Re: Rugby League 2021
He is very unlikely he gets selected ahead of - Tedesco, Morris, Morris, Manu, Tupou. Then they have Billy Smith and Ikivula (? Spelling). This looks to me just like lip service to Suuali and his manager / family. Or partly how they lured him from the Bunnies.

He's 18 in August. He needs to work on getting through a half of reggies without cramping.

I could be completely wrong but I thought the 18 rule came in after Adam Ritson was repeatedly targeted with high shots and sadly his brain turned to mush.

Re: Rugby League 2021
What criteria would the NRL use to allow one 17 year old to play first grade NRL and another not to be allowed? A judgement call?

Re: Rugby League 2021
With the new rule regarding the Bunker looking at tries to overturn, is that until the goal kick is taken?
If so, If I had been awarded a try and know it were knocked on, I'd be waving away the attempt to kick at goal

They'd review it straight after its awarded, so there'd be time to over turn before the restart is taken

Re: Rugby League 2021
So Cam Smith has milked as much as he could from the 2nd year of his contract with Storm by leaving the retirement announcement as close as possible to round 1?
Or would Storm have stopped paying as he wasn't turning up to training?

I've never been one of his haters. He's done some dodgy stuff but it's impossible not to appreciate him as a player.
However announcing his retirement one day before the season kicks off... Seriously, how self absorbed.

Re: Rugby League 2021
Adios. Weird timing to announce it, but at least he’s not coming back. I couldn’t handle another Darren Lockyer style farewell season celebrating even the most insignificant thing...
“Lockyer’s last game at Brookvale!”

Still have very little interest..
Watch the NRL/ARL commission change the rule about waiting 5yrs after retirement to become an immortal.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.
