I saw this today aswell. Didn't read the article. But when the media started stating Angus is up for negotiation start of November I just had a feeling roosters would be up there.
Roosters are the only team that can bolster a line up with rep players without questions being asked. And can pick up ferguson on peanuts because he was coming back to league, the. Reportedly take a pay cut to stay there
Fair enough they might fudge the figures to the nrl. But is the nrl so dumb to think they have the nsw captain, fullback, halfback, Queensland frontrower, prop (probably forgot a few more) they have jwh, looking at getting Angus. Have Mitchell, furguson, keary (doubt any on minimum wage even though the media implied it). And then you look at teams like raiders who have maybe 1 rep player or teams like Newcastle with none and you think how can 1 team be stacked with stars and another have none....
That's what the nrl should investigate. Not take things at face value like oh here is the contract. Investigate why players are taking pay cuts to be there.
