I thought Triguboff said that he would only help if he could buy the whole club? Didn't want to be in partnership with anyone...that was the driving reason why

He doesn't want to invest because he knows it's wasted money. You don't get involved in club rugby league to make big profits, you build massive apartments in Sydney. My problem with him isn't that he hasn't invested, it's that he talks crap in the media and gets positive marketing attention for free off the back of pretending like he has some emotional connection to the club. It was always business with him, and that's why he didn't save Balmain and won't do anything for the Wests Tigers. What's in it for him?
 
the amount of backs Souths are going to have next year is ridiculous. Madge and Hartigan would have to be having a look. wouldn't mind Graham, Burns or even Gebbie if he's around, have heard nothing about him in ages.

Well mate, what do you expect? Businesses give sponsorship money in return for exposure in the hope that they will profit from that exposure. The club actually promotes it this way. It's a win/win.

Why on earth would you just fork over millions of dollars to a club for zero return?

Is it just me that thinks something is fishy in this Suaali kid is going to knock back a million a year from Rugby to accept half a million a year to play with the Rabbits

Who on this forum would accept a half million pay cut to play for the Rabbits

Not me

Russell Crowe flew the family for a meet and greet, the rest they say is history, he is souths uncle Nick, and the NRL will even go as far as to bend the rules for both clubs, level playing field they say

They NEVER return from Nana Glen without a contract significantly less than what the market is offering...the Gladiator must have some real charm!!

Rustys Nana Glen compound sounds like the Neverland Ranch to me.
 
Has a guard box at the entrance . Employment there could be a retirement sweetener -hope the NRL salary cap auditotrs are monitoring the occupants.

Just Rusty safeguarding against a downturn which happened to other clubs. Dragons, Knights, Broncos etc.

Or go all out for Suaali.

Definitely space for him in our backline to debut right now if he could.

Cade Cust has reportedly put pen to paper and signed a two year deal with Manly.

wonder if that would rule out Foran going back to Manly?

Most likely, they have Cust, Walker and young Schuster who can all play 5/8 at manly. Foran will stay at the dogs I reckon but I’m just guessing

Hope we're exploring him as an option.

You don't become the richest man in Australia by giving away money to bottomless pits

NRL clubs are bottomless money pits
