The NRL told clubs to work based on a Salary Cap of $9.3m. Most clubs did, some clubs thought the cap would end up closer to $10m and spent accordingly.

Has anyone seen my tin foil hat?

True, but lets the knobs playing like crap off the hook.

It was a professional foul. Stop blaming the refs for the failings of the football team.

I'd be happy if Lichaa played one game out of his skin. No coincidence Souths went on a winning streak when they dropped McInnes and gave the job to Cook.

Lol so they have two hookers that shit on Lichaa

No prizes for guessing who the refs wanted to win tonight. Geez they tried their best to get Parra home.

This is some weird logic. Firstly their bullshit try was 4 points. Secondly they got all the decisions correct on the no tries. Thirdly, are you counting fairly disallowed tries as some sort of bonus?

Pot calling the kettle black thread if ever I've seen one.

I wonder why anyone was looking at his contract so long after it'd been signed off. Was someone looking for a way out or did someone get a tip off? I'm at a loss how they even found out about it.

150K is ridiculous. Fringe first graders make that. McQueen has played SOO. $300K is your average players wage these days. Mbye is getting 600K+ FFS. I'd rather McQueen for $300K than T-Rex for 600K.

Roberts has not done anything to command 500-600K. I certainly wouldn't pay that much for him. $300-350K sounds about right for him. If they shed either McQueen or Grant they could easily afford him.

Surely not. Didn't they originally sack him?

It's all guessing though, nobody knows what the players are being paid, also nobody really knows what 3PA's they have. Every year it's the same old argument that this team and that team are cheating the cap. I'd say most teams are pretty competitive and the fact that nobody can win 3-4...

They've lost Walker, Isaac Luke, Glenn Stewart and now talks of McQueen. If they are over the cap after losing all those, then I'd love to see the Roosters, Nth QLD, Bulldogs, Brisbane and Manly books. Everyone is rorting the cap IMO.

When does the footy start?

I'm sure it keeps them up at night.

Does it really matter who's conscience it's on? I bet it doesn't matter to the victims. It's ok to feel sorry for the innocent victims without needing to have someone to pin the blame on. Personally I don't care who's fault it is, it just sucks that someone is paying the price for a war they...

You obviously missed the entire point of my little dig there and went on a rant about Christianity yet again, when it had nothing to do with Christianity. You don't know me from a bar a soap so don't presume what I know and don't know about Christianity. You made a point that Muslims should...

Actually, Insurance companies seem to put a tax based on where you live. Bastards want an extra $100 because of my post code. Surely if people were going to steal cars they'd be pinching them from rich areas, not my shitty car :D

Yes, just don't wear a vest showing you're a Muslim trying to participate in Volunteer work. That's just showing off. /me takes tongue out of cheek :D

Cut it out guys, all you're going to do is start a fight, which is the intention of ISIS all along. You're playing into their hands, whilst condemning them at the same time.

Obama facing enormous opposition in accepting refugees. Maybe make special exception for proven Christians. A tweet from Rupert Murdoch, one of the most powerful influences in the media. Preaching inclusion no doubt.

Well said Mr I. I concur with everything you've said. In fairness, many have uttered those words from the Islamic community already. If any news outlet is interested in putting me in front of a camera, send me a PM.

Damn now I want to know which verse it is. Where did they mention it?

The Red Cross was used as an example of an Organisation, not their religious roots. So what you're saying is because they are Muslim they can not be identified as Australians?

This thread is going off topic quickly and is one of the reasons I don't like discussing religion as it tends to get personal real quick. Condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims in Paris. Nothing discussed here will heal the pain they are feeling.

I did not take offence to anything you said. In your sincere opinion, do you think the backlash was because people were genuinely concerned it would create social division? If let's say the Red Cross Organisation showed up wearing Red Cross T-Shirts, would people have had the same reaction?

So your main concern is they are rubbishing the Islamic religion? Of course it does not sit well with me. I can condemn their actions and try to educate others that they don't represent the faith. I can raise my kids better than their parents have. Beyond that I'll let God deal with the bastards.

Hamas is Sunni I believe. So now we should only force the Sunni Muslims to condemn them, for fear of bias I take it. One would have thought regardless whether volunteers wore a vest displaying they were Muslim, you'd simply appreciate the help. Don't try and sugar coat it. You're true colours...

I can label myself a prophet, doesn't make me one. They are sick and twisted human beings, regardless of what they identify themselves as. You can label them Muslims if you like, you still can't judge other Muslims for their transgressions.

They don't stick microphones in front of sane people, that's why. Sane people don't get you a headline. It's the same reason they always run to Pauline Hanson for comment. Why is it everyone is raving on about what the so called Grand Mufti said but chooses to ignore the other 99.9% of Muslim...

So they've known all along where the ISIS munitions compound is?

Sorry but that is not true. Can you provide your source?

We can sit here and blame every religion known to man. I prefer to judge every person based on their actions, not their beliefs. If your belief led you to commit those actions, then you're still responsible for carrying them out.

Lol Saudi Arabia. They had a summit in Australia not long ago. Their hotel rooms were filled with Scotch and Whisky and high class escorts. Hardly the moral compass for Islam.

Sharia Law does not exist. Muslims living in non-Muslim countries have to comply with laws and regulations of the country they have been entrusted though valid visas to enter. At the same time, they have to avoid whatever contradicts Islamic teachings. In case they are obliged by law to uphold...

Who cares? The Bible Claims Jesus is the Son of God, against the beliefs of most religions. The point being Islam does not teach people to go off killing people because they have differing beliefs. Most of the lines quoted from the Quran to backup claims of violence are taken straight from...

That's very easy to say, much harder in practice. The Extremists don't congregate with your typical Muslim. I've been attending a Mosque since I was 8 years old, some 25 years now. I have never witnessed a lecture which incited hatred and I dare say the Extremists would dare not openly preach...

I didn't see your comments, but frustration is setting in from all sides. ISIS wants the world to turn against Muslims. They want your ordinary sane Muslim to be targeted in their own country. They want an US vs THEM mentality instilled in everyone. Then and only then will they have the Holy...

No. A sentence can be interpreted any way that you like. They simply interpret it in a way that suits their agenda. There are 1.7 billion Muslims. Please give me a breakdown of how many interpret the Quran the way ISIS does. If they followed it to the word, they would not have killed innocent...

Exactly what they're doing. They are recruiting no-hopers by plucking lines out of the book and filling them with hate and promising them they will have a purpose as opposed to their current mundane existence. This tactic is not a new invention, its most likely employed to get young soldiers...

Wolfmother, Martyrdom in the Quran refers to the period in which the Muslim people were being prosecuted for their beliefs, and directly references the war at that time. Yes these nutjobs have gone off on a tangent to try and relate those passages to the current climate. It's very important to...

I play for a team made up of 100% Lebs [emoji14] We could use an extra batsmen hehe

Hearing that Sutton and Dylan Walker are gooooone too. Should be like taking candy from a baby ;)

Interesting they all hail from the same place, they learn alot more than wrestling techniques in Melbourne ;)

No of course not, all the players that got off weren't Bulldogs players. It's the National Anyone but Bulldogs league remember?

Everyone got off so you conspiracy theorists can go back to making your tin foil hats.

www.Unblock.us, free 7 day trial

Well Des certainly doesn't seem to want to play him that's for sure. Maybe he will get a go sitting on the bench for 80 minutes soon. Funny way for Des to prepare for the new interchange rules.

This thread is a little hypocritical, Loko anyone?

The Elliot incident was 6 sets of six before the try that made it 28-26. It was 14 minutes before the try to Jennings that put them ahead.

I'm not missing any point. We bitch and moan every week. The existence of this thread before the game was even finished is testament to that. I'm pretty sure a Roosters fan could find 4-5 bullshit penalties against them as well as they watch the game looking for any hint of bad luck against them...

This thread should be dead already. If you're going to blame one incorrect call for that loss then you may as well forfeit now. Roosters managed to pile on 38 points while losing the penalty count 7-2. If the penalty count was reversed this thread would have 100 pages by now. Just curious...

We're building into our end of year trip nicely. Might have to reschedule flights to bring the bookings forward though.

Are you serious? The Roosters got 2 penalties in total, where were the momentum killing penalties? We won the penalty count 7-2! Stop making excuses for them, it is bordering on pathetic. Up 28-22, Roosters turned up the heat and we crumbled.

What was the final penalty count?

Roosters playing at 100 miles per hour, we look like we've taken Valium before the game.

Why? Is there a Ref on this planet that the conspiracy theorists actually like?

The real Dogs Of War will be on tonight. The soft cock Roosters will feel pain tonight.

Does anyone know why Tolman was a late scratching? Did he get an Injury last week?

It doesn't matter in the context of them giving a penalty. Week in and week out they penalise guys who make contact with the top of the ball and then the arm collects the head. I'd say 99% of high tackles come off the top of the shoulder first.

Doesn't matter where first contact is made. They penalise people week in and week out for tackles where the first contact is around the ball but then slides high. He milked it hard. Reynolds just needed to drive in with his shoulder like a regular tackle, not sure why he was jumping up at him

If you listen to Talkin Sport then you'll know how biased Graham Hughes us towards the Doggies. He loves them, believe me. He gets very defensive when a caller has anything to say about them. However he did think it was unacceptable regarding Graham, like I said I was surprised it came from him.

Well they were discussing the Fifita brothers and he said he was appalled at how Graham was carrying on with the refs and how the refs should simply sin bin players that approach them that way. Tunksy said Gallen and Reynolds also charge at the refs and get in their faces too.

Graham Hughes also ripped into him today which I found quite strange as he's a diehard Doggies fan.

That may be the case, it shits me though that Des constantly blames the refs. To me that breeds a lack of accountability in the players minds.

I'd be laughing at the 55% completion rate and impotent attack.

Sutton didn't give the penalty against Reynolds, the video ref did. The Roosters hardly ever win a penalty count, yet they manage to win a fair few games. They won a premiership and were the most penalised team in the comp. Losers always find someone else to blame. It's time the team and Des...

The money could be collected quite easily. Make each player who drops the ball pay $10.

Ordinary first half but the Sharks have got nothing in attack thankfully. A couple of tries in the second half will be enough.

His reply was spot on. The thread is quite funny, it's going on and on about how Souths are sooks yet we are still harping on about a game that was over 4 months ago. The truth is and always was that it was a penalty, no arguments from anyone who knows the rules of the game. Regardless of...

You just ruined it, now what can we complain about? Ahh the good old refs and NRL are still out to get us.

Melbourne is more likely to finish in the Top 4 than Souths. They have an easy run home whereas Souths finish with games against the Broncos, Cowboys, Dogs, Roosters.

Souths are the 3rd most penalised side in the comp. Some refs haven't got the memo it seems that they should win every game.

"Sudden Surge"? A snail would have looked like travelling at the speed of light against our mob last night. Stop making excuses, you sound like Des.

Can probably buy in areas like Padstow or Revesby for the same amount.

Interesting, no Doggies players.

Please, 41 tackles in the oppositions 20 compared to 11 for the Dragons. I know who should have scored 5 tries to 1.

Maybe every player should front the media too and explain why they knocked on or gave a penalty away or threw a forward pass.

Lucky the Panfers switched off or it could have been much worse. Move on to next week, a step down in class.

I find it hypocritical that Australians are always bleating on about immigrants assimilating and respecting the laws of their country but have the audacity to question another country's laws.

Ecigs got me off the Ciggies, Champix was a punish!

Yeah Souths came to win. The nerve of that mob.

I've never seen Megan Fox's box either but I'll bet she has one.

All teams have refs attend their training.

Do you even know how the draft works? Not all juniors are up for grabs.

Ennis is a great buy for the Sharks. I think they will do well this year if they can keep healthy.

Sharks haven't won one in 47 years the poor buggers. Is that the longest drought?

Dogluva, were you as Passionate about this when Graham played on earlier in the year when concussed? Sounds like you're chewing down on some sour grapes.

Pretty sure he copped a feel. I don't think he killed her though.

See if Bunnings sell some thick skin. Apply it liberally.

Didn't they play "Who let the Dogs Out"?

Get SBW a skirt. Milked it hard.

They would have if we had 10 first graders out, were down 18-0 at half time and had nothing to play for.

Certain try? It was a blatant obstruction. He ran around his own player. Manly got 7 straight penalties at one stage but the garden gnome will still blow up.

Whatever helps you sleep better at night I guess. All I know is the winner gets 2 competition points.

Why would the NRL care if you stream it, Channel 9 pays them regardless.
