Last year I watched it at a bar by myself with a bunch of Thai girls who were more interested in telling me how handsome I was. No they weren't ladyboys and no I didn't get a happy ending, that time.

is that why you relocated your svrl team over there. you enjoyed the ladyboys that much you thought your players should as well?

To be honest, I needed a team of 30 footy players to hold them back. They were bloody strong. Mitchell Pearce would have had a ball over there with all the stray dogs though.

I hear they are just that damn good.

Looks like the Cows are going to take the 9's seriously as well.
Good. I can't wait for the footy.

Seriously remains to be seen. Clubs and players are given serious cash for appearing to make sure that some players are there. They only have to play one half of football too to collect.

Isn't the rule only that they have 1 top 5 paid player, and 5 from the top 25 or something to collect the cash?

its one from the top 5 and 12 out of your 25 contracted players. Although, I seriously doubt that these rules are even enforced these days with some teams that are named

I am not talking about rules or prize money but inducements to clubs and players to make sure they bring certain players.

The main problem is for us Telstra mobile folk. Our subscriptions expire today and there isn't yet a 2017 digital pass available.

I'm hoping they roll the new kit out tomorrow. It does look to be officially on offer this year as per the following links:

​

Digital pass is available now.

You can get it through the NRL app this time.

I think part of the reason why the Broncos sign Marshall was just to play him in the Auckland Nines. LOL

Rothfield today claiming some players are given $40,000-$70,000 just to play as little as a half.

It's more than that and you're four days behind.

Gotta give him time to shake off the hangover and hide the empties.

Well Boyd certainly carried our team through the series. And Kahu was excellent at finishing it all off. It was a little concerning that Blair was our most creative looking player but it's just the 9's... on the flip side thats great for Blair, he looks like he is only getting better.

I was super impressed with Love-Henry. I hardly knew who he was before this.

Cronin was another one i didn't know that did alot of good things.

Su'a is going to be an excellent long term prospect. Lavea and Barr had a few good touches too.

Pretty disappointed we didnt see more of Benji. Hopefully he gets a good run in the WCC.
