[Confirmed] Russell Packer -->Not the Broncos

[broncos4life]

Wow, I was one of the people not against Packer getting a second chance, but fucking hell, a million dollar offer while he's still in jail? That's a joke. I now hope the NRL refuse his registration. It's one thing to work your way back in, but to immediately get a big money contract offer while still in jail is just wrong.

Yep, I agree with this

It's ironic how the NRL dumps Carney for simply making a dick of himself whilst they give the green light to a convicted dangerous criminal who stomped on an unconscious man's head.

Has the NRL actually approved or denied anything yet? As far as I know the process is that the club must agree to terms with the player, the contract is submitted to the NRL and at that stage it is approved or denied. Or something very close to that anyway.

Maybe jail = a secret training facility for NRL players? I hope they taught him potty training.

Did wonders for Manu Ma'u. Dude is vicious. Had the crazy eyes on when Parra played us at Suncorp this year. Ripped in for every carry the whole game

In saying that, Ma'u did his time and was even denied entry to the country before allowing to come back via NSW cup etc. And it helped he was an unknown at the time. I think a big problem with Packer is he's seemingly getting to waltz straight back into first grade on upwards of a few hundred grand a year.

Yep. I have no issue with him playing NRL (although I don't want him at the Broncos) but I have a real issue with him walking back into the NRL on a very lucrative contract.
