Trent Merrin has retire effective immediately

Also refused to take a cent leaving hook with 350k to play with. Milf at 350k has a good ring to it hook.

How does Mole get 350K? We’re halfway through the season, was Merrin really on 700K?

6 rounds.

 

[Foordy]

6 rounds.

their contracts start on November 1 though.

halfway through the contract year would have been a better way to put it

what's with everyone from Bennett to the entire rugby league media whinging about how unfair it was for Latrell Mitchell to get suspended for 4 weeks ... you never hear a peep when TPJ gets rubbed out for 6 games for breathing near an opponent.

for a start he gets 4 weeks because he tried to challenge it (he would have gotten 3 weeks otherwise), so that's on him and Souths for thinking the judiciary would ignore what he did.

secondly even if the 3-4 weeks for this particular offence is excessive, he was charged for three different incidents in this match, one of which was lashing out with his boot nearly kicking a Tigers player in the face ... 4 weeks is exactly what he deserves for everything he did in this match

 

[Renegade]

yeah, the argument that he hardly even touched him with the kick is ridiculous. it's the intent you morons.

 

[Harry Sack]

Wasn't the main issue his previous loading? Otherwise it was a 2 week suspension?

I'd be surprised if Croft was over 500pa . I'd think 400k would be tops.

Watching 360 the other night and heard the drunk saying he didn't believe Mitchell was a dirty player and 'he's not that type' ! Appears no one saw his punch in the back of the head some time ago.

 

[BroncsFan]

I suppose their game was after Munster's so they may have used it as inspiration

 

[Morkel]

@Kimlo, I just noticed that the player stats for each game on nrl.com has a column for interchange, specifically for how long each player was on for each stint. That looks to me like exactly what we need to see if there is a correlation between HIA's and them conveniently being towards the end of their normal stint minutes.

when did Pearce win one?

 

[Big Pete]

when did Pearce win one?

2013.

He largely did the long distance kicking while Maloney and SBW created opportunities.
