I'd happily give up going after Inglis based on his woman bashing allegations. Great football player, but their more to being good on the field in our game.

I'd rather see us develop a fullback from one of our young guys.

Cronk OR Smith. I see no need to get two or three players from Melbourne just for the hell of it.
 
Inglis was found not guilty so can people please refrain from throwing around accusations and assumptions.

Beads - please edit your post accordingly or I will do it for you.

Edit: Thanks Beads.
 
Hmmm...just like Bird was found "not guilty" eh?

Yep, exactly like that. You don't have to believe it but we can't have people going around calling them woman bashers when it has been legally determined that they are not.

The way I see it, you can refer to the allegations and how they make you feel about a player (which is why I retracted my request for Nashy to edit his post) but you can't make a statement of fact about their identity.

Also revealed on Insight was news that Melbourne Storm has breached the salary cap by 1.3 million dollars for the 2010 season, almost twice as much as first announced by the NRL.

Steve Burraston, Newcastle Knights Chief Executive, confirmed that the Storm's breach this year is far more than first thought.

"We're now talking a number I understand that's growing. And for 2010, it's $1.3 million or more," Burraston told Insight.

The Knights CEO confirmed that he learned of the Storm's additional salary cap breach at Tuesday's meeting of NRL club CEOs.

Did you see Jason Taylor open his mouth, let some bad, bad words out and then try to reel them back in, whilst Peter Holmes-a-Court was staring absolute daggers at him. Brilliant tellie.

it just makes the Storm as a club even worse IMO. CHEAT CHEAT CHEAT
 
Melbourne Storm may have to operate a salary cap $600,000 below their NRL rivals.

Slashed to $3.5 million during the next few years, it would be the tightest cap of any club in the NRL competition.

Melbourne spent $5 million on its 2010 playing roster - $900,000 above the NRL's $4.1 million salary cap.

Aside from shedding up to three players to reduce the amount of their rorting, Melbourne will be forced to absorb the difference in contract payments for players who leave.

So they have to shed nearly 1.5mil.
 
great comment:

Again with the “English Premier League” rubbish. Its total and utter bollocks. 1. They have a first past the post system so if you buy the best players on average you will win - we have a semi-final system that adds a whole new level of risk to the “lets buy the best team” strategy. Remember 1981 - when Newtown, a team of no names and has beens that were about to go broke knocked Manly out? 2. Our League has less games and is far more dangerous to the players so if you run a marquee player strategy than you run the risk of them being injured - and you have nothing. Look at the Cowboys.

The Cap is socialist nonsense that is propping up disfunctional clubs at the expense of growth areas and driving away players and potential sponsors. “Equalisation” is a recipie for low-rent mediocrity. For a start the League should simply tender the responsibility of representing an area out, with milestones to be met such as junior development. By all means grandfather existing clubs in but after a while no more favours.

“The Australian Rugby League desires to establish teams in North-West and South West Sydney, the Central Coast, Central Queensland and Perth. We invite expressions of interest. The successful tenderer will receive a minimum payment from the League over a four year period, will be expected to demonstrate certain capablities and will be expected to achieve certain milestones. Existing clubs are encouraged to apply”
Get rid of the stifling cap and let the game run free.

Wasn't 100% sure which thread this belonged in - but as it was mostly promoted by the Storm saga, here is as good as any.

Peter Holmes a Court usually speaks a lot of sense and I once again agree he is pretty spot on here:

I started a thread called Salary Cap about 7-8 threads down. But there are salary cap discussions going on in every second thread all over the board so you could have picked one at random.
 
Yeah I pretty much did - the first one on the list LOL
 
And like in all the threads.

There are too many teams who are broke that the NRL is paying. Kick the useless pricks out.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - how's losing while well over the cap? Eat it dirty cheaters!
