An astute Rugby League brain mate of mine told me that the dogs recipe for success is to buy up big and sort the cap out later.
Tim will know all about accountability when the season starts - just like all those before him whose intentions were to improve the standing of this club. Mediocre players can achieve success at strong clubs - so while it's easy to write them off at our club and let them go, it doesn't make it any easier to attract the players we want to replace them.
So the NRL is only first grade, there ya go, I thought they controlled all rugby league in Australia. If I am wrong, im wrong, oh well been wrong before.
The NRL runs the premier competition in Australia in both male and female, the ARLC oversee the game in Australia and lower grade competitions are run by the relevant state bodies.
The whole situation of staying within the cap with recruitment just dumbfounds me. I recall a fe years ago we were looking to recruitment someone (May of been Latrell M) and our club said we have to be careful as we had to show that the offered contract sits within the cap and we cant try to recruit someone else with that allocated money - even if had not been accepted. Yet other clubs seem to recruit many, yet cant register the contracts due to contract fund totals being over limit, yet the recruitment stands, is not nullified by the NRL as over the limit, they the club in question gets time later to sort out the salary cap mess wiht no penalty- it stinks
More interested in brand Kapow these days…
Mate questions who runs the rugby league world cup ? And the Australian team the NRL ?
No player is named as whinging. It's the writers assumption that they would be angry.
The World Cup is run by the International Rugby League, the Australian team is the responsibility of the ARLC. PVL is actually a selector for the Aussie team in role of ARLC chairman.
Mate I'm certain that Tim already knows what it is from what I gather hasn't he spent the best part of 30 years swimming in the sea of accountability and who's to say at this stage players are and maybe being kept in the dark at where their future's might lie that's why they have manages I assume. Only my opinion but I feel that Sheens has had his eye casted over the playing group now for 12 months and learning about the abilities and character within all players now leading to the process he's embarked on now, only time will tell and perhaps a bit of tough love might be the magic fairy dust that brings out the best in our bigger names
Yep Jedi, Seriously any one who believes any of the crap that Rothfeild, Hooper or 360 drop out their rectum deserves the contemptuous names that comes from believing fools. Look at their past record of talking crap & if you want to add your name to it by posting it, dont complain when every one thinks you are an idiot.
Playing the devil's advocate here, there has been on occasions where Rothfield has reported things and it eventuates. Worst best kept secrets as they say.
Tough love might work in teams that have competition for positions and quality leaders who set the standards. At this point we still don't know who plays where in the spine other than Api K.
100% as I said only time will tell but at least being proactive in the player market is a better plan than being reactive after no player recruitment
He was the first to break the rumour that Staines was signing was he not.What , his mothers birthday , Cobs?
Yeah, something doesn’t make sense. Why don’t clubs just make a play for players like Kikau whose contracts still haven’t been registered. Offer more for them and a firm contract and poach them from under the Dog’s nose. Stop the bulldogs and Gould with their sneaky strategy of overreaching on their cap and trying to secure players then trying to move other squad players on / retiring them early to fit their new recruits in.
I honestly expected and hoped Seyfarth would kick on but it doesn’t look likely at all.
