        • Penrith found Sivo. We poached him from them.

  • Got to admire the poor Roosters, their current 1 to 5 backline would cost 50% of the salary cap at any other club. Then someone that was "obviously" playing for unders, leaves for a short rugby stint.. That will free up millions and he will come back and play for peanuts again, they are so lucky.

      • That can't be true as it is regularly reported that players sign for less to play for the roosters, that is until their last contracted year when media report the inflated value which they will save to buy them a new superstar.

  • Wake me up when we finally sign someone of note will ya?

    • Enjoy the nap Frank. "We're a development club" =  we're not buying anyone unless you find them in the bargain bin

"It is the case of not punishing the best of the best. Rep games feature the best of the best. They are trying to sell a product and the feeling would be if Ponga doesn't play for 3-4 weeks, the product drops. It is BS that is the belief. So protect…"
