Yeah, I think the Everest is a better quality race than the Caulfield Cup. It's really starting to draw more attention. Combine that with the Caulfield Cup being diminished as a guide to the Melbourne Cup there's no great surprise. Pierata a huge chance. Sanata Ana Lane hardes to beat. Think those 2...

My submission for the "I got it wrong" list. Luke Bateman. He was a stand out in the juniors. Didn't measure up at senior level. Hit his physical peak too early maybe.
Ata Hingano - Ricky and I both thought he had potential to be a great winger....

That's why with Bateman we should be looking at TPAs to top up the current deal. Secures him for the remainder of his contract at the lower cap figure. His new manager gets his cut as they generally claim a higher % of TPA money.

Win win

Spring carnival getting to the pointy end. Caulfield Cup on Saturday is as open as any I've seen. The more analysis I do the harder it gets. Thinkings about getting one of the kids to pick one by name or pretty colours.

Cotric to the centers if Joey goes I reckon Sent from my iPhone using The Greenhouse mobile app powered by Tapatalk Right now that's the obvious one with Simonssen to the wing and Oldy next on the depth chart for all spots.

Northern Raider

Exhibition Park is a rubbish idea. Better off just knocking down the existing stadium and building a new one in that case Yep. There's very little advantage in shifting from one suburban venue only to create another. If its not going to be around Civic may as well redevelop where it currently is. A...

Sombreros and brown envelopes aside, could the Roosters be looking at Jack as an immediate replacement for Cronk?

Northern Raider

The Raiders are looking to evolve and improve and manage the cap. This is very Rooster like. I think it’s potentially promising. Bring in a cheaper back, shift dollars to your halfback and keeping your star back rower and five eighth on board. After 2016 the club said... all we have to do is keep t...

mea culpa on Ryan Hall on not being a current international

Still, i really doubt that Hall and Morris combined would be on more than Fergo. This was not a case of the Sombrero at play

Can't comment as I don't know the value of each of their contracts.

WHERE THE HELL DID SCHIFTY APPEAR FROM????
I have no idea, but I'd like to request a name change to The Nickman, please.

Don't do it. We had a guy who used to post under that name and he was a total jerk.

Northern Raider

Read the article guys. Tarps said nothing like "at all costs". He simply expresses that he wants Jack to stay a Raider. No doubt a sentiment carried by the whole team*.

*except maybe Aiden Sezer and Sam Williams.

Northern Raider

They let Fergo walk and replaced him with a pair of internationals in Morris and Hall. They manage the sombrero as well as any club. ;) Come on now. Morris is 33 years old, he basically went there on the cheap to try and win a premiership. He had some good games for them and wound back the clock a ...

Northern Raider

Roosters may let Latrell walk, but that’s because he doesn’t pull his weight. He’s very very lazy, complete opposite of Joey. Robinson doesnt shy away from taking on those sorts of attitude issues. They'd sign Latrell long term if they could do it for 700k a year. If they lose him it will be becaus...

Northern Raider

All well and good to shift money out of your front row, but who’s going to pull the weight instead? Well BJ has been doing exactly that. Our halves don’t have a platform to play upon, without go-forward. Not only is he our best centre, he’s our 2nd best at taking runs (behind only Papalii). He shou...

Northern Raider

That might be the best deal we get. Nobody can doubt his ability. Big question marks about his discipline still and coming off a serious neck inury I'd say his market value is sligthly diminished. On hypothetical numbers - BJ to Dogs sees us carry $100k dead money. Pick up a replacement (e.g. Lomax...

Northern Raider

Plenty of journalistic license in the "at all costs" part. Tapine said nothing like that in the quotes.

Northern Raider

BJ to Dogs for $500k is the news this morning. That... seems like we’re still playing freight. I’m not a big fan of that AT ALL Assuming the quoted numbers are accurate then its a case of carrying $100k in dead money or his full $600k contract in 2020. I'd much rather he stayed but I don't know the...

It’s just ridiculous that the NRL grand final isn’t held at the best available venue, for both capacity AND facilities/viewing experience.

It really is disgraceful.

...and if they really wanted it at a cricket ground then there's at least 3 better ones around.

Northern Raider

It is clear from the press release that compensation for lower gate takings was the key. I'd be prepared to bet that the NRL gave little or no consideration to the number of their own members who'd be excluded from attending. They would only have used that as leverage in the negotiations. It was ne...

Little doubt they've received a big financial package from NSW government to keep it in Sydney while they're rebuilding some proper stadiums.

Fact is this has nothing to do with Croker specifically. It's only a select few, very special people on this forum who want to bring him up in nearly every thread. It does. Right now we're in a thread about Joey Leilua and whether or not he'll stay at the club. The topic of player contracts is hot ...

If by polar opposite you're insinuating completely rubbish player, should be playing NSW cup, etc, then I'd wager that very few of our own fans truly hold this view - I certainly don't personally.

"no less than 12 clubs have called me in the last three days," manager Matt Rose said.

Haha, classic manager speak. They are so full of **** you can't trust anything that comes out of their mouths.

Northern Raider

Classic NRL. They don't have a stadium up to standard for the next 2 years but still refuse to take the GF to another city. Top class facilities available in Brisbane and Melbourne but they just can't let go of the Sydney centric mindset.

Northern Raider

Huge deal. I guess it could be regarded as a good result for both teams. Jags pick up some great draft collateral for a player that wanted out. Rams get the too shelf corner they desperately needed.

Northern Raider

Missed penalty kick that goes dead... rather than a 20m drop out by the infringing team, hand the ball to the infringing team for a 20m tap kick. - Dumb idea. Shifts the advantage to a team giving the penalty away. We will only see more penalties given away as a result as risk is diminished. The cr...

Northern Raider

I think that would be a better option. I'd happily let Croker AND Joey walk if you'd **** off. That’s just crazy talk - why would we release both centres? 🤪 There's a subtle hint in his post. Just like Crokers kick against the tigers in the 2010 final, I guess I missed it.... The similarities are u...
