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.

"I hope so we need something...with lomax fucking off we have no elite players in our backline besides Mo and Iongi. and Moses cant goal kick anymore he is rubbish last few years"
"decent Bench we get a rep front rower and centre (whi can fucking pass and set up his winger) and we almost there"
"How good was underhill sunshine coast boy. People on here say there are no players around Hahahaha. Xerri would be a good get. Burton is overpaid on performance. "
"875000 is too much for him. I won't go above 700."
"
A Moses / Burton halves combination should work well. Burton for 2 or 3 years on a contract similar to or below the reported $875,000 per season he is currently on. "

"Burton goes alright. He's not the most gifted ball player or creative player but he has a good running game, good defender, and a very good kicking. Next to Moses and Iongi he will play his role well. Just need a decent back rower and centre outside…"
"Even better. Opens up the cap to fill that spot too."
"The only people we need to sign from the dogs are.
1. Jack Underhill - what a beast of a player and so young. Will be a origin prop.
2. Xerrie - is the most dangerous left side centre we could get for 2027, if he goes to market will be an excellent…"

"That is also why Ryles went with smaller forwards for that short passing game in the middle. Lack of bigger middles and the tuck the ball under the arm style players."
"Yeah but i said hope. If Brown does, that means we have a talent."
"And as soon as Centre is brought up he requests a release."
"I was thinking tonight watching the game, take away Burton's kicking and what else do you have? He's still a good player, but his best years are behind him without a doubt. I'd still take him for 2-3 years at 6 transitioning to centre."
"Agreed. DB was never a natural right to left kicker and adding a left footer gives us a dynamic we haven't had in a long time. If true Burton is a cracking buy. I said a while ago when everyone was saying he would go to Perth for the coin that it…"
"Agreed on that approach. Explain clearly the development plan for Lorenzo, and why this is good for his career. Make sure his manager fully understands too."
"I think Joash will be the 6 volkman or pezet will be the 18.
But that's a decent bench assuming Ryley is back soon"

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
