So the Eagles and Cowboys basically traded Farrar and Bani for each other? When did that happen?

The Cowboys won out big time. Bani is a much better player and is actually quite good whereas Farrar hasn't impressed at all in his few years in and out of FG. I don't rate him much at all.

We'll wait and see. I've always thought the NRL should have a trade system in place like in US sports.

It would work perfectly with the salary cap. Maybe I'll start a thread and see what people reckon.

Hmmmmmm......

 

[Mitch Connor]

A draft would be interesting.

 

[B-Train]

Yeah but in IMO in footy it's hard because you should reward teams for investing in juniors and promoting their own youngsters rather than giving them to other teams like the Roosters who wouldn't spend a cent on junior development.

I don't think it can work in league unfortunately.

works well in the AFL tbh, they should have a father son rule also if the son wants to play for his fathers team

 

[Mitch Connor]

LOL father son rule wtf Hani lol

 

[Hansta]

LOL father son rule wtf Hani lol

in the AFL they have a rule that no team can touch a player if his dad played for an AFL team previously

ie Gary Ablett played for Geelong, his two sons can't be touched by any other team if Geelong wanted them to play for them.

 

[Mitch Connor]

really?? hahahah i have never heard of that.

what about those who play for multiple clubs?

Yeah but Hani in the AFL teams don't have 4 or more lower grade teams that have youngsters in the age ranges NRL clubs do with Matts, Ball, NYC and NSW Cup.

So NRL clubs nurture these kids (some do anyway) and therefore deserve to be rewarded when developing them, If you have a draft, then what reason would clubs have to invest in and develop younger players when they will just go to another club and get lost in the draft?

It can't work in footy.

 

[Hansta]

really?? hahahah i have never heard of that.

not exacrtly sure. But i think there is a year limit or game limit. Prob the father would have to have played something like min 150 games for the club or x amount of years service.

Father-son rule
Main article: Father-Son Rule
To continue the traditions of association that a family has with a particular club, sons of former players are able to be selected by the same club as their father played with under the Father-Son Rule. The main eligibility requirements is that the sons father must have played 100 games for that club, although there are some variations in place for non-Victorian based clubs. Originally they were selected as pre-draft selections, then the rules were changed to force the clubs to use a third round draft selection to draft the son. Currently there is a bidding system, where any team that wishes to draft a son must allow all other clubs to bid for him, and then match the bid with their next available selection.

so from that i gather u just have to equal the highest bidder it seems

Lol Farrar and Graham are the unsung heroes of the cowboys backline. Both are quality players, Farrar has impressed me more than Bani ever has. I feel sorry for them tho, Thurston abuses each of them for about 5 minutes a game. Farrar will probs prefer to play for Manly
