2024 NRL General Discussion Thread

Bennett loves a challenge. For him, going to South's would be the safe option.

Going to Parra gives him the opportunity to know and work with a whole lot of new players and stamp his authority, so to speak, on another team.

Parra not winning a grand final since the 80's .. a massive challenge that he would absolutely enjoy and one he probably doesn't want to pass up.

I agree. It all points to Benny to Eels !

Happy for him. But it's our loss.

Surprised he’s picked the Bunnies over the eels tbh.

Not sure who Parra have in mind but they could do worse than giving Holbrook another gig...i thought he was a bit hard done by to be punted at the Titans

NRL news 2024: PNG officials identify Maroons star to be face of franchise; Xavier Coates; Justin Olam

Not in this particular article above, but I have read that PNG, if they win the bid, will house players and other officials in a compound with armed security.

Only question I really have, is who wants to live like that? Especially so if I have a young family with small children. That is something that no amount of money could make me jump at.

Things could get interesting now that Brad Arthur is looking for a job ... He's shown he knows how to rebuild a club and be that could be of interest to a few clubs

Souths would have paid more.

“The live stream in question was part of a transparent one-hour interaction with one of our player’s followers on the evening before the club’s Round 11 match.
“As a club we remind those on social media that we take the defamatory statements some have made very seriously, and we are conducting a thorough investigation to identify the source(s) of several false accusations.
“Legal action will be pursued against those found responsible for spreading damaging and unsubstantiated claims.”

Cartwright is a loss, I wonder who we go after to replace him. Who has been responsible for Penrith's defense?

If we go penrith we might also need whoever is in charge of their supplement program as well...

Sounds a plan to me.

NRL chasing this inclusion in the comp is peak NRL stupidity.
