Bailey Simonsson also to the Eels

Fox Sports say he has inked a 3 year deal starting in 2022 with the Raiders paying some of his wage in 2022 and 2023

DT say that the Raiders, Eels and Bulldogs are at the negotiating table that would see Simonsson move to the Eels, Cotric to the Raiders and the Bulldogs to free up some cap space

Yeah nice, Ponga will look real good in the blue and white
 
so it's now official.

Cotric has been released from the final 2 years of his Bulldogs contract to take up a 3 year deal back at the Raiders.

I haven't seen anything regarding how much of his contract the Bulldogs will be paying for the next 2 seasons

Was talking to my mate who is a doggies fan and he mentioned $50k a season for the next 2 years which I though if true is a pretty good deal.

if that's true then the Raiders are fools ... because there is no way Cotric is worth $600k a season out of the Raiders cap
 
Corey Norman retires from NRL, I thought he already had about 2 years ago.

Another wasted career.

He showed in 2010 and 2012 that he had talent. But he never had the mental requirements to be able to play like that consistently year after year and building on that.

He would have been a very good 5/8 if he did. But he was too much of a lazy ****.

Still one of the best debuts of all time.
 
Unless Norman is flat broke, I can't see how a player wasted their career after playing the game professionally for 11 years. Especially when they're paid extremely good money for doing so.

Norman won't be remembered as one of the great halves of his generation, but it wasn't fair to have those expectations in the first place.

He was always an enigmatic player with an odd running style that troubled the defence without necessarily being effective. Norman was great at making these half-breaks that would skittle the defence but made it difficult to link up with his support so a lot of promising plays would end there.

By the same token, there were times where Norman could land an inch perfect kick in heavy traffic or time a pass perfectly. He was a great highlights player and if you compiled all those moments it would make for a great package.

I'm glad you brought up his debut @theshed. I remember that like it was yesterday and being really thankful that Henjak was willing to take that risk to find somebody who played like Karmichael. It was extremely risky since Norman was still finding his feet at NYC and was only just starting to find success there but he shocked everybody that night. Of course it came out pretty quickly he wasn't really a natural fullback but for that brief occasion it was exciting to watch.
 
James Roberts has been handed a new deal with the Tigpies
I hope he has a good year.

I feel like there are less genuine entertaining players in the game atm that you would pay money to see them play. At his best he is great to watch
 
John Asiata has decided against a career in construction. He has instead signed with English Championship side Leigh Centurions for the 2022 season

Is he even allowed to fly there?

no idea what the UK rules are ... but he will certainly struggle to get back into Australia should he eventually want to return
