"That's a decent reply. Would Brisbane be interested? Perhaps, though they did win a comp with Karapani and Mariner, though both premiership winners they are still cheaper than Lomax. Use that extra money elsewhere. But Piakura not sure on, he is a…"
"The Storm must have realised how screwed that are from a legal perspective and needed Abdo to apply the blowtorch to help them from copping this on the cap, not just getting the deal done.
Every day is another hit for them. I hope they keep coming."

"Well V'Landys said they would not break rules with the cap to advantage Storm or Eels. This won't be an advantage for Storm of course so does that go in line?"
"Clintorian, I'd be flabbergasted if this isn't casually swept under the rug.
Regardless of outcomes, it makes me smile we are playing a different game —pulling the rug away with the power of the subpoena.

"Im thinking some of the savvy, experienced and high performing operators around the game will see this as an opportunity to pull a double whammy on their rival. Think about the possibility presenting itself to Penrith, Roosters, Sharks, Bulldogs and…"
"This is pretty funny really. The fact that Melbourne just assumed this would be OK suggests they have done similar things before and not been pinged for it by the salary cap auditors. No doubt the NRL sweeps under the carpet issues that are found…"

THIS IS HUGE!

"Bear I read that too and had a laugh; Parra make clicks it seems. How abt Easts / Manly / C'bury / Melb and Souffs? Ryles is going along in a smart way for me. Journos can talk tripe."

"Ahaha this is just too good. I'd love to know if this hadn't have gone to court, if this would've been off the books. Salary cap cheaters doing what they do best."

Cannot see why not, but unfortunately the battling line looks as fragile as poppa's hips!lol it appears it could be a tough summer
Nothing wrong with my hips Mickey. It what hangs off them thats a bit wobbly!
Please no pics pop's!lol Keep it PG.
In the absence of 'experts' in the field I'd think the batsmen at the top of the order need to book a bulk visit to a good shrink. The fog and uncertainty need to expelled so they can play once again assured. Only Travis, Marsh and Carey are currently mentally fit to play a role in the test team. India has a dynamic bowling group, but they're aided large by the meek effort of some of our batters.
Hope you're right Mick, I always look to our cricket team to take my mind away from the o'rf season. If there's no bounce back from them, my only back-up is the Thunder.
Yeah RJ, cricket is a great game takes our minds off footy for while but now its seems NRL is 365 day business - all it takes is a great knock or great partnership and it can turn a series
They need a talk from Steve Waugh. Learn what it takes for the mental disintegration of your opponents. To do that, you have to be completely switched on and focussed yourself.
The lack of red ball cricket has also not helped. Where is the Sheffield Shield? That's supposed to produce Test Cricketers, but all we have seen is T20 and a few one-dayers.
Team overall is getting too old and the current state of Shield cricket is uninspiring.
We are on the decline, unless a few unexpected youngsters jump out of the ground.
The bowlers tend to be pretty good game to game but the batters (ex Head) are basically flat track bullies.
Khawaja (38) should be pensioned off. Labuschagne (30) is hopelessly out of form. Smith (35) seems to be past it. Starc (34) is all over the shop innings to innings. Lyon (37) is not ever going to do a Warne and rip thru a team. Hazlewood (33) is good but he is no McGrath. Cummins (31) is inconsistent but generally good.
We miss Green but also need a genuine bowling all-rounder who can be our Flintoff, Pollock etc. I thought Cummins might turn into that but his batting is getting worse.
My opinion only and I am sure others will have different thoughts.
Have to agree with everything you've said Badger. Depressing but true. Also we can't continually bowl using the seam while the blokes from the Sub-Continent excell in that manner.
