What style are we going to Play in 2021

Jennings and Parramatta’s Salary Cap

Does anyone know the Salary Cap rules regarding Michael Jennings being stood down?

If he is suspended for the entirety of next season, does his salary eat away at our cap?

SOO AND THE COMPLETE LACK OF INTEREST FROM FANS.

Have you noticed the complete lack of interest in SOO this year?

Being bored and having nothing to do, I trolled a few footy sites and apart from NRL and TV channels no one is commenting on "The Greatest Game of All"
