Re: Canberra Raiders centre Nick Cotric facing three to four weeks on the sideline

The other thing i would be worried about in contesting it, Is whilst yes your saying 3 week early guilty plea v 5 week accept. is the cloud of carry over pts. Sure he will potentially get loading next time. Which could be dire if its finals, and he gets a low charge, but the minimal pts, plus his lo...

Re: Don Furner on ABC Canberra Grandstand

i could be wrong, but isnt there a date during the year when if you sign someone mid season - they actually go onto your 2nd tier cap?
So we have released these guys from a main cap , and alleviating that pressure.
but there would be space for mid seasoners to come under a different cap..
