Game is on 9now.com.au catchup already

Roosters - allowed to play Matt Ikuvalu despite being outside Top 30.
Manly - allowed to play Moses Suli despite being outside Top 30.
Storm - allowed to play Justin Olam outside their Top 30.

Lewis looked promising. Defense a highlight. Put through a good grubber for a try. Hope he can get a run in top grade soon.

Legit question:

Is there cause for some kind of restraint of trade? A bullshit rule is denying an employee to potentially make monetary gain and preventing them for progressing on their career??

It’s fucking stupid
You could say that about the whole cap sooner or later someone will take it to court and they will win.

So why can't we?
Need to contact media and let them find out why eg 2GB Talkin Sport etc.The NRL wont give Joe Blow public the answers but media think they have a story they will run with it.

For whatever reason they play lewis at centre in reserves its ridiculous he should always be in the halves and its a great opportunity for us to blood him
We can't blood him this year.

Absolutely. That a great call.

It would be but since it's collectively bargained with and signed off by the RLPA, then they'd have no argument I'm pretty sure.

In saying that, for decades now the RLPA has been a complete doormat for the NRL which has allowed the league to do whatever they want while making few changes that benefit the players.

I think @Deathspell went into this a while back (regarding potential restriction of trade), and from memory the issue was that the NRL made up their own rules to which everyone agreed with, and that included the cap and how it works.

Could be wrong though..

The kid shows more promise then Frawley yet can't make our 30, Does Pay know what he's doing??
Pay is obviously going off what people like Penna and Georgalis were telling him as he would have had minimal knowledge of the players. The existing staff would have had to de-brief him. Frawley at the time was currently an NRL half and was always going to be in the top 30.

Lewis at the beginning was always going to be behind Foran, Frawley, Cleeland and JMK considering he debuted last yr. I think it was only me and a few on here that really wanted to see him in 1st grade.
