800k of the Storm deal is supposedly with Smith and I would think he could earn that without any dodgy dealings. You would think of any player he has a lot of whole of game deals as well. If I recall at its peak TPAs were 15m total on a 6.5m cap. It would be very interesting to see the historical n...

Seiffert82

Ok, it's a bit rich that there is no transparency around these "whole of game" deals that obviously require marquee players to be located in certain cities. Those arrangements should definitely be made public. I also think it would be more beneficial for the companies involved with particular player...

Seiffert82

Yeah, I guess it depends on the status of the game.

Seiffert82

Here's one for you on the 20/40... 20 metre restarts.... If i were coaching, my instructions to the team and Wighton would be very simple...A lot of the time the fullback is involved in chasing those grubbers... if a grubber goes into dead and it's a 20 metre restart the instructions are for wighto...

Seiffert82

Thanks GE. It's absolutely disgraceful that this sort of misleading information is published by the NRL.

Seiffert82

Yeah, I was almost going to go Fergo over Cotric as I think he was better at his peak, but the douchebag factor played its part.

Seiffert82

I feel sorry for Tonguey that the end of his career was diminished by playing out of position. x2 Did an admirable job in the role too, under challenging circumstances. It's an absolute travesty that his reputation has been tainted by the rubbish he had to deal with. Still one of my favourite all t...

Seiffert82

I just don't think you should be labelling something a development contract when it is essentially just used as a second tier contract for cap purposes.

The whole salary cap system needs a complete overhaul.

They can get NRL permission to back up in the first half of the season if there are no players in the position available after injury/suspension. After 30 June they can be drawn upon if needed.

Thanks.

Seiffert82

It's a stupid system. What's the go with development contracts these days anyway? Are development contracted players only eligible for First Grade if all other players in their position are injured? If so, theoretically Frawley is eligible if two of Wighton, Williams and Williams are injured. Not en...

Seiffert82

Yeah, it's not like Stuart is signing superstars to Canberra either. He is taking punts on Pommies, young kids like Tapine, Horsburgh, Simonsson etc and diamonds in the rough like Leilua, Rapana, CNK, Austin, Taylor and Oldfield - but at no stage has he talked about how hard it is to get quality pla...

Seiffert82

Campese managed to have two purple patches in his entire career and that was it - second half of 2008 and 2010. Outside of that, he was an ordinary footballer. Even in the first half of 2010 he was poor and that's reflected in our ladder position. It's little wonder that we were dross for so long w...

Seiffert82

Campese had an excellent kicking game IMO. Had a great combo with Monaghan and his long kicking game was the best we had for years.

Seiffert82

In all honesty, if I was picking a team of players over the last 10 seasons I'd have Wighton at 6 and Campo at 7. Campese was pretty much our halfback.

Is he better than Craig Frawley?
I had flashbacks to when he was our big of season signing. Dire times they were.

Back in those days the article would include a quote from Matt Elliott bemoaning how hard it is to recruit quality players to Canberra and then some Bull about cattle.

Seiffert82

Obviously wants to come home.

Seiffert82

Campo's 2010 was fantastic and I think he will in time be arguably our most under-rated player, but we don't make the 2019 Grand Final without Wighton playing the way he did. Hard to go past that, as far as this decade goes. Wighton has also probably overtaken Campo as our best defensive half since ...

Seiffert82

Radical.

Yes it is.

Terrible form.

Can't wait to vote for Frank Paul Nu'usuala and Matt Orford.

I think the 20/40 rule could work in our favour. Hodgo isn't too bad with kicking them. No changes to the 1:1 strip rule, which is good to see I suspect they will be quite difficult to kick. Usually if you are pinned you're coming off your line. 40/20's as they stand tend to come off the back of qu...

I so want to vote for CNK, but I'd probably have to go Dugan if I put all the bastardry aside.

Seriously, the bloke's tenure here was an absolute stain on the organisation, but he's probably the best all-round fullback on that list.

Seiffert82

Leilua is not playing Reggies. He's our best centre. Why the **** would you not play him if he's in the team? It'd be like the Storm not playing Vunivalu after he signed for the Reds. :lol: Seriously, if the club has the cash to keep him and he wants one more shot to win a comp at the Raiders, I hav...

Seiffert82

The Aussie rep won't be playing in the centres though.

It's really Scott vs Leilua and we're pretty certain Leilua won't be here beyond 2020, let alone what might happen over the offseason.

Seiffert82

That cowboys stadium looks good and maybe a design we could copy for Canberra. GE - was the cost (cows) comparable to the Eels stadium? Sent from my SM-G570F using Tapatalk Cost was initially estimated at $250 million, blown out to something closer to $300 million. Latest official estimate I could ...

Seiffert82

Penrith should have been strong this year.

Cleary needs to find a mate for Cleary Jr. Lot of pressure to find someone to replace Maloney if May remains out of action.

Seiffert82

Yeah, hard to argue for Wighton over Mitchell. I can definitely see him over Munster though, but that could go either way.

Bateman should definitely be there over Murray.

Seiffert82

Yep, just as I suspected...

And people. Heaps of frikken people.

In regards to trees?

Not as good I suspect.

Seiffert82

Yep, nobody else can compete with the Titans Performing High centre of mediocrity.

Seiffert82

Impossible to fairly rate, but he didn't look out of place out there. Obviously has a great attitude and is mentally quite tough playing his role at that size.

Didn't watch enough Mounties games to get a real feel for how valuable he is to our squad.

Seiffert82

I've been to Braddon. There are any number of trees there.

I suspect the artist hasn't been to Braddon at all.
