He may have asked for that? Bears and Hunters coming into the comp will get players like him bigger, longer contracts.

I doubt it. Seems like a club decision.

Reed Mahoney

Toby Sexton

That'll be the 2.

Mahoney to Cowboys I'd get. But Sexton to...Titans? Maybe freed up by letting David Fifita go.

Don’t see what need Cows would have for Mahoney with Robson there till the end of the year.

could it be us ? bud and someone else ?

1 year is pretty weak and shows where they rate him in the scheme of things.

I was thinking the same thing...

why? are not past the years of giving out long term contracts based on potential

if they didn’t rate him they just wouldn’t of extended him really

he worked for the extension and deserved it, I don’t see the problem with it

 

[hsvjones]

I hope the other 2 spots are not upgrading existing players when that can be done later in year.

We need to get an external player or 2 for this year IMO.

Two years is pretty standard. One indicates the club doesn’t seem to have much faith.

Talk about salary rorts, have a listen to Adel Hage on Sunday pod talk about NRLW and how the “strong” clubs get snd keep NRLW players.

The players union are all in on it, too.

If the women are doing it with NRL and union blessing guaranteed the mens game is worse.

From the press release for the Mason re-signing, which is similar to the KPP announcement. The club has obviously placed an emphasis on family etc.

“He is a great kid from a great family, and we look forward to seeing him develop further as a footballer into 2026.”

Cobbo's form at Broncos will impact present and future​

I'm unsure if Sexton would wanna go back to the Titans after they flicked him in favour of Tanah Boyd

Sexton reminds me of Chad Townshend.

Sexton reminds me of Chad Townshend.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I thought Townshend was very average at the Sharks and was made to look better than he was by the good players around him.

I don't know the exact penalty count for Game 1 ....but it had to have been close to 10 .....far more than most SOO games

No idea I didn't watch it, but maybe one day the ref's will understand blowing penalties for marginal things only ruins the game.

Unless they are trying to manipulate it ?
But of course that would never happen.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

No doubt. I agree. But they don’t rely on being fed information from clubs, players and player managers for their day to day job like Chammas, Read, etc do. If a day in day out rugby league journo exposed a salary cap breach I reckon they would be ostracised for spoiling the rort that everyone is in on.

Agreed.

What irks me is the discretion that allows a ref! They can choose when to penalise and to let go. Just penalise according to the rules! The players and coaches will adjust very quickly. Players make errors when under pressure which is normally the result of good play from the opposition.

100% We have seen it all year, the ebb and flow of the games it's all about momentum and the ref's have total control of it through the way they interpret the rules and how they apply them. Iv seen some allow 6 repeat sets on the try line and we had Luai sent after 3. The refereeing is a tough gig but atm they have way to much influence over how a game pans out. Not in terms of giving away penalties but by completely stopping any momentum a team might build.
