"LB you probs correct on two Coaches getting maturity from Lomax, it was all in his mannerism last night. I do wonder the noise from Parra if Gutho went to Wing... for the betterment of the Team? Would he bleet 🐏 so much? "
"If Tago does stay at centre then it does coincide with them having a budget 6 but I still think the plan will be to move him"
"500k for May is well worth it. Penrith know what they'll get from him every week but Lomax is inconsistent, right now he's playing his best football because he's advertising himself to other clubs. When his attitude is down his game can be poor.…"
"The Panthers just re-signed / about to re-sign May on 500k per season, and have re-signed Tago on 750k (reportedly) at centre. Our 3 centres probably don't reach 750k combined.
So while they've developed great wingers as you mentioned, they've also…"

Interesting Bazz; where is this article from? I cannot believe the NRL want $400k from each club for the Int unit? surely this cannot be each season...that is over $6 mill. I would like to know how much the Bunker costs each year.
On another note think someone needs to look into the new appointments to the commission...an ex state leader from QLD and a female who quote the NRL ( Professor Davis is one of the nation’s leading constitutional lawyers who has had a long and distinguished international diplomatic career as well as being a champion of Indigenous and women’s rights ). This is another sign the game has gone too far into the political world, and is a joke.
Donnelly identified business skills required to make the board effective, I don't see that happening here. I see this as identity politics to enhance political correctness already rampant in the NRL.
Finally I disagree that the board is there only for governance issues. They are responsible for setting the games direction
Wtf over $6m to run the integrity unit, and they have never found anything wrong with any club's cap. Only thru whistle blowers do they get anywhere. Best to offer an substantial reward, say $500k, and they might get somewhere.
This is where longfin the game has become more about spin and politics than it should have; Grant seems to abt making the new appt making way for Beattie (ex-premier) to take over; and Int Unit surely should be costed and funded from the NRL funds they take and not clubs. What the hell do these people know about the game; and yes they would have contacts to business but knowing the game is important IMO. This is all becoming like the cricket etc where the'admin' costs are becoming exorbitant. I would like to know each time we pay tickets / memberships how much goes to the NRL licence etc. if it does. For example how much % of Origin / Finals tkts costs goes to NRL etc.
Thanks Brett but i cannot agree; it seems to me more about 'political type ' appt and i fail to see how a person with constitutional law, an international diplomat (former gravy train), champion of ATSI and women's rights' - yes more minority push; Beattie who has served Govt can be the best; it seems more about the 'political correct' type again mate and people who are business minded yes, but lets have people with some football / sport exp in business.
I also recall the push for John Howard before the original board was named..and i am certain it was mentioned not to have former pollies on there (right or wrong). I would have been scouting for some people from over the country / international who have worked on such boards in sport, even the AFL if needed.
And why do we need more on the commission? to block the clubs?
Brett you have confirmed my point about it being politicized thanks mate; and i am not being rude but we all know its about being politically correct hence the women and political (Beattie) side of things; The commissioners have a good say in the direction too Brett and i said previously about having people with business minds who have knowledge of sport rather than diplomats. You only have to listen to young Toddy speak to here the politically sensitive language he uses.
Thanks John, have been known to get the 7 yr itch mate....FYI the list below shows the Commissioners role..
