Packer

Posted by shane on September 28, 2014 at 5:30pm

St George Illawarra Dragons have beaten the opposition to sign Russell Packer in a deal worth more than a million dollars once he comes out of prison at the end of the year. The former Warriors prop is still behind bars after being found guilty of punching a man on a night out in Sydney last year and, in the words of the magistrate, Greg Grogan, punching again while the man was "lying motionless on the ground and then stomping on his head". CONFLICTING STORY: Penrith and Packer agree two-year contract Packer has been busy in prison sorting out what his next move will be and Fairfax Media believes he will agree to play for the Red V. The Panthers also went after Packer in a big way but ran into salary cap issues, while the Broncos could not match what the other clubs were willing to pay.

    A million dollar deal, wow. You would have to think that's a bit far fetched.

    How much James Graham then?

    1 million dollar contract, a great reward for nearly killing a man.

    Disgraceful if the NRL allow it.

    I believe he is going to the 'Ruff

    I hope the NRL tells them all to get stuffed.

     Is it possible to play for two teams at the same time?

    what, play for two teams at the same time?

    This is why it's a million dollar deal - 2 salaries...

    What happens when the Dragons play Penrith?

  • CP September 29, 2014 at 1:17pm
