Wasn't Todd Greenberg the Canterbury CEO when he 'persuaded' Des Hasler to leave Manly to join the Bulldogs when Des still had a year to run on his contract? It's all a bit ironic isn't it?

Massive Disclaimer to begin with…. I caught up with a mate who has a lot of inside goss on the Waratahs. Apparently Adam Ashley-Cooper wants to come back to the Waratahs (from Japan) to try and qualify for the 2019 World Cup. He would effectively be in direct competition with Curtis Rona for...

Benny was terrific for the club the way he helped Balmain Leagues Club!

I'll start by saying that I think Ivan has improved the side since taking over. So that's a tick. Though given the results for the years before that, it would have been hard to go backwards. Having said that he's not the messiah. He's got a worse than 50% success rate. Two things to consider...

EELS TO OFFLOAD MOSES WE keep hearing Parramatta are shopping around half Mitchell Moses after a decision was made that either Corey Norman or the former Wests Tigers star has to go. The Eels know Moses will attract more interest from rival clubs, which means it will be easier to offload him...

Ivan Cleary has no plans to jump off Tigers’ bus, will commit future to club on Saturday DAVID RICCIO, EXCLUSIVE, The Daily Telegraph an hour ago THEY’RE the words every Wests Tigers fan has been waiting to hear. Ivan Cleary is on the bus. The Wests Tigers coach will on Saturday declare his...

I don't want to get too dramatic about this, but wasn't this the sort of behaviour that led to Banking Royal Commission? People start acting with impunity as regards the law (you can't encourage someone to break their contract) and it's a downhill spiral….

MARTY’S A LITTLE ON THE NOSE THE latest problem for Manly centres around Kiwi Test prop Marty Taupau and rumours he’s offside with some of his teammates. Rival clubs are aware of the drum on Taupau and some have baulked at looking to sign him given the rumblings coming out of the Sea Eagles’...

It's going to be a late night…. This is the second grade isn't it?

Apparently the Panthers already have a replacement for Nathan…. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/panthers-young-gun-jarome-luai-has-big-future-in-penrith/news-story/ee7edd77f3dbde939a64ec8d663f6e2d

WOODS AIN’T NO KNIGHT AARON Woods has ruled out any chance of going to Newcastle, which was hyped about on the NRL grapevine this week. Woods prefers a return to Leichhardt with Ivan Cleary’s Tigers now the Bulldogs are quietly shopping him around in a bid to alleviate their salary cap problems...

It doesn't matter what the Bulldogs want. Aaron holds all of the cards. The Bulldogs can't say you have to go to the Knights or the Roosters for that matter. Aaron is within his contractual rights to say, 'thanks I'll stay here and collect my full contract' If the Bulldogs want to move him on...
