Bleeding and swelling increases and puts pressure. Add the g force of the hit, he will have a few damaged blood vessels in there causing more pressure.
Ouch.
This will be 40+. Walters and Mam asleep at the wheel in defence.
Cobbo is looking good at fullback though!
Worried about Walsh having a fractured orbital. Looked brutal.
The salary cap is a different argument, that's the terms of trade and agreement between all clubs. Hence the RLPA. There is no rule for a TPJ situation. There is nothing for the NRL to enforce. The only rule they have is public relations and image. Given their handling of Latrell, i don't see...
Lodge's salary avg carried through from club to club. Had he walked away and taken time away properly, i don't think it would have been an issue.
Call me naive but i don't see how the NRL enforce a value on TPJ after he played crap, took a dump on League in whole and went awol. Its all kinds...
I agree the previous TPJ was not great and he is yet to show a different version.
However, what is the harm on low contract dollars to fill the top 30? There isn't enough age and physically mature back rowers in the ranks. If he does the job, so be it. If he shits the bed, he doesn't get onto...
He has the talent, skills and game reading ability to do so. Game management not quite yet, but i can see him surpassing Lockyer later in his career.
The ultimate question looms, does he have a future in the next few years there? Players like Sailor, Arthars and Mariner could play FB well...
He had a really good game. Big improvement and i think played better than the trials. I didn't think he would pick it up so quick based on recent form. Egg on face here.
He was trying to compensate and trying too hard. Mam is off the boil at the moment. Even in Vegas Mam had a shocker, its evident in the attack he is missing.
The Good:
Cobbo, has learnt from last match and had a great game. Kudos to him. I had doubts he would learn quickly.
Baker, solid role - did what was needed. Good value.
Carrigan, machine like normal.
Arthars, clinical and simple.
Mariner, bright future for this man.
The bad:
Marty needs to...
Doesn't make it right.
The game has an impact on society and must set a clear example, above the standard of society. That's why NRL players are role models and have an impact on children.
If little John playing under 10's hears that a player he likes called someone a monkey - he's likely to...
