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.

"Surely there have been MON discussions at the club. The roster seems to be getting weaker, with less depth every year. Surely six years in the job is long enough when you see a continued downward trend in the new-talent department."
"I was simply giving MON some credit in that he has not been inept. He has made some decent signings in the past. But is not good enough now and a new voice could be needed.

"Mate if Ryles ends up getting sacked before the R&R then delete the club"
"I genuinely don't like going hard on one individual, I truly don't. And obviously MON hasn't been 100% bad all the time at his job.
But at a senior level you're not judged on individual actions, you're judged on outcomes.
So the fact that MON has…"

"Petrus needs to be developed to be our backrower next year in nrl. He will go straight to JF when Ball is over. Should go to cup this year "
"Positive for Polley is he is only 18 so he has years before being considered for top grade, he has time for his development. Petrus is one at the moment i am wondering if he will get some Cup games late in the year."
"If we get a spot in the 8, which we can see after the next month if we are good enough, would set us up more and more. Unfortunate it is slowly.
We need two middles. A Prop and a Lock. Market is bare on paper but things happen and as we have seen…"

"Polley got injured as well. Looked like a hmmy or knee injuries. Was assisted of the field which is not a good sign. Started the year injured. Returned and got injured. Returned this week and injured again. Holy."
"I reckon he's made of tougher stuff. Not everyone wants to dip when things are tough / The next month will tell us a lot about where we are actually at. 2-2 after this scheduling isnt all bad. "
"The rest of the NRL are making up the numbers to Penrith at the moment. Even then, at some point Cleary will purposely have them a little bit underdone to not peak too early and slow everything down and they will still win."
"Didn't say poorly coaches, said simply not good enough. Ryles before the season started pushed desperately for a middle and now we see why, though we need two middles to come in. If i was MON and Ryles work the phones and look for chances to get…"

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
