New jersey?

Are they staring down a hole saying somethings coming? Our media team smashes it out again!

him and edgar were in line to take over from edwards

I think Edgar is a year older than Attard. The Panthers also lost a very good junior fullback to the Eels.

If I’d been earning anywhere near what those blokes have been earning for the last decade, I’d be socking enough away to take a year off, no sweat!

Mate of mine worked on highways for years on mid-north-coast. He met a lot of guys on very good money with absolutely nothing to show for it n others that had paid several houses off.
The money some guys are in sport and how they end up with little to show for it you wonder who is advising them.

Attard's highlights are mainly on the wing - and he looks a project player at best!

Doesn't exactly scorch the earth pace wise - and for a lanky kid I have concerns whether he'll maintain his current speed when his body matures.

They would be on 2 million each a season playing rugby in this break away competition no way they are losing money

Signing bonus to be one of the first players to sign on to this bogus shit would be astronomical!

It wasn't the inflation in Superleague or ARL annual contracts that made Ian Roberts - Jarrod McCracken etc set for life during the SL-ARL war...

It was the massive signing bonuses to those who played their cards well!

How much do you think a proper stack costs for the amount of traffic this site gets?
1400$ a month inc cloudflare for an engine sever that would get hardly as much traffic as this.

Bugger all.

Now answer the other questions.

So was Daine Laurie at one stage...

But none of these blokes have managed to supplant him or stand out at rival clubs - even when he goes in to Edwards Scissorhands mode.

Iongi has been the lone exception.

I don't think Penrith's fullback production line is fully functioning - despite their coach being a former (pedestrian journeyman) fullback/centre...

Ivan played his best footy as a defensively reliable but unspectacular centre.

The Storm are ruthless, they don’t care where the player comes from they will do all within their power to sign who they believe are the best players available, particularly the match winners within their spine and dominant forwards to lay the platform.

Big Tino on the way.

You say that, but rarely do they make marquee signings. They aren’t the Roosters.

So you know what Richo and Benji are doing with the last 2 roster spots? Genius

Of course I don't and neither does anyone. Let's look at it logically.

We have not already recruited an experienced 13.

If we take Richo at his word, and the way he approached recruiting last off season, we will be waiting to see what drops from the tree.

It is possible that an experienced FG 13 drops from the tree; but if an experienced 13 was seen as a high priority it would not be left to chance.

So I think you can say, with a fair bit of certainty, that Benji and Richo have an in house plan for that position - that may be trumped by an opportunity recruitment.

I've managed forums this size. Hosting was like $30/month.

As long as you stay away from 90% of it.

Went over took a few young fighters for youth games, many years ago unless its changed I think your being very generous.

 

[Jolls]

Id be surprised if he sees firsts at all next year...itd be off a negative scenario if we do imo

I agree, if we are manufacturing a 13 he will be doing the development in Reggies.

More transparent than Roosters..but maths make sense..NAS plus Papy is about $1.6 MILL....Tino just over a mill
I can work with that

Papi taking a “career break” checkmates PVL and his tough guy talk about giving out 10 year bans. He’s now a free man. Didn’t break any contract, and if he by some chance gets an offer from 360? Why the hell not? He might not be the last player we hear stating they need a “break”.

He looks to have manoeuvred that well, better than a Benji sidestep.
