Again you are comparing apples to rocks. The NRL allowed the scabs to medically retire Burgess on dubious grounds. But that has not disadvantaged your club with regards to Foran as he was injured in a rep game and the NRL are applying the rules AND reimbursing your club the maximum amount possible under the rule.



Are you saying that if the circumstances appeared where your club could medically retire Foran on dubious grounds that they wouldn't take advantage of that?
Dubious?

He's had 3 serious injuries since signing with us, that's 3 in 2 seasons. He is not medically fit to play in the NRL anymore. Sad yes, but there is nothing dubious about it.

Yes but the rule states to medically retire a player it can't be the reoccurrence of a preexisting injury, that's why Burgess's retirement based on his shoulder injury was dubious. The scabs convinced the NRL his latest shoulder injury had nothing to do with the previous two shoulder reconstructions and that the missing bone was a bacteria infection. I will admit this premise was backed up by medical reports from doctors, but medical reports can be brought from the right doctor for the right price.

So I'll ask you again, if your club could medically retire Foran using the same dubious tactics that the scabs did, would you support it?

It won't happen, my club can't. I can't support something that won't happen ;)

That's a weak argument. You can justify just about anything on the premise of some supposed future event.
Depends on the likelihood of that event occurring. In the context of this discussion I think it's fairly reasonable that the likelihood of clubs following what other clubs do by taking advantage of loopholes in rules is high.

They’ll bring in a special 1 million dollar compensation figure for any player that did an ACL yesterday

Unfortunately the likelihood that Toddy and his grotty mates at NRL HQ will allow also-ran clubs to cash in on the same shitty rorts that the "golden child" clubs get is virtually non-existent. The same rules don't apply evenly to every club in this comp, we have seen enough evidence of that to last a fucken lifetime.

So who is “your club” since it seems obvious you don’t support the Dogs? I’m guessing it’s the mighty rorters right?
Yep. He hates us with a passion.

Absolute scumbag! It’s bad enough us Dogs fans have different views and sometimes cant see eye to eye and that leads to a few heated arguments here and there but that just comes from being a passionate Dogs supporter! As for the likes of this piece of shit his life must be so boring and worthless that he has to come here and stir the pot amongst us! Desperate little lowlife troll imo.

Of course the scabs rorted the rule as they convinced the NRL Sam's bung shoulder was the result of some infection and not the two reconstructions it had done to it. And before you ask, yes, that rule will be rorted by every single club in the comp including yours.



I agree if a player is injured during a rep game, regardless of the duration of the injury, the club should have that amount taken off their cap. Do you think that rule won't be rorted as well?
I think you’ll find if Tedesco is injured an a rep game the rule will be updated and the Roosters will get full salary relief
