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 do realise we have injuries, but you can't tell me we have anyone of the calibre of an Olakauatu type player. Kelma looks like he is gone next year, but we have signed a better replacement. "
"Yea Guymer future is in the middle. I agree regarding TDS and maybe some Walker magic through the middle. I don't mind Pensini one on one against his centre either "
"Is Russell playing, haven't seen him."
"I love me some Charlie Guymer I love his grit but he's about as athletic less as a back rower gets.There is just zero running threat with the pill there.
Kelly can stay on the wing he's going great guns and thank god for Jnr Paulo the renaissance…"

"Ummm what do you think all these injuries cause. Doorey and Tuivita on the bench. Iongi out the back. Kautoga "
"Guymer turns into contact and drops to ground most runs. He is not used to starting and playing for entire games so hopefully with some match fitness he will run smarter."
"Kautoga and Kelma do bring that. Guymer a good honest player but he runs and moves in slow motion lol "
"Offloads by Olakuatu should be contained. They are getting 2nd phase play off that. Lock in the ball."
"We really do need size in the middle, and on an edge. Someone like Olakauatu, we have no strike player on an edge. Sua might solve that next year."
"Sign Jerome Luai!!"
"Mataele is huge too"
"We've had most of the field position, really should be in front... Defence has been good though"
"Can't challenge that"
"Run hard tackle hard is the order of the day. Penisini and Kelly have been huge. Russell could give them a hand in yardage. Stick with this. "
"Even Kautoga Kelma we kind of miss their strike on edges. Guymer and Williams are very good workers but 0 threat "
"And Cronk for that matter. It's the issue when likes of Benji and Foz get jobs and Cronk who played against them has too much respect to knock them."

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
