I think being the new team Perth will need to throw massive overs to get the big names. Sure Mals coaching but as a consultant for thr Titans he was hopeless. He coached Qld imo that was the best league side ever assembled and he coached Australia. Mals had success with the squads that coach...

They don't get a 3 year salary cap exemption for being a new team?

No idea but now I feel like steak

Imo I couldn't give a toss about any of them. Iv made what I think clear that if any of our three former or current owners were competent they wouldn't have needed to merge. Our owners are all deadbeats. Can't wait to see the back of the lot of them. Wests Campbelltown cut and run as soon as...

People need to settle a bit on Latu, need to remember he's only 19. Did they expect the kid to win the Dally M medal. I'm just stoked he's put a good month of consistent first grade togeather without breaking down.

Kelce the other thing is Latu hasn't had a roper preseason yet. The hard part is done his D is great. It's just his game management and kicking game he needs to spend the offseason working on with Luai. An offseason togeather will do Latu wonders. He also needs to find his voice. Reckon he is...

Need an out and out prop who can play good minutes but at the same time have impact on the pitch. We need a mix of May's minutes and work ethic and Hunts line bending ability when he was firing. A forward with those 2 qualities Tom and Douhi with a preseason at 13 and Latu at 7, as long as our...

Curious to see how much gets thrown at Bula from r360

Iv got no doubt that will be sorted, we also need our depth sorted real bad. We can have a great top 20 but our talent past that falls off a cliff, in a long season where we want to remain competative, our depth is vital. It's been a massive issue for years for us. Now there is an attempt to...

Jye grey is being offered 920k to join. https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/jye-gray-offered-monster-deal-to-join-rebel-r360-league-in-fresh-blow-to-rabbitohs/news-story/e461633579f2e931ef3e65967292a41a

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...
