If they're going to start suspending people for half a season because of the "limp wristed legal response" then they going to be handing out quite a few half season suspensions.
I mean 2025 would start with 4 players missing the first half of the season to.date ... And since there is still over...
Not from the courts
E.g JAC got about a $650 fine
Trindalls fine was a few hundred more ... But in addition to drugs in his system, he was also 3 times over the alcohol limit
I'll certainly admit that the legal system is weak as piss. but i believe strongly that everyone should be treated equally under the law regardless of status. (so at least that happened in this case)
unfortunately as is always the case, they need to wait for a Bronco to be guilty for said...
He got a "real world" punishment.
So the question is do people want him to be treated like your average person before the courts ... Or do people want him to get special treatment.
Because he got treated like your average person in this case ... A harsher penalty would have been the special...
I'm not suggesting anything. i'm saying we don't know what he was offered by the Storm. all we do know is that the Storm bowed to his demand that a get-out clause be inserted into his new contract.
but let's look at this logically instead of hysterically.
The Knights offer was $650k per...
again i ask ... did he give up millions?
all that was reported is that he rejected the Knights $2.5 million over 4 years offer. the reporting doesn't say what his contract with the Storm is worth ... they don't even say if he signed with them for less.
Firstly how much did he re-sign for, I have only seen the Knights offer reported. Because that really is the key to determine if we should be outraged or not
Secondly, he did get the Storm to agree to include a get out clause in his contract ... Allowing him to leave if Hughes signs another...
This is all Riccio said about the delay:
It’s understood the NRL salary cap auditor benchmarked Hunt’s contract against other offers and considered key metrics, including his age - he turns 35 in March - before registering the Broncos deal.
again you prove you're dumber than dogshit.
literally the first thing I did when this was announced was complain about it.
there is plenty wrong with this move from the NRL ... you don't need to resort to making shit up
The SMH have put together a top 30 roster for the new PNG team.
They've based it on a $12.5 million salary cap
"we have recruited only from players coming off contract in 2027, and a few in 2026 after urging them to sign one-year deals and keep themselves available for us 12 months down the...
The question is were you a professional rugby league player when you were living there.
These guys are going to be treated by the PNG public, like the Indians treat their cricketers ... i.e. like gods.
I have zero doubt that they'll be perfectly safe over there. Besides the reporting is that...
I think Reynolds will retain the captaincy for 2025. Although, Madge may look to appoint his eventual successor as co-captain.
FWIW, nothing has changed my mind about who that successor should be ... It Patty by the length of the straight.
And with this one move, politics has officially entered another facet of our lives ... The NRL is now another political tool.
Hell, the press conference to announce their entry to the NRL was held by the Prime Minister's of both countries
The Cowboys reportedly refused to match the Roosters offer for Robson (at least duration wise), because they essentially have a Mozer of their own and they didn't want to put a roadblock in his way.
The Cowboys won't be coming for Mozer
