Not every rugby league player in the south west grows up supporting the WT's - if they have a chance to play for the club they support they are going to take it.

How does anyone know that the club didn't get involved but the players weren't interested. Payers do have more interests than money sometimes.

To get any benefit you must be an Australian citizen eligible to pay tax in Australia. Having a work visa means you would not satisfy this criteria. There is no tax agreement of a similar nature to the stupid one the ALP provided that exists with any other country. They would be subject to the...

That's not the job of the NRL - put the $600M into defence not NRL

I have been away for a while and so just to catch up and not read 100 pages of stuff have we (1) got to the sack Benji stage ( or is that to come ?) (2) Which players (other than Luai) have we scapegoated for the epic failures over the last 3 months ( apart from Alex S) ? (3) Have we signed...

Applies to every coach for every team in the competition. Just the way it is in all sports

Why ??

So much angst over things we will never know the truth about

Not much if you're not around to see it eventuate I guess.

Being physically injured to the extent that you cannot continue (or be reasonably be expected to continue) to play at the level required. It's normally a conversation between the doctors and the insurer and the player and club.

I guess all those writing off the interim CEO may have to accept he's done a good job with the latest signing and getting Luai off the books

Done deal: Jahream Bula signs with Wests Tigers until end of 2030

But Bula has resigned till 2030

There are taxation implications if they don't.

At the first sign of what happened there in 2024 and they will all come back - compound or no compound. ttps://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/australias-neighbour-in-strife-looting-and-violence-in-papua-new-guinea-as-police-strike/2qwf1ti45

It's not borderline 3rd world- it's worse than that.

When will the team from Timor Leste be admitted ??

The PNG government has a significant history of corruption - the presence of a NRL team won't stop a future government selling out if the price is right. Wait until one of the major teams lose stars they howling will be deafening.

I never mentioned FIFA or the IOC so your comments are ridiculous. It's $600M dollars that could be better spent elsewhere rather than on a sport in a 3rd world country where corruption and violence are endemic . From 1972 to today, Australia has provided more than A$20 billion in aid to Papua...

Government's can change whatever legislation they want - and will do if there's enough public interest in doing so. I'm don't think that $600M of Australian taxpayers money to subsize a sport is good value. If they want to subsidize Australian sport then give the funds to the AOC not some...
