    Big opportunity for kicks into the SE corner in the second half, make Q'ld look straight into the sun!

    For mine, that is more a criticism of the lack of anywhere for these guys to get competitive game time and real world practice. Poolman would almost be the poster child for an NRC, to sort out...

    Sure, that would be just four of them. But doesn't override all the fumbled basic skills, inaccuracies, poor kicks and panicked passes. ALL of them cost, not just any one. And all of them need to be...

    Cron should sit them down, make them go through the replay, and identify every instance where they had the ball and lost possession. Then make them identify why, and how many turnovers were genuinely...

    I imagine if the NRL wanted to buy his contract outright, including whatever the player reckons he would need to stay doing what he was doing, then RA would doubtless take it so long as they turned a...

    Have to agree Shasta, however they got there, $20M is a staggering amount of money and surely has to be too much to duck. If it actually eventuates, the court case is going to be fascinating, if...

    Equally though, the Rebels racked up something like $8M in debt while Mitchell owned them, then $13M while RA owned them, then another few million (largely pre-paid by RA) while Cox owned them...so...

    Keeps the travel down though, and I'm not sure guaranteeing the PI teams two semis is a bad thing either. I imagine most of the money will be seen in the finals series, and it justifies each team...

    The academy is great, but academy systems are inherently limited. Players need to play to improve, and young players need to play a lot. A huge amount of training and a few games here and there makes...
