Because their only in the game for a short time and there career could finish at the next game, have to look after their familyWhy shouldn't players be allowed to go where they want even if it's less than offered elsewhere?
Pay for him while he's in jailIm just saying if we sign amone we will sign him for too much money and he will go bust due to underdevelopment and too much expectation for performance.
Isn't he back out and freely paying.Pay for him while he's in jail
You’d have to think the Broncs would be his most likely landing spot if he leaves and given his family’s criticism of the Roosters attacking structure they may be trying to make that a realitySam Walker dropped after back to back losses.
WT persisting with Brooks after 16 straight losses.
There’s the difference.
True. But they also have suitable 1st graders to replace him. We have 2 reserve graders to pick from.Sam Walker dropped after back to back losses.

I'd just question how Souths can afford to have Walker, Mitchell, Murray, Cook, Graham, Johnson, Burgess, Arrow and Koloamatangi - and then add a superstar like Wighton.
Seems a few clubs have salary sombreros.
some actual signing news!STAR'S 'SECOND COMING' AT TIGERS
Former Junior Kiwis captain Manaia Cherrington has rejoined the Wests Tigers - effective immediately.
A talented hooker who played 16 games for the club in 2015-16, Cherrington has spent the past couple of seasons at Ipswich in the Queensland Cup.
The 28-year-old has moved back to Sydney for personal reasons and will add depth to the Tigers in the hooking spot behind Api Koroisau and Jake Simpkin.
He will start his second coming at the Tigers in the NSW Cup but is expected to put pressure on Simpkin for the back-up hooking role as the season unfolds.
Yeah 100 percent, like I said in an earlier post when it was originally designed it was done so with a draft system in place as a way to balance the talent out, but after Terry Hill challenged the draft on a restraint of trade all we have to rely on now is the salary cap.No. The cap is meant to help clubs protect themselves... So they say
Here is idea I was thinking about...
Should be like the NFL a bit and if a player wants to leave the current club they go to the lowest ranking team that wants him or the new club pays what the current club wants to pay him as a min..
Alot to work out in this but just an idea to help lower teams like the salary cap should be doing but its not.
I dunno Finzo Taylor just reeks too much of another Brooks for my liking. I do think this team needs an experienced half rather than another unproven prospect, but I think Hunt would be a better option. He’s had his ups and downs, but when he’s on fire he is very very good and better than Taylor has ever been.Just a thought and suggestion we should throw ash Taylor and reserve grade contract the bloke has plenty of talent
he could just never get it all together Maby spending a year away from footy has brought a desire to succeed back to him
I know he was medically retired but I think warriors and him were both looking for a way out of the contract
If it is permitted by the NRL administration then it’s not rorting really.I dont understand how Souths escape the salary cap 'rorting' scruitany. To me they are far more suss then Easts. It appears players magically want to play there for less after a visit to Rustys farm, funny how that happens.
Don't laff .. !! He might be used as a stand in 5/8 for a while .. till we can find a 5/8 or half who's prepared to come to the Tigers .. !!Any truth Benji Marshall is on the comeback trail ?
If the NRL put a value on one player (Wighton) then that would leave the Rorters with about 6 players.Not really, the N.R.L could very easily say you've been offered 1 mil by Canberra so that's your market value, so for South's to sign you that's what it'll take.
True but at least he got to play in a finals series.The only redeeming thing about him leaving Wests was it completely torpedoed his rep career. Still got reasonable money for years at Cronulla after being moved on by the Dogs but if he had any aspirations to continue on with his International and SOO career it basically blew up after he left us.
Oh yeah don’t get me wrong I’d take hunt over Taylor any day I was just trying to come up with some out of the box thinking to solve our halfs issuesI dunno Finzo Taylor just reeks too much of another Brooks for my liking.

You'd play there for nothing, just the satisfaction of being with quality people like Cody Walker and good old Trell would be payment enough.The NRL will not go near it as it is a player choice , yes $ 700/750 is unders but he only has to say I don’t want to play for raiders I want to play with Trell , case closed
