I personally don't expect Madge to make it easy for Mam to get back in the team once his suspension ends (especially if our halves are preforming and we're winning)
barring injury or suspension I expect he come back through the QLD cup. could take him a while to get back in the side ... of...
This is the comment from the Courier Mail on our offer to Hunt:
The Broncos’ offer is worth around $550,000 annually and that figure may not be sufficient for the NRL salary-cap team, who are monitoring the bids coming forward for Hunt.
NRL auditors have the power to place a nominal figure on...
The Storm are hardly the first club to re-sign one of their players for significantly less than a rival were offering.
we've got plenty of examples from our history of similar deals. (and i'm just talking from the NRL era when the salary cap was treated more seriously) ... hell, we've even got...
This was top notch clickbait from Badel.
he didn't name the interested clubs
he didn't quote Selwyn or his manager
he did quote Madge ... but about the possible Hunt signing
he rehashed a Madge quote from a week or two ago that talked about Cobbo's potential if he works hard
SHOOSH II
Which player from a rival club stunned Brisbane officials when he nominated his asking price to replace Ezra Mam in the event that the Broncos five-eighth receives a lengthy ban.
you really are as dumb as dog shit aren't you ... come to think of it, that is an insult to dog shit.
I've never once claimed that Billy Walters would be our starting hooker in perpetuity.
the comment you have quoted, is in regards to the 2026 season ... I've only ever predicted that Billy...
according to the article you can sort of do that for a player who is in the final year of their career.
this is what's said in the article:
Under NRL salary cap rules, in the final year of their career, a player can be paid off the salary cap as part of their transition into retirement.
It...
The Courier Mail article says that the Phins offer of a two year deal is worth $1.4 million ... while our offer of a two year deal is $1.1 million
so, Hunt would have to sacrafice $300k a season to come to us 🤔
Edit: the article also says that the Roosters have salary cap constraints and...
That's always been media speculation
Reynolds isn't injury prone. that's a fallacy. he averages over 20 games per year in his career. he has played less than 20 games in only 3 years out of a 13 year career
I don't think he'll care (I believe he has endorsed the chase for Hunt).
Let's just assume that Reynolds wants another year ... we should give it to him and run with a Hunt/Mozer hooker combination
That may not be 100% accurate ... At least for the late season games.
Because I'm pretty sure that they only schedule when games are played up until round 20.
The timeslot that games from round 20 on aren't scheduled until much later in the season when they have some idea how the ladder is...
I haven't watched it and don't plan to ...
But the reason Mam survived the sack and JAC didn't makes total sense.
JAC lied to the club, making Gould look like a fool publicly ... That's why he got fired, pretty much had nothing to do with the failed drug test.
We all hate the Storm ...
But we can't complain about the Storm getting one of their players cheaper, while happily accepting that we also got one of our guns significantly cheaper that what he would have got had he left us ... That would make us hypocrites. You're not a hypocrite are you...
They got a Broken down has-been who spends most of the season injured for 300k less than he could have gotten elsewhere.
we got a rising up-and-comer, who is already one of the best fullbacks in the game (and has only just scratched the surface of his potential) for 300k less than he would...
At this point I'm not shocked that we have one of the hardest "draws" ... Happens every bloody year.
P.s. Badel and News limited reporters disagree with then ranking you posted ... They say we've got a "Golden Draw"
Let's not forget Reece Walsh sacrificing $1.5 million + to sign long term with us.
I don't blame uto ... He's been on big money at the tigers for years and has never played a finals game ... Some players will sacrifice cash for a genuine shot at a premiership
I'm certainly not one to defend the Storm ... But when you're at that salary level and happy where you're living and working, then $300k a year might not be enough to cause you to uproot your life.
For example, Reece Walsh could have easily got another $300k a year to play at another club ...
I don't think there is a limit to how many train and trial players a team has.
As part of the affiliate deal, our feeder clubs are each permitted to send a certain number of players to train with the NRL team during the preseason ... And they get to pick who those players are.
