Nofa and Lodge to help the Storm and the Roosters make the 8. Should be a rule that you need to have their yearly salary free under the cap, not just the amount of months you get them for.

Not suggesting they get paid twice, rather that you can't parachute Matt Burton in for $150k, just in time for finals.

It's like giving your partner a hall pass then watching date on live TV.

Whole thing is ridiculous.

I'm OK with the Lodge one given he signed for next year as well.

I’m ok with Lodge as it isn’t a “loan” arrangement.
But I’m not a fan of the mid/late season loans.
If it is in the first qtr of the season (even 1st third) then ok as it might give someone a crack at playing NRL, but after that clubs should just have to roll with the punches (injuries) just like they have had to in the past.

I’m also thinking that “loaned players” should be from a pool that have had “limited” NRL experience in general.
Maybe can only take someone from a development list or less than a handful of NRL games (to be determined)???
At least that way you can’t get ring ins (like what the Storm tried to do in someone like JAC).

I reckon the Cowboys are happy the Broncos have signed Walsh from next season.
He was their Be-atch last night and with the sibling rivalry the Cows will continue to exploit that.
TBF to Walsh thou, he was no orphan in playing like dog **** last night.
