer and tennis not really interested in much else, maybe the group 1 racing that sums it up.

As a Seahawks fan, I found it enthralling, actually.
If our Tigers can show some of that defensive resolve, we'll go ok.

It's tough.

The more I see all the horse trading that goes on, the more I think the contract length doesn't really matter...if they want to get out, they can get out.

Having a 2 year plus get out clauses doesn't change much, but avoids the inevitable blow up and media circus that comes with it.

If the player is happy, they'll stay. If not, they would have agitated anyway.

The big players have the leverage and the market dictates the terms they can negotiate.

Melbourne, Roosters etc. Are able to keep players even on unders. We can joke about salary cap rorting, but no amount of money would keep you at a club if it wasn't a great place to turn up each day.

There’s only 1 premier each year and a lot of players aren’t “happy” unless they have a chance at it. Having a salary cap only disadvantages the weaker teams in this regard.

And we thought it only happened at Wests Tigers.
It makes sense now, he wanted those clauses so he has the option to go to RL360 whenever he feels like it.
If RL360 returns as planned for 2028 he will only play the one season with Souths.

Everyone’s a winner (except NRL lol)

Fantastic half-time show was easily the highlight, and the good guys team won too.

 

[Odessa]

The Broncos were not going to sign him for 3 years with clauses that he can leave after each season if he wants to.
I thought it was only Wests Tigers via Richo who allowed these type of clauses, but it appears the Rabbitohs are also suckers.

Bennett would not as well

How so?

Well he has.
At age 76 I don’t think he would be as switched on as he was a few years back.

💯 agree. Thoroughly unimpressive.

Watched it at the Sporting Globe in town.

Might have changed his tune since they lost Suaalii to the roosters
