Advantages the broncos have that other clubs don't have. - Almost every week Friday night free to air exposure = more fans more money etc etc. - One team in a rugby league city. - Pick of the juniors from that one city. - They are owned by the same company that owns the courier mail. - They...

Its not that interesting its called third party agreements, pretty much well accepted in the RL community and I thought on this board that players earn a lot more then what there club is paying them through TPAs. Just like old Lockyer who was 250k, he was probably on 600-1m by the end and the...

Lol you are probably right, but lets be honest if he leaves its also because of the cash.

As a raiders fan. I would prefer to see him poached from QLD. Then I would like to watch:- - Andrew Gee try and conduct a homesickness scheme to get him at the broncos in 2014, only to watch it fail and see the funny stuff that gets written on here and the courier mail about it. - Then watch...

LOL if the broncos don't like the round 13 rule they could always wait until after round 13 to officially sign players.

What I said is being taken a bit to far. I never mentioned nikorima. All I was referring to is that a complaint that the raiders didn't offer milf enough in the first instance thereby fracturing any goodwill he had with the raiders is weaker then a complaint about the broncos not chasing him...

On the same token milford would also ask himself why the broncos didn't want a bar of him when he was kid believing he was to small, and his talent didn't offset that size issue when he was a kid. If you are inferring that the raiders are to hard ball with their negotiations re player salaries...

lol the nrl is an x factor competition. My point remains. Perhaps I should exaggerate it so it is clear for you. If you had 13 barbas or milfords on the same team that team would battle. You need balance across the park.

tbh im not sure that it works well having two light footed players on the same team. For one, you can only have one fullback and secondly their is only so many times a player can go for a dance before it ruins momentum. IMO reece robinson who was a weapon before milf debuted has hardly been...

we (canberra) have a problem regardless of whether he shows or not. ftr I dont think there is to much of a difference between the behaviour of hoffman and milford in respect of the professinalism they are displaying.

I think we are arguing over the semantics of the word "activated". If the circumstances are such that one can use a clause ala ricky stuart and one activates thats clause they are free to sign with another club. If the circumstances in milfords are such were he can legitimately activate the...

OK in your little scenario does milford just think he has a clause or does he actually have one, because if he did have a clause wouldn't the lawyer say you have a clause you have every right to leave dont worry about the raiders? The logic in your "opinion" is more on the side of fairytale...

who knows what clauses hoffman has in his contract, obviously nothing he can use, but he may have a coach clause, some sort of injury clause and some sort of rep bonuses clause, or even a clause if he is not picked in firsts for ceertain amount of games he is healthy he can terminate. Who...

true, although its still a massive advantage over all other non sydney teams. And compared to auckland NQ, canberra, and melbourne, you usually have a gc away game which isnt really travelling.

so orford and milford are apples and apples but milford and hoffman are apples and oranges? that'll do me.

My point is quite simple. Considering the broncos position with hoffman, they can hardly complain about canberras position with milford. Which broncos fans like Thadius are doing. I am not holier then though, I am just sitting in my glass house telling the other people (broncos fans) to stop...

Lol, matt orford wasnt wanted anymore by bradford, but being broke as shit and on its way to administration it wanted some cash so it held it up to get some cash by way of a transfer fee from canberra. But keep on dreaming. If you want a comparison lets use hoffman. Hoffman doesnt want to be...

From a raiders fans perspective. 2006 was a farce, the ref was generous in the gf and the terrible finals system allowed the broncos to be their in the first place. The only thing somewhat redeeming about it was melbourne was probably cheating the salary cap at the time? IMO the tigers run was...

Lol. lol. ok now that it's out of my system. canberra times are owned by Fairfax. Fairfax has no ownership and pretty much nothing to do with the raiders. courier mail are owned by news limited. Brisbane broncos are owned by news limited. News limited have a direct financial interest in the...
