Meh.. After the way he played tonight I couldn't care less..smoked by the eels without Hayne.
To it was the perfect example of the score lines he it's going to get against him next year. Have fun at the Titans mate.
Let's look at a young gun and take a gamble instead

If that's the approach we want to take. Mitch Cornish would be top of the list.

I dont care that we didnt get him from our end. We put out a substantial offer, the largest in our history. I know each club gets allocations of cap money, so if the Titans contract was as it was before the NRL take over, and that there isnt a few 100k undeclared I couldnt care less where he went.

BUT i would lol if Manly woo him back by cut off.

I think the NRL have done this titans thing wrong, because it just reeks of a conflict of interest.

If Bird gets charged with supply/possession and fined etc and they dont sack him.......cant say he wasnt on his last legs before.
The NRL literally said a few weeks ago there was NO PLACE for drugs in this sport. Wonder how theyll treat their own.

Also I wonder if the nrl will persuade a few more stars to go to the gold coast. They'd be as aware as us that 1 player isn't going to get that shambles of a team near the finals so I expect more signings to follow.

I'd say it's a combo of wanting to be near family, and he's a money whore.

cant believe dosit was right. I don't wanna live on this planet anymore.

Oh well, was always too good to be true. You watch robson will get an extension. It's the cronulla lot in life.

As many superstars can go up there as much as the NRL cheats to get them there all they want. Maybe their 23 fans will show up now

I know that sentence makes no sense but I'm too angry to English right now.

It's ridiculous to sign with a club 12 months in advance. Not sure how to fix it but there had to be a better way

I can think of plenty.

1. Club transfers are either effective immediately (before june 30) or wait til after season transfer (after july 1)
2. Players can extend with current clubs at any time (1 year early, or 2)
3. Player isnt 'off contract' or free to negotiate until after june 30. That way they arent negotiating all year.
4. Once a player is signed they have a 30 day cooling off period before the contract is registered with the NRL. Not 3 months or any of that dumb ****
5. Current clubs get an instant cap discount (small percentage of contract ammount) every time a player re-signs) 5 grand for every 100k or something. a mil gets you 50k discount. then the standard veteran discounts etc on top

The NRL need to look at ways to not only keep players in the sport, but limit the constant player transfers, players seeking release etc.

Player release. = Cant earn over their current contract amount per season for the remainder of that contract period. Seek release 3 years early, you can only sign the same amount, if you do want to earn more, you pay a penalty fee.

The NRL want integrity but they talk about off field ****. Contracts and contract negotiations are the biggest farce in the sport.
