Well, looks like it happened!

Every time Corowa would get the ball the Crowd at LO would jump to their feet. Such speed. I'd like to see Ado Carr given a go.

My only question mark is his build. Playing NRL on the wing it helps if you either have some bulk about you or a low centre of gravity like Nofo.

Although speed makes up for a lot of deficiency

He has the same build as the former very good winger Chicka Ferguson who scored a try for Canberra in their 1989 grand final win.

But looking at my 2008 season preview guide, there weren't many 100kg forwards in the game. The build of players has changed a lot over the years

Fox sports just announced that JAC signed with Storm for 3 years

Maybe we have re-signed Milone and upgraded his contract and didn't have enough cap space for JAC

Wouldn't surprise me at all. He was first choice centre behind the pair we have now.

Welp, JAC signs with the storm.

Damn that sucks.

 

[Demps]

Ouch.

 

[westTAHger]

Maybe JAC moving on was one of the players going elsewhere, that Tiger Torch hinted about.

Regardless of this, best of luck to JAC.

Heard on NRL on fox that Melbourne are cash strapped….looks like they may have opened a new book for this signing.

Ridiculous if true.. Beats me how big clubs can, just afford to pull out contract offers without blinking an eye… And the nrl doesn't even flinch.. Broncos, storm, roosters.... Just unbelievable.. There really needs to be a new system that's fair.

:laughing: :laughing:

wanna know how? cause players want to go to melbourne, broncos, roosters.

who the HELL would want to go to the tigers or knights?? we have to pay overs, its that simple.

not to mention when we have chris lawrence on like 600k, broses on a million between them and 950k for farah - hardly helps our ability to buy players.

Do you really think they go there on next to nothing tho? I agree we have to pay overs atm, these clubs are packed full of internationals yet others struggle with park footballers… To me this is why the cap is useless and needs to be changed..

….And the reason why those clubs are successful? They have the best rosters to work with, which are assembled through dubious means. Rich get richer scenario.
If WT were allowed to 'manage' the salary cap in the way some of these other teams are we would have better players, which equals success on the field,which equals players wanting to come to your club on supposedly less money.
