Again it highlights the problem with contracts being negotiated 18 months out. Players keep signing for the following year at a rival club and an early release is becoming the norm.

They've got to stop chasing players based on their names. Proctor has been OK, but highly over priced coming out of that Storm system, while deals for the likes of Taylor, Hayne and Boyd have been horrific. ...add Peachey and Cartwright to that list. Big contracts for players that have been a negat...

So it was back in the days of Stuart, Daley, Clyde etc when we had back to back good seasons.

The Elliott years were reasonably consistent but I wouldn't regard scraping into the 8 and going out in straight sets as a 'good' year. Particularly given we were coming off a top 4 spot previously.

Northern Raider

When was the last time we backed up a good year with another one?

Yep, solid win. Hard to comment much on our middle order though! British or India rank second?
Drop Labu, drop Smith..

Don't need em.

Reckon we go with 8 bowlers. Carey can bat no3 on the off chance Finch or Warner get run out.

Northern Raider

Give me $60m and I'd probably retire too.

Northern Raider

There is zero chance he goes to the titans. They wouldn't even up their offer for arrow. They're not going to be offering a number that would have BJ happy to be collecting a spoon. They have too much money tied up with Taylor, James, Boyd, Proctor, Peachey, Cartwright and many more under achievers.

Northern Raider

Croker to Lock could be the thing for 2020.

Now that the Tigers have officially missed Latrell, look for them to sign BJ before Rd1.
No inside info. Just reading the tea leaves.
Bank it

Shouldn't that be in the Raiders Player Unsigning Speculation thread?

I did see on another forum that the TV first down line was not in the right spot. Sent from my SM-G570F using Tapatalk This is true. From that pic it's about the thickness of the line too far forward. It's way still short though. Ball is about in line the numbers on tackler's shirt. The telling fac...

Just for clarification. Down by contact is when a runner is contacted by an opponent and touches the ground with any part of his body other than his hands or feet. That therefore includes the helmet.

As a neutral observer I'll say the Seahawks got shafted on that last spot for the 1st down. He looked about a foot short. Sent from my SM-G570F using Tapatalk That's how I saw it. Helmet came down short of the mark. You could even see a gouge in the turf where it landed. Ball was on his chest so yo...

Look at who are succeeding in the T20, and who aren't in the Aussie side... Stoinis Maxy MMarsh Despite how good his innings was last night it’s hard to argue for Stoinis in the national side with how out of his depth he was at the World Cup. He is the leading T20 run scorer by 160+ runs. That's cr...

The way it reads a player could run over the boundary, jump in the air and knock the ball back in to prevent a Six. Doesn't sound right at all. Thats exactly the rule, and not how anyone believed it to be. Wont be a difficult fix, but a fix is needed. Now it's been 'exposed' you can expect players ...

Except others were offering more than $800,000 a season and they strung them along and turned down those other clubs.

Only the Tigers reported $950k per season. My feeling is there were issues beyond the actual money at play here.

It's all explained in the story here, including the rules.

Decision was correct but can't say I like the rule.

Northern Raider

I was at the game last night and everybody around me was confused. We all though it was six and couldn't work out how the ump came to the Out decision. If the decision was correct then the rule should be changed. Any player out of play e.g. over the boundary, should have to re-enter play before touc...

Northern Raider

The way I read it he will get $720k for 2020 ($600k Souths, $120k Roosters) and $800k for 2021. I don't see how he sacrificing much money given the Roosters initial offer was $800k.

It's not so much the price is too big, I'd just prefer a bet that's closer to 50/50 rather than like 95/5.
So you're suggesting Matt's prediction is not that big a reach.
Good grief this is a bad dubby now, NR.

2 referred caught-behinds in a row... both obviously out. Blokes looking for career lifelines happy to sacrifice reviews. The 2nd one was no doubt. The 1st one was questionable.
