Both the Sharks vs Cowboys and Titans vs Raiders have been moved to Kograh Oval instead of being played on the Sunshine and Gold Coasts respectively

Look at the score lines from the first three games this round, so glad Vlandys has made all the pointless changes he has, the game is so much fun to watch now isn't it.

Vlandy's is a cancer on this sport ... he has massacred this sport so that it is no longer the sport we fell in love with

I’ve turned off all but three games in the last three weeks. The ratings must be plummeting. For me it’s not so much the floggings, it’s the obvious deliberately ignored penalties, teams not needing to get back 10 metres, slowing the play the ball down but not no being pulled up on it and then phantom 6 agains with no explanation. The game is a joke, no one is allowed to be questioned/ held accountable. The whole thing is obvious.

I’ve been reading a variation of this post for over a decade on this forum. I agree I don’t like the rule changes but the game will go on.

It's a product nowadays, not a sport.

Sad to see the way it's gone.

 

[Foordy]

Manly are apparently looking at bringing in Paul Green to help them fix the mess they're in

RIP tommy raudonikis.

Jake friend retires.

Jake friend retires.

Well there frees up $1.5 million for the Roosters. Grant and Staggs to the Roosters for 22?

 

[Morkel]

Jake friend retires.

Ooh, let's all take guesses on how much he was supposed to be on when the Roosters signed him, compared to how much it is now freeing up their salary cap.

De Belins retrial starts today.
Probably be a verdict in a couple of weeks.
If he gets off he may be available for rd 8 or 9 but the way st George are going they don’t really need him at the moment.

Where are the drag queens getting all their money from? new signing Macca, Bird, Alvaro, possibly now Moose, big money in Hunt, Norman, Lomax and still paying De Belin, Dufty price is going up, surely they have to be in some cap trouble next year.

Maybe but a lot of these players are on heavily subsidised deals from other clubs.

Sounded like SJ wasn't too happy about Morris being moved on from the Sharks. Might be looking for a new home?

Looks like Normans in his final year as well.

Is he being moved on for sure though? I thought it was all just speculation at this point.
