Meh, either way he wasn't getting a run with us, may as well look elsewhere.
You guys may be right - but I remember reading that Paulo's incident was in 2015 and since then he had moved from Sydney etc, also the courts only fined him $300 and loss of driver's licence for 1 year.
Somehow, Lovett's recent Coke verdict, on the back of Barba's whole debacle, might put a bit more pressure on Greenberg to take a stronger stand. Will be interesting to see what does happen.

McDonnell signing his first Tiger.
I liked Rod, good man, honest and talented toiler. With the young props we have coming through that also need opportunities he probably wouldn't have got a look in, even with injuries. I hope he gets to play in the NRL at least once in his career.

Yep Paulo suspended from round 1, the 9s & All Stars game + required to complete community service. For common assault & reckless driving. I'm not sure exactly what "common assault" refers to but this punishment doesn't seem too harsh to me. Lovett might still get off lightly yet.

Griffin is the last to go of the 3 'no value' signings of 2016\. Jessie the 7s union player was the first, Mcconachie 'the Jake Mamo belter' was 2nd and now Griffin. Got nothing from any of them
Griffin won't play first grade at the dogs.

I'm sad to see Rod go without at least having been given at least a game in the NRL side,he is a hard worker and resilient man….he at least stuck by the club,gave his best in State Cup and presented himself very well off the field...its just a shame that so many have much more potential than Rod but seem to take it for granted..all the best in the future Rod your hard work will not go unnoticed...

The tigers were smart there. He would have been a great influence during preseason. May have been part of the bargain with rod.
Seems like a top bloke. Wish him all the best at the dogs.

Not sure how that could happen, I would have thought RG would have been on a second tier contract and if he was on a top 25 contract it would have to be replaced by another player and you would think his contract value would be at the lower end of the scale.
Anyway let's hope your right and our 2017 cap has been sorted without shedding any more players

How does any club get this close to the season start before finding out that they are over the cap and have to can players?
Do they have their accounts done by a Year Three schoolkid

Is it a possibility there could have been some reshuffling of too 25 or is this set? For example, could someone like suli being added to top tier, Lovett dropped out of 25 with salary now against 2nd tier, potentially putting us over he 2nd tier cap? Hence griffins release to balance out second tier cap?
Not exactly sure how it works but thought maybe there had been some shuffling due to new contracts and performance at training etc?

How does the NRL register an upgraded contract for Suli if we're over the cap ?
Unless of course the over the cap rumour was fake news …

Maybe they are given to round one to have the books in order??? Although I was under the impression you could only register contract when your cap was in order
