So who is next?

Stefano Utoikamanu continues to be harassed at Parra training by Moses and Matterson, decks both of them.

That's not the way it would go though. Moses and Matterson would go, snot nosed, bawling to the NRL and Greenberg would deregister Stefano.

I hope they are still holding out JAC

Manly got no relief for Walker and it took the Drags ages into the season to get relief for De Bellend and that was an extreme...

I don't believe the no fault policy works that way.....

 

[tiger05premier]

Damn we r making a lot of signing

Turdburg simply must fine us for going over the cap............

:smirk:

No he will just fine us for signing Madge

We were never meant to have such a smart operator at the club like other clubs do

We have broken the rule that was made just for us

DeBellin's case was a precedent -
Took a bit of time, you're right.
Court dates & adjournments
Factor in also there's no doubt.

"In announcing the ARL Commission's new 'no-fault stand down policy' for players facing serious criminal charges, Todd Greenberg and Peter Beattie both stated that clubs could apply for salary cap relief if affected by off-field incidents.

For the Dragons though the fact the policy is still being determined by head office leaves them racing the clock if they’re to chase a replacement.

St George Illawarra are yet to indicate whether they will apply for the compensation, but it is believed they could have as much as $400,000 to spend – about two-thirds of de Belin's 2019 salary less the four months he has already been paid." - NRL.com

"$239,000 in salary cap dispensation from the NRL to buy a replacement for the stood-down Jack de Belin.

The amount is what de Belin is owed for the remainder of this year, with payments for the 2019 season having begun in November"

I suppose if you can get a real talent you sign them. Cap penalty for Farah is lifted after this year.

Don’t be a wet sponge, I was just trying to have a bit of fun.

https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2020/01/29/wests-tigers-appoint-ron-griffiths-as-coaching-assistant/

I'm slightly confused , I'm 100% behind us trying to support our indigenous players on and off field , but hiring a assistant coach based on the fact he is indigenous

Maybe I'm too far away , but I've never heard of the bloke before

He was with WT'S last year and has been promoted to a more senior role MADGE would not have employed him just because he's indigenous MADGE is more professional than that!

I think you have missed my point , we could have signed someone to liaise with the indigenous players and the coaching staff

I don't get why he needs to be an assistant coach , a lot more highly credentialed assistant coaches who are indigenous and even have past NRL experience both on and off field

It shouldn't matter what your skin tone is when coaching , if you can't get it right with a player whether he is orange purple green or red you probably shouldn't be in the role ....

A good coach is a good coach .....period

The way it is portrayed is the club almost seems to be reacting to the LM situation or that we have a issue with indigenous players

He's coached previously has apparently impressed MADGE there is no way WT'S have a problem with indigenous players they already have programmes in place and this appointment strengthens there position footballers tend to be more comfortable dealing with football backgrounded people than someone from outside

Put yourself in the players shoes for a sec , are you more likely to listen to the advice from say a Mal Meninga , ArTie Beetson , Thurston , Inglis ,Thaiday Widders ,Peachey , Preston Campbell etc over a bloke who hasn't played a game of NRL

Yeah, Mal's doing an awesome job as Head Of Performance at the Titans....really had 'em firing last season.
And Inglis is probably not the best bloke to take advice from, he's had nearly the whole gammut of indescretions since he first played NRL. Anyone else probably wouldn't of still been in the game after doing everything he did.

I hate all Qlders ...blah blah blah

Hahahahaha, why, what have they done to you?
Stating facts bud, if that hurts then so be it.
Big Mal is tearing it up on the glitter strip.

Fair enough....be interesting to see how they treat Reynolds case..

So this job that Farah supposedly agreed to and we got stung for: it didn't even eventuate that he took up this role did it?

The one and the same.

 

[Ponyo]

Still have to apply & get approved -
Must be a like for like replacement,
Sure it's not as black & white @Geo

"While the NRL is willing to provide salary cap relief to those affected by the "no-fault stand down" rule, some clubs may baulk at the opportunity given they will have to pay for another player out of their own pockets.

The NRL covers the salary cap in the grant provided to clubs, however additional expenditure doesn't come out of the governing body's coffers." - Via NRL.com
