What possible injuries could they have that have kept them out of commission for potentially 6 months?
Deadset outrageous if they aren't available round 1?

Its gus fault he did it @Polly Power

9's is a nothing competition. Sutton looked like he could do a job for us when he was at Raider (also surrounded by Tapine, Horse and Papalii) but even then he was signed on too much money (reportedly) and he hasn't even been able to do a job (average middle level) for us. It's been a Napa level signing so far for us.

Again putting it in perspective without Marley’s spin. I never said I rate Sutton. Said he showed something. At stages of his career rfm showed something.

As it stands neither give me much hope and I’d love to see the back of. Though at some stage they both showed something and are currently contracted to us. Hopefully they can show something.

End of convo.

Probs Lippo first? He played well in cup last year. Still would rather they dominate cup this year and come in next when hopefully they will have more help.

Patolo is probably still suffering from his knee issue, won't say anything more than that for now.

Nope my source is good. Luai's comments back up what I was originally told and posted while the rest was me trying to meme it into existence. I clearly said multiple times I never went back for a confirmation later in the saga.

 

[Noeasyday]

Is it true Patolo did a hammy blowing out candles on his birthday cake ?

His birthday is in July, must have been going all out for the candles to still be in recovery now.

Given that there's plans to keep introducing more teams, junior production seems like it's going to become an even bigger area that teams need to be good at to maintain success.

In all honesty I think the only way to maintain a strong balanced comp is to encourage teams to invest more. If you allowed teams to have a financial incentive to ensure they're scouting and producing the best quality possible.

I think it'd entice most teams to invest heavily in junior production if the NRL allowed a percentage of player payment to be excluded for every season spent contracted as a junior.

If someone had been with the club since their schoolboy days, you could get maybe 2% of their pay excluded for each year up to a maximum of 10%. So if you have a gun half that's been plugging away getting better since school, they debut and kill it and somehow get an origin call up in their first season. The Rabbitohs come chasing with a million dollar offer. So we can match it with 10% outside the cap (900k on the books 100k legally excluded). But assuming the kid was worth it we might opt to do a mill on the books and add the excluded part on top to rule out the possibility of losing the next JT. If you had 10 or more good players with 10% exclusions (say they average out at $500,000/player). It adds up to $500,000 you can throw at a player in a position you need.

With that kind of incentive, it'd mean every team would have to either improve their production line or risk being left behind.

100%, totally agree

Back pedalling…. HARD!

Maybe not, but you were still dissing anyone that said he wasn’t coming to the Dogs. It was @Isaac level stuff..

You never went back for a confirmation but kept pushing that you were in the know and that he was coming. Come on champ. You’re telling someone else they’re back peddling. You’ve just ripped the handbrake out of the car and thumped it in reverse
