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 actually agree about Jezaiah. Very Keoan style part edge/part middle. I think a full season in cup as an edge though should be good for his tactical awareness. "
"EA and LB would know more, but from the little I've seen of him he still requires some work. I think some Flegg this year and maybe start in SG Ball again next year. But he's good. "
"I agree but since there is no great middles available anymore, moving Williams to fulltime middle makes sense. He's the type of middle Ryles likes. He's no meter eater but Ryles doesn't want to many of them anyway. I think he believes having 1 or…"
"i am still adamant that Jezaiah needs to move to the middle. Latu needs to fix his fitness up so he can go back to his damaging best. He always looks tired out there in cup."
"Excellent signing if true.
Sua and Kautoga as edges, Williams moves fulltime in the middle. Gives us more time too to work on Latu, Funa-Iuta, Petrus as the up and coming edges.
Good stuff."

Possible cup 2026 and nrl 27 ?????"

"I know but sometimes money talks, and look with Hass and DCE. I won't count it out, with tago I reckon he's the one to come our way and the reason why because Jake is at parra and meanwhile at panthers they are more inclined to just keep stacking up…"
"Oh I agree, Su'A is more a luxary for us. If we can't get say Keaon, I'm using as an example if things get worse, Su'A becomes more of a luxury."
"It's actually great parenting. Takes pressure of them. Then when we sign him there is no nepotism involved as he made it himself."
"He was training in captain's run. So he will be in 19 with Teancum Brown dropping out.
Now whether it is Volkman or him at 19 remains to be seen."

"Yeo I reckon would retire a Panther. Tago is realistic."
"Reckon we could nab Tago and get Yeo since he comes off contract in the end of 27. Come on we need a 13 and a prop maybe Mariota or Cotter ??"
"Richard your someone that's been watching him properly as you say. His attacking upside is great. But are you worried by the fact his defence and high ball decision is not improving. Plus the difference between his good and bad game is still big "
"I cant blame Apa for testing the market. League is a gladiatorial sport and your next game could be your last. You train all your life for a major payday. Look at poor Hayze Dunster ( done just when he made the team) or Stephen Arthur-Miller…"

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
