Tigers will have to pay 50% of his contract... that's about the going rate for Souths to pick up other teams castaways.
I was thinking Luai to have a gap year back in Penrith

I feel like the above over qualifies me for rugba leeg journalism rather than sports admin... although we have been watching the trainwreck that is broncos R&R for the last 20 odd years.. so maybe it's over qualification for that job as well

“The Broncos were a manufactured expansion side, but we are the first grassroots side to ascend to the NRL and I think a lot of people when they hear that will think ‘actually you’re right, that is our team’, if they’re not already a Broncos fan.”
I thought BHQ had some lousy trolls. Terry may have taken the cake.

Yes the heartland with all those homegrown players like ... ahhh... Fuller I guess??
They've got NSW'men though (Isaiya Katoa, Bostock, Donoghoe, Ray Stone, Jake Averillo) and former broncos (Isaako, Herbie, Cobbo, Nikorima, Flegler, Plath, Molo)
NSWRL will be happy

I'm pretty sure the Warriors don't go by NZ or Auckland anymore, they use a sponsor.
they were the Vodaphone Warriors ... now they are the One.NZ Warriors
