This ids the first time in a long time I feel our recruitment has placed as much importance on our depth as our first grade signings.

I agree to a point, though my whole argument with the current system is we assume it's the best we can do. Imo I'd prefer the draft system, though a soft cap could work as well. My main point is the game needs to look at doing something to sort the issue out.

A good 40 - 50 min prop to help May and a lock would be perfect

The development systems in the afl academies seem to be fine. Terry Hill already had a contract signed with Wests when he had been drafted by the Roosters. But if players are off contract where's the precedent. In terms of how the games run. I love league but it's a mickey mouse semi...

Wonder what's going to happen with Hunt, if he pushes his way back onto the bench perminatly or if he never sees first grade again with us.

360k for 2 years is a no brainer for him imo. I was reluctant to re-sign him. But if we bump our offer by 10k it's only 360k a year. That's nothing for his utility value.

Right because a salary cap system that was designed to work in conjunction with a draft would be worse than that same salary cap system that has a hard cap but allows unlimited 3rd party arrangements. Kent was saying on his podcast he knows of currently 6 clubs breaking the salary cap to varying...

Never forget the interview he did a wee bit ago. When asked where his preferred position to play was, he said wherever Benji thinks is best for the team.

Kiraz?

Kenty was saying on his podcast that the rlpa could agree to one in a bargaining agreement but the n.r.l would have to give a pretty big lump sum payment to them for the players for them to agree with it. What he also said was that the genesis for the rlpa came from an ex player in the 70s I...

Theory running around is the N.R.L need to agree to a lumpsum payment with the R.L.P.A for them to agree to it being implemented whenever they write up that agreement. So if the R.L.P.A could come up with a number it could happen. But imo I doubt they ever would.

THERE HAS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION

So in theory there may be a way over time for the N.R.L to adopt an A.F.L style draft and player trading system. Without any legal issues.

All the supporters of other teams need to do the next time the Bulldogs supporters give them a gob full is file a formal complaint with the N.R.L

They do. If you say a stupid racial remark, you could be banned for life. I don't agree with doing it, iv never done it. But seriously you say a few words, and it gets you banned for life.

But the company or employer in this instance would be Wests Tigers. If the N.R.L refused to register the contract as he was in prison, just wonder if he would have a legal avenue to challenge it. I'm not saying we should or shouldn't try to sign him, just curious how he could attempt it.

Then by that theory they could reimplement a draft. Terry Hill won the supreme court case for a restraint of trade, but perhaps if we revisit it the N.R.L could argue the players not willing to participate could ply their trade overseas.

Just curious if he is on parole. If the court as part of his parole allow him to travel and take part in the game, if the N.R.L could legally enforce not allowing his contract to be registered. Just curious how they could enforce it.

AD gets held to that standard because he's not a rookie anymore. Latu is only 19. We need to keep it in perspective, The way I look at it Jerome Hughes didn't get shifted to halfback till he was 25. Had a few injury issues but got into the Storm system, learned then was put in. Latu is only 19...

Reed was saying the Tigers upped the offer by adding an extra year to the contract. So we're now offering a 2 year extension not just a 1 year deal.
