Well the nrl has just lost A life long supporter of the game
We have been trying to get back up off the ground for 7 years and just as we are getting up they sink the Steel cap boots in
Well done NRL and Greenberg
I’ll come back when the NRL is serious about a fair and even competition
At 50 years of age I have had enough of their crap
Time to find another interest
See ya people

Look
It’s ok that the Roosters pay every player significantly less then what other clubs would pay them
Because what the Roosters pay them happens to be exactly what the NRL thinks they are worth
It doesnt matter if another club offers more
What roosters dont put on the books can be made up of 3rd party payments or what’s in the brown paper bag
That way everything is fair and above board
Now Tigers you have been very Naughty
You paid Robbie Farah $700000 out of you cap and allowed him to join souths
You then sign him back for $250000 when he is almost past his used by date and tell him when he is retired that you would like him to come and work in the club because he is a life long member
Now that is just not on because you are the tigers not the Roosters
Not the Broncos
And certainly not the Storm
Now on your way naughty tigers
Go back and stand in the corner
We have a Competition of heavy weights to run
I said Buzz off

(The NRL has no problems with clubs offering ambassadorial roles to star players for life after football but would monitor the deals to ensure they were not paid less during the final years of their playing career or paid excessively for their new jobs in retirement)

I wonder if the NRL uses this as a guide when teams like the Roosters sign players like Tedesco for less than what he is on in the open market
Surely we offered more to Teddy than what the Roosters ended up paying for him on the books
So why does Tedescos real value not count against the Roosters cap
Do they get penalized
NO
Sounds like double standards if they think we received an advantage to get Farah because they think we paid less than what he is worth

I want to know how the NRL knows what Farah is worth

Is the board of the NRL open to having there own personal bank accounts looked at independently
Are they receiving payments to look the other way
Brown paper bags perhaps

If I reacall this correctly
What every happened to the Panthers with the James Maloney comment about the Club still trying to get the 3rd party agreement sorted
NOTHING

So Robbie gets offered $250000 to come back and play with the Tigers
That is all we believe you are worth in today’s market
Robbie cant get a better offer so he decides to re sign with the tigers for $250000
Did any other club offer more
And even if they did it means nothing
Roosters sign all their players for unders

Now once your career finishes Robbie we would like you in an ambassador roll for the club
Would you be interested
Yeh sure that would be great

Was there mention of Gallen working for the sharks after he retires
What about Langer at the Broncos
How far do you want to go back
It’s an absolute joke

If the nrl ping us for this I will never attend another game
I will Just watch on TV or listen to on the ABC until they get serious with the obvious serial offenders instead of screwing the less competitive clubs

I’d get ready for not attending games then, offering post career jobs has been included in the cap for a long time.

Yep
Darren Lockyer on the Board of directors for the Broncos
Melbourne has
Ryan Hinchcliffe - Development Coach
Billy Slater - Specialist Coach
Robbie Kearns - Business Development Manager
Ryan Hoffman - Football Administration Coordinator
Just to name a few
But these are all above board so nothing will come of it

So Robbie gets offered $250000 to come back and play with the Tigers
That is all we believe you are worth in today’s market

I believe the balmain tigers owed the NRL money and they defaulted on the payments
May have something to do with it

Harry Triguboff has just bought the balmain tigers and taken the majority share in the wests tigers franchise
Intends to invest $millions in player recruiting as 3rd party payments

Dont know about Zane but apparently we dodged a bullet with Walker
We had made inquiries about getting him over but talks have stopped

#1

That was close

The Wests Tigers have dodged a bullet having made a secret play for troubled Manly centre Dylan Walker.

Tigers coach Michael Maguire has a strong relationship with Walker from their days at Souths together, even though he was forced to show him the door after the prescription drugs episode.

And in a belief that the Tigers backline requires bolstering, Maguire had sounded out Walker prior to him being charged by police over a domestic violence incident.

The charge has all but killed any hope of the Tigers on-going interest

Nrl leaks

Must like being shafted by Gus
