Same but I don't rate Bullermore. I just think very little of Hetherington.

Doesn't work that way if Faatape and Feledy are on minimum. You need to allocate a spot and funds. Can't just spend 700K on one player and have 2 vacant spots.

Couldn't agree more. It was stupid to so blatantly and repeatedly slow the ruck. I think all teams obviously use the tactic of doing it once early in the set to control the set (Storms mantra for years was control the first tackle you control the set). Then slow as required, as in when you have...

See above. But, there isn't actually any requirement for it though Lestronges description of it being like a social contract isn't to far off the mark.

That wasn't a dominant tackle.

Also, whilst I didn't hear it myself to confirm, commentators suggested that Luai was given a warning on the run after the previous infringement. Don't need to stop the game to give a warning, particularly in the 6 again era.

Agree and disagree. They do push the boundaries probably more than any other team and thus get plenty of justified penalties against them. It also means because of their reputation guys like Radley get some unjust penalties against them as well.

It's not actually written anywhere in the rules that it is a mandatory sin binning. It is however part of the guidelines that are sent out to clubs about how the rules will be interpreted this year and has been the last couple years.

Twal always puts his hand up for a tough carry in attack. He has minimal impact carrying the ball but can not knock his willingness (his attack is like Seyfarth's defence). His defence however is one of the reasons we get carved up through the middle. It's not his actual tackling, as I said he...

Twal doesn't cover others in defence. He makes his tackles and his tackles only. Seyfarth does work his ass off for others, though agree with other commenters that he does so with winning any collisions.

Just need some communication from the cover defence. If you hear "I've got him" (or something similar) you pull out. If you don't you tackle.

There is plenty of ways to get around pretty much any rule, especially when the investigating body is as weak as the NRL integrity unit. But is it worth the effort to do so really worth it when the fruits of that labour is Lachlan Galvin?

But Laundy, from a business perspective, can not top up contracts. Businesses need to account for spending and any business He is associated with can not pay Galvin (though admittedly there is only so much integrity unit and heck even ato can investigate. If the accusation was he is reportedly...

Well, Your initial post was that Laundy hotels was making the payments. Do I think he potentially could be influencing other businesses to do so? Potentially, yes. Do I think he really would be? Not really. Those businesses would have to be a obviously not connected to his. So I don't think he...

I don't see where he could possibly start? Maybe cowboys or Souths?

I don't believe this at all. Laundy isn't allowed to offer 3rd party payments. Do I think every club, including the Dogs in this very deal breach the cap in some way? Probably. But I also think it is entirely reasonable for someone to take a pay cut to get out of a work environment in which they...

Lol, just because Cleary had an off night you don't bring in a sub par centre because he is handy off the tee. Particularly when Mitchell, Crichton and Lomax are all decent goal kickers.

If Too keeps his arms down rather than wrapping them around Coates he avoids the penalty regardless of Coates initiating contact (by competing for the ball). Too could have easily avoided the penalty. However it would also mean giving Coates free play at the ball and increase his scoring...

l Correct decision but a ridiculous rule.

I've seen a few mentions of Skelton's injury history. Obviously I know he's had a couple hamstring issues this year. Has he had persistent problems previously?
