We have 2 Derbys @ kogarah.

Which one is our home game, or are we splitting the gates for all Derbys?

You’re a good egg Cap

 

[Addy]

Lol

 

[Gards]

But the NRL hates us....

you're right they do - didn't give us a single game at Shark Park

Happy birthday sweetie. Don't say I never get you anything.

 

[bort]

Hows the favouritism for the Broncs, nearly every game a FTA and not a single match up against a team that finished below them in 2020 season!

Any time coach.

Except before midday.

The Australian Rugby League Commission will consider permanently changing the game's age policy after deciding whether teenage superstar Joseph Suaalii should be allowed to play in the NRL at 17 based on "exceptional circumstances".

The Roosters have yet to approach the Commission to seek an exemption to allow their star recruit to play next year, but NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo said the league would be willing to "make an exception to the rule" due to the "exceptional" talent at hand.

The ****ers didn't let us play Xerri at 17 who was physically more mature than Suaalii.

Round 1 is Dragons Home Game.

Told ya the NRL hate us.

Anyway, this rule isn’t even that old.

Why introduce it and then wind it back?

“Special circumstances” from the NRL are stupid. Any kid that can play NRL is going to be good. I doubt many 55 kg 17 year olds are going to end up playing first grade. Coaches aren’t going to put weaklings out there for the fun of it.

because he was on roids geezer

Wich would have gotten him caught for drug use a year earlier... meaning we would have kept Morris! Bastards!

And the NRL knew that when they refused him, did they?

 

[Western Sharkie]

Not as big as story if they nabbed him early.
"Wait until he plays NRL and shows his has a big future, then come down hard and crash him and his team when the future looks bright".

Yep, sounds like what the NRL would do to clubs they don't want or like!

Worth remembering that Wade Graham says he wasn’t physically ready when he started and it took a toll on him

Wade started out at 6 didn't he?
So would have been targeted a lot more by the attack, forcing him to do more in D against bigger blokes.
Xerri is on the edge so may or may not have had the same workload.
But I do get your very valid point.

Nah he would have been in his late teens
