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.

"Players player for the Eels was Ezra Mam. We don't win without him on the field."
"3 - Mitch Moses - Can give the most credit to other plays, but quitely simply if Moses isn't there, we don't win. Especially in the last 10 minutes when we hit back in the lead. The players were buggered and Moses' kicking game was perfect. He kept…"
"Whatever Ryles does, he quite simply needs to figure out how the Eels can better compete in the first 20 mins. Twice in a row they have not kept up with the pace of the game, conceding too many 6-agains and penalties and the result has been they…"
"Yep Tuivaiti gets through enough work to earn that starting spot."
"He got wider in attack, particularly towards Mam side of the field that helped him poke the nose through and make metres. Brisbane were back peddling the whole second half bar one set on our own line where Samrani stayed down and Reynolds went off."
"De Belin looked way better in his 2nd stint. But his sole purpose is defence, in that portion of the game where Brisbane middles tried to wrestle back momentum in the middle he was solid in defence. "
"Pezet was good, he straightened up the play well, handled the rushing defence by kicking in behind. But yeah his try and Smith's tries were lets be honest rubbish kicks and lucky. Twice i said "Pezet the hell are doing" trying to catch Walsh in the…"
"For a half playing only his 20th game of NRL, his response to last weeks hell hole was to be commended. Glad for him."
"Bluey, I was stoked when Pezet scored and set up some tries. I suspect you might have been too. It's 2026. He is wearing an Eels badge."
"You must be used to premature ejaculations."
"Thanks for the update.

"Pezet had 3 runs, 5 kicks, 2 errors, and 3 try assists. Let's be frank, two of his try assists were fluke kick/regather efforts by others and his try a fluke kick/regather by himself. Ryles played possum about what he has to work on in the press…"
"Naah. JDB and Kelly are good options, but they are here to take the sting and lessen the pressure on younger players with higher potential. They should be alright being jersey 18 and 19 every matchday but it won't hurt their development if they…"
"We had 20% of the ball their first stint on the field.
Expecting both to get better as the season goes on . Game is too quick for the best of middles at the moment . "

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
