NRL General Discussion Thread

[Foordy]

According to the Daily Telegraph, the 2020 Grand Final will be staying in Sydney, to be played at the SCG while ANZ is being redeveloped.

God the NRL are ****s.

If that is true then what a fucking missed opportunity, the NRL really do their best to shit on itself when opportunities arise to advance the game.

The NRL continue to strike with the full force of their mediocrity

SOmeone on another forum made a good point about the Roosters. If they aren't over the cap, then the cap is flawed where you can sign so many top tier players and still maintain the rest of your squad. Might as well get rid of it altogether, since it's not working as it was intended to.

But they got rid of Sonny Bill, where the **** have you been???

The NSWRL would rather Rugby League die out than let anyone else wrestle control out of their hands.

The Queensland Rugby League (QRL) has today announced the appointment of Ben Ikin as an Independent Director.
Ikin replaces former Queensland treasurer and deputy premier Terry Mackenroth, who served on the QRL Board for 11 years.
Among his many achievements, Mackenroth was instrumental in the establishment of the Australian Rugby League Commission in 2012.
A Fox Sports presenter, Ikin is one of the most respected voices in the game.
He played 150 NRL matches for three clubs and represented the Maroons and Kangaroos in a professional career that spanned 10 seasons.

Brenton Lawrence has announced his retirement after only signing a 2 year contract with the Titans a couple of months ago.

Really unlucky with injuries throughout his career, I reckon he would've played Origin for a couple of years at his peak if he could've stayed fit.

Wow! So because it is November, does that mean the Titans have to cover his wage in their cap?

So did Smith receive a good old Aussie tradition of being kicked in the bum?

Good, contracts these days mean nothing anyway, why have a cooling off period on them.

Brennan bringing in Matty Johns to mentor Ash Taylor.

Good move by him. Ash could use a good mentor to help take his game to the next level and the John's brothers are quite good at that.

For QLD's sake, I hope he goes to another level next season, but it's likely going to take some time.

This is Sam Kasiano.. Unbelievable.
