Yeah, that was the dumbest call I've seen from us in recent history. Don't know why you wouldn't find a space for Bula's wife.

I'm happy that we made this happen guys, but none of us know what we paid for them. I hope that we're not in a position again of having to pay overs because of some bad planning. It may look good now, but we need to be able to build a competitive roster.

Just bula now.... I think the Fainu's will stay regardless.

More relief than anything. Great to see!!

Back to the old Balmain argument. We need to move on - they are irrelevant. People want the best running our club. That's it. Benji is transparent, and that's why he has so much support. We can see his actions, and all feel they are the right ones. He's doing his job well. HBG operates in...

Yep, unless he has our blessing, we'd have enough ammo to take down the dogs for anti-tampering. The comments from Gould on air alone, after he had warnings on galvin, are enough to run with.

Really not great to hear. Poor bloke. Nothing in that category is minor.

Thought the masseuse on board would have sorted it out.

One thing that's interesting for PNG, is that it's far more favourable for the marque guys. But for the blokes earning the minimum $120k, it's only another $28k, excluding potential deductions. Hardly double like the commentators have been saying. Given the guys in PNG may need private health...

It was these kinds of decisions, made by the board with poor judgment, that took us down a dark place before. I love patty, one of my favourite players, and I hope I'm wrong. But with a rookie coach and a rookie NRL CEO, they needed to go with some experience on this one. It all comes back to...

I had to worry about all that when I moved to HK and Singapore. If it's the normal tax domiciliary rules, you have to sever ties with Australia and show you've moved permanently. So that can be things like selling your house, moving all your stuff (i.e. not having things in storage), no...

Id think the young guys will struggle. Will be limited girls around during a prime part of their life. The families may do a little better, but id worry for my kids being stuck in a compound.

I don't know if they can do that and still get the tax breaks.

This is amature hour that its taken so long to reactivate discussions now. Its too late with the png cat out of the bag. Should have been done earlier like richo was doing. Where is the direction and vision from this board? Piss poor.

It certainly is. Watched a few tourist videos and I certainly wouldn't be walking around alone. I fear for players who have a bad game. They're in a private condo complex, though with their own island to escape to. This is it here https://www.airways.com.pg/. I think it's being expanded for the...

Reed is also a lapdog for issac moses and a Lachie Galvin apologist. Might have something to do with it.

Yep. I do not doubt that, if the board had been left alone, they (or Richo) would have had the skills to see this coming and implement a strategy. We're unfortunately going to struggle again with these decisions. Let's hope we have enough momentum from Richo now to override the current lack of...

I think the "broke no rules" line is a bit poor TBH. Most people know that - it's the ethics and his own prior messaging that people might have an issue with.

I reckon he could have made this decision in his mind after the HBG debacle when Benji came out and affirmed that he is not removing the clauses.
