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.

"Do you think cost of living would be an issue when your on $900K a year?"
"That's what i mean. To say Parra wont go for Dearden since they wouldn't budge on Brown at $900k is not true."
"We can't afford to think like this because your talking 4-5 years plus down the track for that to happen.What your looking at with Galvin is opening the premiership window by partnering him with Moses and that's the key because right now we are…"
"Yeah, but were we thinking Galvin to develop into a Yeo type 13 by the time the annointed junior is ready to go?"
"Your right and the fact that our front office and coach have failed twice now to land big fish you'd be hardly confident in them landing a guy like Deardon.I'd give us about 1/5 chance.We had a guy with huge potential leave we got a rental now and…"

"900k is the top end of the value for D Brown, he is an 800k player. The lad can barely kick a footy."
"Not being negative, just being realistic in this specific context."
"Yeah exactly. Those juniors were here when going for Galvin."
"If you ignore us going hard for Galvin"
"No chance at Parra it's pretty clear who they are gromming for the halves and it's internal players "
"He looks like a potential Roosters player."

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…

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
