I thought Soward had been retired a while

The 56-10 loss to the Tigers takes the cake for me. I was at that game. It was probably the worst performance by any team I have ever seen live.

1. Nathan Stapleton
2. Misi Taulapapa
3. Ben Pomeroy
4. Mitch Brown
5. Luke Covell
6. Matthew Wright
7. Scott Porter
8. Kade Snowden
9. Corey Hughes
10. Luke Douglas
11. Jack Afamasaga
12. Grant Millington
13. Paul Gallen
-
14. Ian Donnelly
15. Tim Weyman
16. Anthony Tupou
17. Lancen Joudo

that team is a ****ing joke.

IF true which club ? Penrith ? , Titans? Manly ?


One club has got itself in such a financial mess with the salary cap that it's hard to see how they could possibly sign another player before the 2016 season starts.

In fact, they will be busy offloading players.

Their plight is the talk of player agents and CEOs throughout the game and is a real worry for the club and the NRL.

It will all come out in the wash very soon but player managers are steering their clients well clear of the joint for now.

Penriff ????

Jamie Soward just announced his retirement.

who's the quickest over the 40 now?

 

[stormshark]

Penriff ????

That's who I first thought

Its hard to believe that Gus could get his sums that wrong.

I think a desperate Barrett might be the answer , particularly factoring in DCE.

 

[Tatus]

My guess is Nth QLD. The 4mil a year they pay Thurston must be breaking the bank

 

[Tank]

Knights. Sio demanded big bucks!!!

2016. There has never been a year like it for the underdog. It continues. Leicester. Brexit, Bulldogs, Sharks, Cubs and now.....Trump!

Reckon we will never see another year like it for decades.

Thursday March 2 playing donkeys at home... Nearly time for a offical game thread. 9 days after playing over in England, hope we are home round 2 long weekend in Melb like going up to shark territory.

This is why I don't like the WCC concept. We'll be in then north of England for probably a week in winter, then home 9 days later playing in possibly humid conditions.
