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.

You know what Tuilagi is we don't dedicate any long term money or years to a guy who basically is a bridge to the next guy.Tuilagi if he left next year I'm telling you now I'm not losing any sleep.

"NSW cup. Alamadine, Devonte, Pryke out"
"Well he only played the first half. Not come on in the second half so probably just eased him in to play nsw cup next week"
"Jersey Flegg is getting spanked. I got no idea what he sees in some of these older players. The 1-7 are genuinely rubbish. The 13 is terrible. How Howlett, Sorovi and Rokusuka cannot get game time over these current outside backs blow my mind. The…"
"I don't understand what Rankin sees in some of these players"
"After 13min he looked so tired and uninterested "
"I don't disagree with you. Perhaps worth trialling him in the middle now"
"FFS 🤦♂️. Of all the injuries too. "
"Acl. So yeah when we count our injured players we forget him. As usual when he starts finding form he gets unlucky with injuries. He started the year of slowly and found form the game before he got injuries "
"Perhaps easing him back? That's all I got to be fair."
"It makes you wonder IF these referees are actually on the take, or been informed by the NRL to try sway the results for certain teams or if the referees & bunker referees have particular teams they favour or IF they're just totally incompetent and…"
"What's happened to Will Latu? Is he injured?"
"The problem for Kelma is we have been saying how good he could be for how many seasons now? Kind of loosing patience with him. 1 year deal is all I would offer and as some have said, explore him as a middle too."
"Richie Penisni has been named in JF but there is also an outside back on the JF bench in Howlett. Not sure what's going on. Richie is easily better than Alamadine, Hill and Vaivelia. Perhaps easing the injury prone player in?"
"I think Kelma could be developed into a front row if we don't resign Junior. Keep his game simple. He has more upside than Morretti. "
Remember Rodney Hogg
Rodney was a late arrival to Test cricket at age 27. Born in Victoria he was overlooked by state selectors and moved to Adelaide to find an earlier path to Shield.He was selected and within a year he was noticed by Alan Davidson who mentioned his…

DISGRACEFUL REFEREEING AGAIN!!!
I think it's fair to say the NRL has it in for us.No 6 agains for the Eels every game.This game with a few minutes to go, the ref clearly calls the marker not square on a delayed call, the Eels challenge and he says you can't challenge, it was a 10m…

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
