Good experience being around an elite group
This will trigger his contract clause he has with us that if he plays/gets selected for Australia or NSW he gets a big bonus.
Can anybody remember what that yearly bonus figure was?
He's bit going to play according to that article. Simply going across as squad depth at this stage. I believe that clause only gets triggered if he actually gets an Australian cap.
$2.75 go being selected 19 th man.
Taking off my Eels glasses for a minute , I must say he’s the next best bloke available then Australia have massive issues .
Agree 100% wiz , Gutho is a good player when everything is going well for his team but he has yet to show he can perform against top opposition and he makes a lot of mistakes when under pressure.
The standard of the game is at such a piss poor standard these days you don't have to do much to play rep footy while before a player had to show some sustained form against all opposition for a period of time or have incredible talent .
The standard of the game has never been been better so I don't know what you flogs are on about. Go put on a game from the 90's or even early 2000's and tell me that the players were better then? The game now is precision - one fuckup where you don't find the in goal with your kick or you kick it dead can basically cost you the game. In defence one bad read and bang it's try time. The athletes are quicker stronger etc. the halfbacks put the ball on a dime with their cross field kicks. The wingers only need literally half a metre of space and it's try time. I honestly don't understand how anyone can think the standard of players is less than before.
100% Michael, the game isn't better or worse, it's just evolved.
Exactly. Basically the game is way more fine tuned these days with everything down to a minutiae of detail and precision. But there is no way known the players are less talented that's rubbish. Sure there is a little less opportunity for self expression on the field but some of the freakish things players pull off these days were unheard of 20 years ago. If you want to argue the game was better to watch 20 years ago that's a different argument and you might even win that one (although I'd argue some games were absolute bludgers back then) but it's not more skilful.
The game has moved from skill to size. That's the biggest difference I see. Little skinny guys don't really have a chance playing NRL these days.
In the days before the 10m rule, halves had to use their wits in order to gain field position. A chip midway through the tackle count here, a little grubber there, these days it 5 bash and barge runs up the middle followed by a kick to the corner to find your 200 cm winger.
15-20 years ago, Bevan French would have been a franchise player. In today's game, he gets rag-dolled. All this skill and pace is wasted.
Can someone confirm that the 20-40 rule will be applied next year? I think it would be great if it was.
