The Bronco's are a protected species, they have been playing on affair playing field since their inception.
Some of the stories i have heard about how they navigate the cap while our club is a supposed stain on the game is mind boggling.
And Once again News got what they wanted when they got rid of Dave Smith to put in another one of their puppets in Toddy Greenburg. Dave Smith had his faults but at least he couldn't be bought and tried to do what was best for RL, i feel for where the game is heading under that slimy grub Greenburg. The Bunker has been a multi million dollar dud but we have hardly heard boo from the media, Dave Smith copped it for months because he got a players name wrong.......
It was reported yesterday that Semi's manager approached Parra with the idea of Semi going over to France this year and making extra coin on the side and then coming back to fulfill his obligations but the NRL said no because they didn't want an NRL contracted player promoting another code, how can Semi playing Rugby in France be seen as a threat? If anything I think it would promote our code over there, I could understand if Semi was playing for the Wararahs or the Reds but I can't see how it's a threat and why did the NRL allow Gallen and SBW to box in the offseason...is that not supporting another sport?
Todd Greenburg said he wanted to help us after the salary cap issue but where is he, he was front and centre puffing his chest out when he announced the whole thing but when we go to him with a fairly good option that would have helped us out, kept Semi happy and possibly kept Semi in the game for years to come the NRL was simply not interested.
Broncos should have been hauled over the coals for encouraging Barba and Milford to break their contracts. And the Thoroughbreds, don't tell me that club doesn't ring them up for TPAs. But NRL dumb and blind to the obvious!
Compare this to the numerous scathing daily articles that barraged the eels over several months which pressured the NRL to act in a way were the book would be thrown at them.
Nearly every article stated the leagues credibility was at stake if they let parra off lightly.
I believe if the media didn't go on the way they did that parra's outcome would have resulted in a much lesser panalty.
