Not arguing the hypocrisy of it. But that's their reason.

Wasn't sure where to post.

For anyone interested, the Tigers v Roosters game in Rd 1 last year is on Ch502 now, it makes up one of the 2000's Greatest Games.

What a surprise, Cronk is now working through the details of a paid coaching role at the roosters on top of his Harvard education. Obviously has never been discussed before and was not part of the package that lured him from Melbourne.

He has gone through the same coaching courses that Inglis did before he decided to sacrifice his $1m playing contract retire and take up a $400k a year influencer/life coach role for the players at souths.

Seriously, if the NRL can't work out that these are inducements outside of the players playing contract, they must have their heads so far up their own asses that they can lick the back of their own uvula.

So what's stopping us doing this ?

The only problem is that the microscope will be on Wests tigers not teams like Roosters? Remember Pascoe's episode this year?

and the nrl wouldn't let us have Loz as an advisor because he commentates on fox? NRL love us

He works for a betting agency.

Using the TAX analogy, the Roosters are Kerry Packer, never paid income tax, due to smart accountants; the Tigers are just like Joe Citizen, pays 30-50% income tax
