I've moved the NRL Draw to a separate thread: https://sharksforever.com/index.php?threads/2023-nrl-draw.212510/
Newcastle Knights CEO Philip Gardner says the NRL should consider awarding Magic Round hosting rights to the club in the future after it was overlooked for the event in 2023.
NRL could use Super Rugby-style bonus points system to crown pre-season champ
How do you decide the winner of a pre-season tournament when each team only plays two games? The NRL could look to a rival code for its answer.www.smh.com.au
You'd imagine Bennett is a massive Harry fan, too. Bitter sweet.In related news, because the Dolphins are playing at Suncorp, it meant they were not able to accommodate as many concerts as they had hoped, and Harry Styles was not able to play in Brisbane.
On behalf of the city of Brisbane I would like to extend my thanks to everyone at the Dolphins for making this happen.
That's a good way of determining in theoryI reckon whichever team recieves the spoon. misses Magic Round the year after .
Would add incentive to bottom dwellers and to their fans to aim up
Have it in another city IF all 3 QLD teams arn't good enough not to avoid the spoonThat's a good way of determining in theory
But they'd hate to potentially lose a Queensland team from a crowd perspective
Also causes a hassle if a team who was giving up a home game drops out, need to change that.
At the moment I believe the teams who gave up a home game (for cash) the first year are given opportunity to retain that option, or drop out of they wish. And most have been happy to keep collecting the money.
there's 4 Qld teams eggHave it in another city IF all 3 QLD teams arn't good enough not to avoid the spoon
Was talking near by .there's 4 Qld teams egg
Give him more money and he'll try harder.Brand Ponga wasn't enough to get Newy an invite to magic round?
He doesn't want to try hard, that was why he turned down DolphinsGive him more money and he'll try harder.
Cheers.Little summation from reddit on latest cap dealings. I haven't been able to read the full article so these are not my notes.
• The NRL has proposed a 2023 salary-cap figure of $12.5 million from $10.2m - an increase of 22.5 percent (avg. Wage growth for lay people was 2.7 percent);
• NRL players have been offered an extra $222 million over the next five years;
• NRL Women are set to celebrate record salaries as part of a $115m funding injection over the next five years;
• The NRLW salary cap is slated to rise from $350,000 to $800,000 next season - a whopping 146 per cent pay rise for females; and
• V’landys wants the minimum wage for NRL development players to be lifted from $80,000 this season to $125,000 next season - a 56 per cent increase for rookies.
Despite this being the largest pay rise on Rugby League history the RLPA has rejected it wanting more but haven't really said what they want apart from demanding to see NRLs books.
Yeah absolutely. There was a take during the week about it from Harry Grant where he said for a lot of guys on those lower tier contracts they are better off on the tools. The more guys who can afford to train and commit full-time will only help improve the quality of players.Cheers.
Bold part is a bit confusing. It’s players 27-30 who make $80k. Not dev players.
Pay rise for fringe players is great for Rugby League imo. Not everyone is a superstar. The more blokes who can make good money the better.
Yeah. Saw that from Grant. Hopefully he is legitimately sticking up for those guys rather than just trying to jack the number up. Usually when they raise the cap by $1m the top 5 blokes each get another $200k and the guys on minimum get sweet f-a.Yeah absolutely.

Yeah I had those same thoughts. There definitely has been a strong angle for the lower paid guys during these negotiations.Yeah. Saw that from Grant. Hopefully he is legitimately sticking up for those guys rather than just trying to jack the number up. Usually when they raise the cap by $1m the top 5 blokes each get another $200k and the guys ok minimum get sweet fa.
Well it's that lot holding it up now then.Little summation from reddit on latest cap dealings. I haven't been able to read the full article so these are not my notes.

Spewing if you were on the other minimum wage of 120 and now those guys are getting more than you....Cheers.

Accept it for 2022 and get out of the way, you can fight for even more for 2023.
