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.

"How does Moretti, Guymer and Samrani not get a run in the team. This is the future honestly these guys will walk and we sign De Belin for a ridiculous reason. Another Stephen Kearney alike happpening "
"Not the team I would pick. Good luck to them. A bit worrying JR said we are miles ahead of last year. We got rolled by more by a worse Melbourne. I don't know how that's an improvement. Onwards and upwards!"
"4 points? That's kind of you to reckon we will score BEM haha. Unless you think it's two penalty goals."
"Pleased to see Kelly out...phew. Good on JR.
Thought Simmo would sit it out for Samrani, maybe simply opting for experience against Broncs

"Well Williams can come off in the rotation and come back in and play the rest of the game from the edge about 50mins in."
"Agree and it's often effort areas that let's him down I.e. too slow on the inside shoulder/ not responding quick enough to second phase play. Would have gone moretti bench and left Tuilagi out "

The 50+ Statistic
I found this statistic interesting and wasn't aware it was a 113 year record. Can the Eels make history by breaking this record and also a 40 year drought? Let's hope so. Records are meant to be broken. Strangely enough the Eels were Newcastle…

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
