Actually I believe the NRL covers the base costs of travel to standard away games, but that's not necessarily true if you attempt to take two teams overseas.

Surely you can't just move one of your home games at your discretion and compel the opponent to travel to that new location.

So … The NrL would need to pay for the QLD team to travel to Sydney to play the Tigers … perhaps the difference to go to say Dunedin would be paid by the organisers as part of the deal.,, or perhaps the NRL just pays it ..,

I mean … teams have been taking games to Perth for years right .., who pays those costs ? I assume likely the WA Govt who have paid for the games ..,not a cheap place to travel too from the East Coast

This is not about resources though, any strong willed club would have sacked AD for refusing to play to reinforce culture and standards around the place, dosen't matter if you are a flegg player or the best in the first team

I hated the decision around Douehi but successful clubs have great resources and can attract and replace them, so the Douehi 's of the world don't pull a stunt like he did in the first place.
A West's Tigers coach has little to work with lacks funding and support off the field and survives in the knowledge the players historically are usually backed ahead of coaches.
Last year he dropped Lachy Galvin and the media turned up to watch him play and get a reaction - that doesn't happen at strong willed/successful clubs either.

Benji was totally compromised...Douhi,easily his best attacking player(regardless of his flaws)wld have been sorely missed if we let him go,and candidly Benji no longer has the pulling power to attract a suitable replacement
So he needed Douhi
And Benji is unable to develop our junior playmakers into better players
So he bought time(for himself) by selling out to ADs unacceptable tantrums
Ive never seen that work in any industry
Dont expect 27 to be much different
Is Potter still available ??Impressive

Benji wasn't compromised at all, he allowed himself to be

What I read was Dunedin was offering any team 1 million to play their games at the Stadium

Latu is gonna be interesting negotation..performance clauses rule I suspect
Supposedly on $500k ..2027 is his final year.Done nothing
If u look past his very numerous injuries over past two years,its difficult to identify whether when fully fit whether hes gonna make it
Ive seen glimpses of his talent...but was outplayed by Conti,and not up to Large who I never understood why we let go
Roosters clearly have someone lined up for Sam..probably Deardon??
Maybe some fall out of a proven 7 which mite offer better value than Latu

Outplayed by Conti ?? Look at the scoreboard mate , Latu played a halves role in a team of superstars he fed them the ball in time and space .. you people seriously do my head in with the absolute nonsense you post ,

Yeah,I do.Small sample size I know...
But we put everything on Latu and threw away Conti and Large,which never made any sense to me
Theyre all kids..still are..and u never know how their talent will evolve
Feeling very vulnerable committed to Latu and Madden for 27 as our 7s
Need better

We have better .. his name is Javon Andrews .. same age as Coby Black that you all saw play one game of first grade and started pining for .. Coby is a teriffic talent , but Javon played the same games this season in the same comp and had double ,, DOUBLE the try assists and line break assists of the next best player in the entire comp .. while working with our reserve grade team .. maybe give him a go before we lose him and spend the next decade asking why he left
