What happens now? Players want their new pay deal ratified or will not turn up to training on Monday which will hold up the competition return. The tail is wagging the dog.

"Fully understand LB, what I am saying is by signing another preferred left sided player in my mind it doesn't make sense. It would make more sense to go for a right sided player and let JAC continue to perform at his ceiling rather than dropping.…"

"I agree most wingers have a preferred side and are usually better there. My point is that doesn't automatically mean Jenkins wouldn't sign. Penrith train their outside backs to play both sides and Jenkins has played right wing before. If Parra…"
"Archie, thanks for your kind words mate.
I agree. We need both.
Admitedly, Mason's passion is admirable: the whole "die for the club" ethos. Players who will run through walls. Gibson's core of 6 or so tough nuts. That's harder to find than it…"

"Have i stuffed something Hoe. Lorenzo has a development deal for 2027, am i wrong in believing come Nov.1 he can talk to other clubs. "
"Captain and Bluey, thanks for sharing.
The only downside to being aboard that train is some false advertisement for the passangers e.g. Lorenzo being available Nov 1st.
I'll leave it at that as Bluey said he had the withdrawal shakes yesterday."

"Badger,
On Su'a.
Yep, probably overs. Market realities. He's probably attracted TPAs too. But I seriously doubt it would be anywhere near Keaon who would be up there as one of the highest paid in the game.
The thing is with the overheated market you…"

"Say it's for now. Rusty goes to reserve grade. He had a good game against broncos. With fox speed and power on 1 side."

Remember Rodney Hogg

I'm in the players corner here. They agreed to a 75% pay cut until the game could restart, and I agree it was necessary, but if they are going to start playing again, and presumably getting broadcast income flowing again, then the players want to know what their pay arrangements are going to be, and fair enough.
The 75% cut was for the duration of when the game wasn't operating, once it starts operating and the game gets some cash flow the players deserve to be paid accordingly. The NRL has thus far not addressed this concern, however I'm sure they will. The players desperatley want to start playing again, but they don't want to be taken for granted, and fair enough.
The other issue is around the Warriors. They have to be in quarantine for 14 days after they arrive before they can start training. The Warriors players are understandably concerned that this hasn't been nailed down yet, and they aren't prepared to commit to traveling across the ditch and then being in quarantine without a deal in place. Again, fair enough I say.
There is an agreement already in place if the competion resumes,the players get 29.5 pc of any revenue from then on, it is not yet known how much that will be. The players and that wanna be Newton continue to throw up road blocks , cance the comp for gods sake and let these self entilted shits cry about that, I had hopes the comp wopuld resume on rhe 28th, not any more.
Thats fine if they dont - no-one wins. Seriously both fox and ch 9 could be stubborn too in light of the players behaviours this week. No-one wins. AFL will be back soon as will some o/seas soccer....there will be sport to watch somewhere. The marbles has even taken off.....
Well the Belorussian Premier League has been playing this whole time. It's the only professional sport that has continued operating uninterrupted.
Yes Brett and its good stuff. I congratule those Belorussians, a tough race.
i agee with the playes but the reality is that they will play. They are fully paid up untilk the end of May whic means they are obligated to turn up and train, after that they wont get paid a cent. All of the players i have spoken to are so worried abou their next paycheck, despite some of these players being marquee players that they would do anything to get back and play.
All of the club officials i have spoken to are also confident of the game restarting. Storm in a teacup
As long as our guys want to turn up and train i dont give a crap what the others do
