It’s basically a 5 team league Broncos. Easts, Rabbits, Melbourne, Eels. It will eventually backfire fans turn off over time. One of the most biased salary cap leagues in the world.

@balmain-boy As for Insurance Policies I recall hearing (could've been a rumour - after all, we thrive on that over here) that Mats & Packer signed on with The Evil Ivan without having undergone Medicals. If that's so, then how would any Insurance Company cover them unless the premiums are thru the roof? Is this the real delay in getting Mats all clear cos there is no medical evidence?

Now it’s not the first time that rubbish has been dragged out for discussion.
It is very unlikely that a respected Chairperson such as Marina Go Or the Board of WT who at the time had close association / NRL controls .... would allow such unprofessional behaviour.
I’m kind of sick of people bringing such unsubstantiated rumours without quoting their source.

Yeah, 2 or those 5 teams have had amongst the biggest salary cap penalties in the history of the sport, but it is all a anti Wests conspiracy apparently!

According to SMH , the NRL will take up to a month for their decision on Burgess;

“NRL could take up to a month to make $3m salary cap call on Burgess”

Eels lost two players and ran back the same team they were hit with a feather duster. Storm were under the old administration. The issue is we don’t have a draft to penalise if you could dock 5 first round picks you can hurt a club for a decade for cheating.

It’s not a Tigers conspiracy Dragons, Dogs, Sharks, Raiders, Manly get hammered by officals, rarely get good draws and are intentionally disadvantaged.

I agree that the Parra penalty should have been bigger but it was still a heavy penalty. They had 5 board members deregistered, $1m in fines and lost 12 points.

$1.7m to splash: Wests Tigers build war chest after releasing Ryan Matterson and retiring Ben Matulino

The Wests Tigers will have a $1.7 million war chest for next season with the NRL approving the medical retirement of Kiwi international Ben Matulino and the club agreeing to release Ryan Matterson effective immediately.

In a huge coup for the Tigers, the club will have $1.7 million to spend on improving their roster for premiership-winning coach Michael Maguire next year.
The timing is perfect with November 1 ticking over on Friday and players off contract for 2021 all free agents.

The Matterson issue has been resolved with the Tigers agreeing to cut ties after being unable to negotiate any player trades with rival NRL clubs.

Matulino had 12-months to run on a deal worth almost $800,000-per-season signed under previous coach Ivan Cleary.

The NRL has been reviewing his case to be medically retired for more than a month and has recently approved it.

The move means the Tigers get almost $800,000 back in their salary cap for next year.

Coupled with Matterson’s money and the release of Kiwi Test centre Esarn Masters to the North Queensland Cowboys and for The Tigers are targeting Gold Coast duo Jai Arrow and AJ Brimson and are also in talks with Dragons backrower Luciano Leilua.

I wish people would use the word bias in the right context.

You might display bias, which would mean you are biased.

Come on guys - it's not that hard.

 

[JD Tiger]

Saw a note on Twitter, NBWT who said it was official Matulino medically retired. Clearing up (get ready for it) $800k for next year. The $1.7m all up is Mats, Marsters and Matterson. So Marsters was on just under $500k?

Maybe we could get someone of high quality now? A couple even.
