One of the most solid yet overrated players of the last decade.

Hey he earned those Man of the Match honours

The Peter Wallace of second rowers

 

[Foordy]

So give a like bitch.

happy now

 

[Sproj]

Maybe dogs are in cap trouble so he's walking away to give them some more cash before Nov 1 hits

That only happens at the Roosters and Titans.

 

[Sproj]

Also, I guess he gets player of the season by default.

Neck and neck between him and Billy Slater

"We shouldn’t be looking to ‘out’ people that then puts them in a position of significant shame and only piles on more issues when genuinely people can make mistakes"

Except the second time isn't a mistake, it's a pattern. The first time could be a mistake, and they already have what they want. there, low penalty, no public announcement, education.

Clint Newton = moron.

Far from a moron. Very clever and a nice man to boot.

I'm still going to put a sneaky fiver on Josh Jackson being MOTM in the first game of SOO 2023

In your opinion, which I agree you are entitled to have about the issue. I am just not sure calling him a moron is fair but it is a forum and I guess that is what people like to do here. I will say this, if you ever dealt with him I doubt you would hold the same view.

The Panthers have replaced Ciraldo and Webster with Peter Wallace and Ben Gardiner (from the Tigers)

Recent survey done that 1 in 4 NRL players are experiencing financial distress due to the increasing cost of living.

Something tells me the NRL needs to include financial planners in their education systems.

1 in 4 would be roughly the equivalent of minimum wagers no? It’s not that surprising.

Also survey done by who? If it was the players union then isn’t it their job to try and bump up what the players get?

the minimum wagers would still likely be on more money than the average Australian earns

the minimum wage for players 1-26 is $120k (dropped to $112k with the COVID paycuts) a year

the minimum wage for players 27-30 is $80k which would still be money than the average Australian earns

I know but I figure a lot of them hang out with a lot of the high paid dropkicks in their team and probably mimic their spending behaviour.

Bongo, if you can't see that what Newton said was inherently contradictory (and thus very stupid) there's really nothing left to say
