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.

"State of origin player & Australian rep. How do you feel about this? Maybe it will work out just to place closure into the matter. "
"Yeah that's why they are interested in Lomax because they need a goal kicker as well since Meany and Paps left. Not sure how true this Howarth news is but Lomax would be more valuable to them because of the kicking duties. "
"I see Meaney off to bears, makes more sense now why Melbourne is scrambling "
"Oops I blame the 4hr delay in journey back to Austtalia jeez I am exhausted "
"It's actually a great situation to be in where you are not sure who to choose."
"Too many combinations to pick from. I'm happy with the squad we have, no matter who Ryles picks, I'm sure they deserve it. Like you said, different weeks change depending on the opposition, a horse for courses scenario."
"I don't mind that but I don't see Ryles relegating Williams to the bench. But it could be a thing of different weeks they interchange. Paulo starts then Williams etc.
Some saying De Belin at Prop, he will be 13. For sure.
Michael I would love to…"

"Depends who we get from them but more likely Lomax plays Centre."
"Sending positive vibes your way. Hopefully just an anomaly and you are back to your best soon."
"If Williams plays up front, he is better value off the bench, i think Paulo will start with Hopgood and JDB at 13."
"Good mate. Thats good news. Make sure the bong water is filtered also. Don't want that chlorine mix with the Kikuyu "
"If it's the latter, Paulo goes to the bench with Williams in middle. I just see Kautoga better for 80."
"So Iblood tests say i didn't have a heart attack this morning, but something is odd. Going for a stress test next week. Gotta back off the bongs for a bit though"
"Any kind of player swap/deal that puts Parra in a better position than it was yesterday is a plus.
Hopefully the old soft underbelly of Parra in years gone by has been addressed and we actually benefit from these kind of situations. Lomax should be…"

ANY MORE SIGNINGS???
I've been frustrated recently about the work we have been doing in the open market. Jonah's alright for a year and JDB is solid but he's getting old. I feel we need more in the forwards and some a replacement outside back. All I have seen is links…

Strangest part about the Lomax situation.
To me the thing that stands out the most in this whole situation is how quickly Ryles moved forward once Lomax asked for the release and slammed the door shut on any return by signing other players to join the squad. This tells me Ryles is pretty…

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
