Reporting was that his business partner has taken over his clients....no word if he sold his share of the business.

Smoke an mirrors, he probably does not need to be accredited to part own an agency, as long as the agents negotiating and signing contracts are. So unless he no longer has a financial stake in the agency than this is all bull$hit.

What we are willing to pay someone is not necessarily the market value as we do have to pay overs because we are an unattractive club. All of that is taken into consideration when assigning market value. the only time its black and white is when a player is walking out on a contract...they cant...

Yet he was not really worth $1m at the time, we were paying overs to keep him at our club. the only time the value is locked in is a situation where Luai had an exit clause and we had $1.2m in his contract. When its not that black and white it becomes a argument between the club and the NRL as...

They dont have to pay the player market price, its just what they value the player under their cap. They could pay hudson 900k however they need to assign 1.1m to their cap.

This is where we see the manipulation, these guys never went to market so the clubs were not competing with true market value, rather a number based on their experience, age, injury history etc...Plus the Roosters and broncos have significant influence and therefore can get better outcomes than...

Not just PNG, all players have to be market value on the salary cap no matter where they play. Luai had a contract with us at $1.2m and therefore even if PNG paid him $900k, the 1.2m will be the amount shown on the cap. This is why teams like the roosters, storm, broncos very rarely allow...

If he comes out and puts on a clinic his price may go up.

Thanks RHS. Wife and I head up to the blue mountains at least once a fortnight and complete a decent hike. Dropping about 34kg's 4 years ago ( I was a prop 6ft3 played at about 110kg's, blew out to 132, now down to 98) has made a massive difference. I feel a bit like Benjamin Button getting...

I just turned 53, only ailments are from injuries i copped when i played League and Union 30yrs ago, lower back and knee (knee also from a motorbike accident) once I stopped playing footy and entered the workforce I did a great deal of international travel for many years and my health suffered...

The thing about that is that Pole ran a line that made the second rower hesitate and give Terrell the space to score the try untouched, so if Pole did not run that line the space may not have been there. Drinkwater did shift a little to the right to close the space and therefore the contact with...

This is where the other teams excel and are able to nab players that are on the cusp of breaking out. Wah's have a knack of doing it and so do a few others. Our problem is we want to be a development club and be successful in first grade, you need to catch lightning in a bottle (and keep it...

He recently said he sees himself as a half, however is enjoying playing centre at the moment. Purely saying this because he has been given the script by Gus and Ciraldo. Crichton is horrible at 6 and the only reason he is there is so that Galvin can keep the 7 on his back and play as a 5/8...

It always astounds me that we have a massive nursery in the southwest and seem to only focus on the runts of the litter when it comes to forwards. I would love to see the stats one day of players in the NRL that hail from our nursery area, as i believe all the good ones are being poached before...

Hi BWG, I have to say i really enjoy your posts about our next generation players. There is always talk of Pole's younger brother and how we would love to see him come to WT...have you seen much of him? and if so, how does he rate compared to the young guys we have coming through?
