Thats actually funny

Ok but it’s still a dangerous tackle regardless of intent.

That could have literally been a send off. Idk what your arguing.

Nah that was dangerous. You still have a duty of care towards your opposition.

How is that not an obstruction?

Agreed. This much suffered from the referee interfering every other set

Let this match be a lesson for everyone who expects Burton to change our fortunes himself. Munster without having Hughes there to manage the team is not nearly as effective. We will suck next year too. Two pieces of a spine are not enough if the other two sucks. Mahoney will suffer too.

Not when he receives the ball 10m out from the defensive line and we use him like a prop.

this could get ugly quick

We have a losing culture at the moment. If he fixes us for a few years it’s definitely worth it. Kimmorley was only here for two years and nobody considers his signing a failure.

I’m pretty sure they made a mistake there. The game can’t end on a foul. Even if it’s only a scrum. Or maybe I’m confusing that rule with the NFL.

I thought it was a differential penalty aka you can’t kick for goal but who knows the rules change everyday.

Im confused. If it’s accidental offside why is the challenge unsuccessful?

Nah this is untrue. Reynolds signed a three year deal for $2.2m according to multiple media reports. We paid more for TPJ alone. Reynolds is not on a million.

Untrue. We signed TPJ,Naden, Dufty and Vaughan after Brisbane signed Reynolds. We had plenty of money. TPJ covers the Reynolds signing. I’d be happy losing TPJ or Kikau for Reynolds.

Nah that’s just recency bias. DCE and Ben Hunt are still in the top 5. I’d go Cleary, Hughes, DCE, Reynolds, Hunt, Moses, Hynes.

This post hurts.

Surely it would make more sense to just bring back the Bears instead of another team in New Zealand when the current one sucks or PNG who would be perenniel wooden spooners?

Bradman Best is the biggest myth in rugby league.

One day in the future this cheating cnt ref will be exposed for fixing games.

Was such a beast for us. Went from being the number one prop in the game to an overpaid hasbeen in three years.

FMD if Brisbane pay Haas $1 million per year they basically can’t win a Premiership while he’s there. He’s the best prop in the game no doubt, but how many games could he possibly win you by himself.

I have a theory regarding Penrith and the Bulldogs. This is purely me speculating but let’s take a deep dive. Gus Gould and Greg Alexander obviously hate each other. I think Gus will be hellbent on showing Penrith they can’t do it without him. His first signing as our GM was Kikau. The photo...

OH MY GOD WE ARE CURSED

Ben Cummins is being so nice today.

Dufty saving tries. Okunbor catching easy balls. Will we finally get a win?

wtf is wrong with Dufty.

nah he's always salty. Even when we're doing well

Nice try by the young kid.

This x 1000 Salty ****

That is literally the first time I've seen Dufty save a try

BIG BALLS BILLY IS IN BOYS

TPJ is about to have a brain explosion

I'm not celebrating I've been let down before.

Fox showing Okunbor how its done

LMAO Okunbor

Why do we let Burton kick goals when we have Flanagan in the side

If you watched his interview you would know he’s not going anywhere. Kid loves the club.

Surely Storm have more than 200k left for next year. They’ve lost like 8 players.

1. Hazem El Masri 2. Heka Nanai 3. Jamal Idris 4. Tim Winitana 5. Matt Utai 6. Ben Roberts 7. Daniel Holdsworth 8. Jarrad Hickey 9. Corey Hughes 10. Chris Armit 11. Gary Warburton 12. Andrew Ryan (c) 13. Lee Te Maari Interchange: 14. Frank Winterstein 15. Brad Morrin 16. Charlie Leaeno 17. Nick...

I watched the whole segment. Two weeks ago Tigers were the whipping boys. Two weeks ago they were bashing Sheens for not stepping in. Now theyre criticising Gould for stepping in. Now theyre talking about the amazing job the Tigers are doing. How Gould should replicate what Sheens did. Until we...

If Max King stops playing well a year from now, you don't blame people for giving him his deal. At the time they got their deals the majority of people were happy they were resigned. We should be more critical of major signings, not squad players on lower end money.

This is the dumbest things I’ve ever read. No GM is going to “not allow” a coach in the sheds after a game. That would be the most unprofessional thing he could do. Anyone who believes this is gullible AF

We should be 0/7 considering we only won the Cowboys game due to a player being 50cm offside. Our squad has improved and the results don’t change. We need to look in a different direction.

Im sick of watching games and knowing were gonna lose the penalty count.

The irony of this comment being made by someone named Mitchell Moses.

Nicho Hynes is the buy of the season so far.

Lmaoo this is great

Cant wait til theres a thread asking if we should buy Talakai

I think with the right cap number Thompson is really valuable to have. If his number was 600 nobody would want him gone. The rest I agree I wouldn’t retain on first team money. Much better value in the market.

So our salary cap space for next year is around 1.8m for about 5 players if your information is correct. Which puts us in a much better situation.

It’s also worth noting that next year we have Flanagan, Jackson, Thompson and Allen off contract. That is roughly 2.3m worth of cap space we free up across four players. Assuming we have our 6 and 9 sorted in Burton and Mahoney, we could make a big play for another spine player. The highest...

Problem is Max King only signed a one year deal and will probably need to be upgraded. He isn’t currently signed for next year. You need to use some of that 1.35 to do that. People are failing to realise we’ve spent a lot of money on two players for next year. Stimson/RFM/Wakeham money has...

Unfortunately players have different values in the salary cap. Signing players like Kikau and Mahoney is not the same as losing Wakeham and Stimson.

Disclaimer: I am not saying this is 100% accurate. This is the best source I have in the one place Disclaimer Part 2: I read the NRL salary cap rules. My understanding for 2023 is put in this thread. If I'm wrong I apologise. Disclaimer Part 3: I have an avid curiosity with things like...

Sharks have a lot of cap space being freed up this year. They could build a super team.

We don’t have the money for any of Munster, Walsh, Ponga.

Same was said about Damien tbh.

Can we please give Josh Cook a go? That’s all I want this week.

DCE has been on fire last few weeks.

That was one of the worst decisions ive seen from them. Talk about looking to find something wrong with a try.

How has Josh Cook been playing in the reserve grade side? He’s signed for next season too but he’s not being given any minutes in first grade

Burns is our best centre at the moment.

Hughes

Is no-one going to comment on Ja Rule being in the poll?

I don’t think people have forgotten. I think people wanna see him in a better side. Plus we could use his goalkicking.

We need to play him more minutes. Dude is an absolute monster.

Dufty - Has injected pace into our attack. 7/10 JAC Nothing brilliant as of yet but provides leadership 6/10 Naden - Runs had but needs to involve his winger more 5/10 Burns - Really impressed with him and has outplayed Naden so far 7/10 Okunbor - Biggest liability in our side and shouldn’t be...

Guys I found Ray Dibs Kennel account.

I wanted to give you a bargain

Yeah I struggled especially with the hookers. Pm me some suggestions on how to fix it.

Fullbacks $15 Trbojovic $14 Tedesco $13 Papenhuyzen $12 RTS $11 Mitchell $10 Ponga $9 Gutherson $8 Dylan Edwards $7 CNK $6 Will Kennedy $5 Matt Dufty $4 Blake Laurie $3 Aj Brimson $2 Meaney $1 Tesi Niu Five Eighths $15 Munster $14 Keary $13 C Walker $12 Luai $11 Burton $10 Wighton $9 Staggs $8...

Haas is a million dollar player TPG is a 750k player Thompson is a 800k player Hetherington is on under 500k Nobody is arguing those players are better

This is a dumb thread and a shit take. Last week TPG made 12 runs for 70 meters against Souths and Tolman made 11 runs for 77 meters against Newcastle. Why don't we compare apples to apples. Against Manly three weeks ago Tolman ran for 57 meters from 7 runs. TPG and Tolman played two teams out...

Geez we've had a lot of shitxnts come through our club.

Or the more likely option is they know this season is a lost cause and would rather use any capspace they have to frontload a few contracts.

We definitely need a backup prop to be signed next season. I don't think we bring back Dietz next year. I'd assume we don't have much cap room left for next year unless we've used some money to frontload a few contracts.

Just thought I'd make a list based on positions we have filled for next season and where we possibly have holes still to be filled for next season. I've estimated the number of players we will need to cover every position. Some players may be able to cover a few positions. Players like Averillo...

Updated the thread with new signings and comments.

Exactly

The kennel "We need to sign a better half to partner Burton" Also the Kennel "Let's resign the halves we have already" Short answer: Save the money and get someone useful

An upgrade on Meaney tbh

This forum loves making it sound like every player we lose is another Damien Cook or JT. Fact of the matter is Meaney is the exact type of player we should not be spending money on. We are way better off saving his money and going after a player who might actually contribute to winning. If he...

Signing wingers isnt the problem. Our problem is that a couple of the forwards we signed were absolutely terrible. Waddell, Stimson, Britt, Napa were all a waste of money. Elliott resigning looks to be costly as well. Hetherington is overpaid for what he offers and he is a ticking time bomb...

I don't understand the fascination with Averillo at fullback. Averillos best ability is to get outside his man. He is not a good support player nor is he good at setting up other players. He should either play in the centres or come off the bench. Naden is a much bigger threat at fullback.

I hate singling out players but this guy is just shit.

Lmaoo at how dumb and reactionary you lot look rn

The way clubs pay players these days is a little bit complicated. While figures quoted in this thread might be around the ballpark of what the players actually get, the cap hit is what is actually important. I'd be surprised considering we don't have a bit more than we can account for in our...

I'd take Milford at 400k no problem. Him and Burton could be a lethal halves combination.

He should be allowed to play NRL. Its bs the way hes been treated.

Whoever identifies hookers at our club needs to get sued for damages. Isaac Luke - let go before he played a game Api Koriosau - let go before he played a game Damien Cook - told to fk off after 7 games Reed Mahoney - let go before he played a game Meanwhile we've had Corey Hughes, Adam Perry...

Yep you are 100% correct. This was a horrible advertisement for our game on one of the most exciting rounds of the year. This isn't the game I grew up watching and loving.

Only one game finished within 10 points. On top of the farcical sin bins. This was the worst round of Rugby League I've ever watched. The referees have way too much influence on the game.

You just named the Roosters NSW cup squad

I called it in the other thread. This is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody was even in for him.
