NRL General Discussion Thread - 2016

The Mole reported a player went on a massive bender over the weekend. Probably is Idris given the timing.

I thought it may have something to do with his Mum.

Have heard she is ill & that's the reason he left the Titans to be closer to her.

Yep knew about that on Saturday.

 

[broncos4life]

Do you guys think this will be a huge blow for the eels?

I do... Peats has been doing good stuff for them, and I don't think they have even a reasonable backup for him.

 

[Alec]

One of their biggest problems has been the lack of a decent hooker in recent times. They'll definitely struggle.

 

[Unbreakable]

Poor Eels, just when they get a good spine, they lose the second most crucial part of it.. another bottom 4 finish for them I'd say.

 

[Alec]

I wouldn't go as far as calling it a good spine. Hayne is deadly, Peats is pretty good, but Norman and Sandow are mediocre.

You aren't very good at it.

So, Mitch Rein lifts a player and puts him on his head and cops 1 week. And yet Reynolds gets nothing...

Anyway, here is some news on Sandor Earl.

Out of interest in relation to the round 13 rule, are contracts affected (so players can't backflip) at the kick off of round 13 or the completion of round 13?
