What a fall from grace for him, no offers at all. Wonder how his old man is travelling lolz.

I'd like to thank Des again though for handing us Ennis on a platter.

 

[slide rule]

I wouldn't be get rid of any teams.

A bit of fine tuning wouldn't hurt though.

Move Tigers to Campbelltown full time. Play and train there. Maybe a couple of games a year at the new Parramatta Stadium.

Same with the Dragons to Wollongong. 2 games a year at Kogarah.

Yeah that's the way it should be, if anything.

Except the NRL were trying to move everyone into the same two stadiums so that the Government would do them up.

Actually, removing a Sydney team or two would throw that out. Not that it matters once they are built I suppose.

It's pretty funny. I reckon he'll get something eventually though.

They seem to think less Sydney teams will mean bigger crowds. It won't.

Creating a fair and equitable draw would be a nightmare if they only have 2 Sydney venues every weekend.
I can see a lot of 5 day turn arounds throughout the season.

Wait, WTF am I thinking. The NRL isn't fair and equitable!
2 venues is perfect then!

The AFL can do it in Melbourne without 5 day turnarounds so there's no reason.............

Actually forget that, forgot we're talking about the NRL.

With the NRL officially unveiling the final six rounds of the season on Monday, Brisbane boss Paul White isn't too happy with what many see as another favourable draw for his club.

The Broncos have been drawn to play five of their last six games on either a Thursday or Friday night with White disappointed with the NRL over a continued lack of home Sunday matches.

While prone to the favourable Friday night fixture, Brisbane have become strangers to a Sunday game with the club frustrated about being denied a more diverse draw.

"Am I disappointed we are under-represented in Sunday afternoon football? Yes I am," White said at a presser conference.

"I do want to let our members know that we fight very hard for diversity in the draw."

As it stands, the Broncos won't play a single Sunday game this season and having only played one away game on the day last season.

there is literally no nrl club that needs him

 

[puma1355]

agree - oh well he made 900k in 3 years - back to school buddy or hop on a plane to the UK or France

 

[snowman]

er, no

You would think he would go off to the super league. Would probably be the best thing for his career. Leave his dad at home, who seems to be a problem everywhere. I also think he is slow and terrible in attack which I think the superleague would help him improve this aspect of his game.

most superleague games are quicker than nrl games so he will struggle with the pace there as well

I know they are quicker. which is my point exactly. he would have to work on speed and fitness to keep up which is exactly what he needs. (other than a turkey slap across the face)

 

[Bundy Shark]

Anyone good at finding stats, the argument or people that are pro Liicha say it's the style he's been asked to play (make tackles) which limit his input with attack, that plus Hasler getting him to shovel & pass.

Regardless, hindsight is wonderful, for Liicha, it's looking close to career suicide that he took up the Dogs offer & for the Sharks it was downright brilliant, we got the Menace & within 2 years we won the comp.

WOW , Lewis said on NRL 360 that at our captains run the day before the Grand final the team was absolutely atrocious .
Every time they tried an exercise they'd stuff it up .
When they said OK this time lets get it right , they'd stuff it up yet again , numerous times .
Decided to wrap the session up and hit/catch tennis balls and instead .
Next day , everyone was cool as cucumbers on the team bus and ended up playing to their very best of their ability , mistake free footy .
Go figure .
