Don't you have to pay injured players salaries anyway?

I only just saw this, the promo for Indigenous Round.

This promo is

Well, this is interesting. An independent report that says expansion could “cannibalise” the three Qld clubs and “decimate” the Storm.

But aren't the storm based in Melbourne? That's weird............ great for the growth of the game they've been over 30 years...

Could've been good if they had Lara Pitt and got rid of Kent. Yvonne is too much of a suck arse to have interesting conversations.

It’ll be Kent’s job to disagree with her, so I may actually soften on the little ****

If they had to go with the diversity hire, why not find an ex or current female player. 360 is about a player and media personality discussing the game. Now its just media, I don't see it lasting. The obvious pick was Cronk for mine.

I see Sampson doing for 360 what Molan did for The Footy Show. I'm assuming Pitt wasn't keen or had a conflict of some sort?

It is funny that everything NRL related is always just so dumb. Pitt is sitting right there, she's popular, can hold her own and...they go with Sampson. Yay, we get to see more of her boring coverage.

I don't think Pitt has the same 'hosting' ability that Yvonne does. You need to be a very fluent speaker to host a show like that, which Pitt isn't. She's more of an off the cuff type of operator. It also makes sense to have a Queenslander in that position, the last thing that show needs is even more NSWelshmen.

Oh yeah because Vonnie is definitely going to fly the flag for QLD to oppose the southern bullshit from the likes of Kent and Hooper, rather than just sit there and let them talk over her.

Fox Sports: Luai ‘in the mix’ for Kangaroos as Meninga aims to get Samoa star to defect. https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/st...1/news-story/47a76d95314a23da0b71bd79f1406a2a

This is absolute rubbish by Meninga/Australia.

FFS you dumb *****, a strong international game is key to the games long term growth. Taking every good player for Australia is dumb as shit. Hopefully Luai rejects him.

As always I will cheer whoever plays against Australia for as long as the international game is rigged.
