More stuff to read
"Hard to pick a winner here. The Broncos have home ground advantage and as premiers will be more determined to make amends after last week. It really depends on the 'refereeing' and 'bunker' calls. Sad to say that it depends on 'refereeing' as it…"
"Yep your probably correct"
"HOE, I think there was a bit of a lack of leadership on the field. It appears that the players were kind of rushing things and pushing passes that resulted in errors. Moses should (or maybe he had) told the boys to just hang on to the ball and…"
Both teams suffered heavy losses in Round 1 and will be looking for redemption.
The Eels won the last meeting here 22–20 in a Walsh-inspired cliffhanger, but they have lost four of the past five games against the hosts, who start as raging…

I disagree, Melbourne get stronger and we get nothing. Vaalepu and Pahulu weren't even near the 19 for Melbourne. I would rather him not benefit Melbourne more than take any 1 of those 2 players.
They also offered 200k cap relief or 750k. Could've definitely helped. I wonder what other clubs were prepared to offer too.
Nothing as nobody wanted him. The money does stuff all for us. Melbourne get an international for money we don't need and a fringe player that might not even be better than what we have.
Nope, this is exactly what we were demanding. Now he goes off to Rugby and Melbourne don't get an international.
We can't complain. This is precisely what was happening when we released him. We get his cap money to use elsewhere. We don't give our competitor (who just pumped us) a rep player to compete against us.
Case closed. I never want to hear about this bloke again.
The issue we have now is we struggle to close deals for high tier talent players.That was an issue for this regime before this saga.
It still doesn't take away from us stopping Melbourne basically trying to run the table on us we stopped that and all we have to improve on now is closing deals for the above or we can go elsewhere looking for outside backs wink wink nudge nudge.
And that's exactly what was supposed to happen when he demanded his release 6 months ago. Club was prepared to release him then with nothing in return. Status quo remains.
The only great outcome for us is he will never line up against us.
Nor for the Storm....at least for two years
I honestly cant believe people are complaining that we didnt get anyone. We were never getting anyone who was like for like. What we did was stop a copetitor from bending us over and taking a rep player for nothing.
And that's exactly what the court case was about.
