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 would pay herbie $800k, probably more, he is that good, offers as much in attack as the best 6's and 1's and his defence is top 2-3 for a centre.
Casey Mclean is another worth $650k."

"My thoughts exactly, I wonder if he is hoping to improve his stock before hitting free agency after nov 1 for the 2028 season. "
"Great news! Glad they got it done quickly as suspect he attracted attention. "
"I find the one year extension interesting given his age. Wonder if the club only offered 1 year or if Nanva's side only wanted 1 year."

"The club havent confirmed it but I do definitely remember in a press conference he said he is with the club till 2028. He said it last year. Surely he would not be BS about that. It is very strange."
"EA, I havnt seen anywhere from the club that confirms Will Pensini. Am i missing something."
"I honestly see him being a very similar player to Russel."
"Good news, well done Parra, looked very confortable in first grade."
"He is quiet a well rounded player. No glaring weakness but also doesn't have that elite skill or attributes. He is only 22 to be fair. He is definitely worthy as a depth outside back but if he was to be my starting centre, I would hope that someone…"
"I like him, with Russell going there is a chance for him to get a full-time spot but also good depth to come in and do a job."
"From my understanding the Eels top 30 for next year is currently 22 players:

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
