that Cleary, Tackle was a trip every day of the week. Anyone with a set of eyes could see he wrapped his legs around Walters's leg to entangle it and that by definition is a trip.

And the problem comes in when players take unders to stay at (or go to) successful and/or well-run teams - like Coates taking less money to go to the Storm. By definition, then, the salary cap is NOT working as intended, as it is not levelling the playing field at all, there is still an imbalance.

Is it better than an unmitigated free-for-all? Of course. But it's not a good long-term solution because it is still leading to entrenched 'winners' and 'losers'. Compare and contrast the Storm with the Tigers and tell me the cap is working just fine (I know there's many other factors at play in that comparison but it does illustrate the point).

---

But you also need to consider that the Tigers had Tedesco, Moses and Woods on the books. More salary cap relief may have enabled them to be kept. Not to mention they’ve let players including Papenhuyzen and Fifita leave over the years due to salary cap pressures.

Didn't realise Tedesco was only 29, he's fallen off hard. Shouldn't be first choice fb for NSW or Australia anymore.

Oh absolutely, this just illustrates my point that it's not working.

You could make an entire team from ex-Broncos players who are playing for other teams, which would rival (or beat) the current squad. Well, in fairness Griffin is trying to do this at the Dragons...

Not sure that your definition is correct in footie terms where a trip occurs when the defender uses only his leg/foot and is hands off!

Do the rules state that a trip only involves the leg/foot. In judo, you have plenty of trips that involve holds as well as sweeping the legs. Either way, there's no need for it and by classifying it as a trip you remove it from the game.

It’s not the leagues fault none of your guys want to stay at your club.

The Warriors have been diabolical throughout its history, and I could be wrong, but I don’t recall any of our guys jumping ship to a contender for less pay…

SJ maybe? Charnz and Papalii? Although I’m not sure how much they were on, and they were hardly wanted by the club at that point

Excellent start, both teams running hard and defending assertively, hopefully they keep it up, that would see an outstanding game.

Good to see Herbert's passing is still spot on

[BroncosFever]

Shane Flanagan: he’s an NRL player

Thanks Shane, what else you got?

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Anyone still missing Isaako?

 

[Wolfie]

Isaako actually did well to get his body in the way to slow him down then so Brimson could get underneath him.

 

[Wolfie]

Titans look horrible on their left side.

 

[Kimlo]

I love that Isaako has basically transferred the Broncos form to the Titans since going there.

Just goes to show sometimes it's not the club that's the problem. Sometimes it's just the player.
