Yes and Tim Sheens told fans at the start of the season if they cant tackle they won't be in the team... Yeah good one Tim...
Drop everyone. Guarantee John Morris would be the only one to survive the chop.

Melbourne down 16-6 just over 20 minutes to go.

I'm sick of this, if we can't raise the salary cap, why not to what the AFL do in regards with 3rd party payments? That is, it is not part of the salary cap, so for example, so if Coke want to personally sponsor Greg Inglis to the tune of $400,000 a year then let them. By all means put it down and make sure it is all done properly and no loopholes, but we have to do something to stop players pissing off to the UK every five minutes.

Plus there is enough Kiwis and Australians in England in the first place, right? :p

My rant was NRL general wide. Alas my Burgey-like attempt to rant failed badly.
Nah, it's a fair point. The trouble is tho if the cap is removed the chances are the NRL will end up with an EPL scenario with the best players at the richest clubs and the same four or five teams finishing top five every season.

Shame when teams are broken up because of the cap tho, 2004 Bulldogs seemed to be v badly affected by it.

Decided that I'd put $1 on every outsider for the whole season as an experiment. Is proving to be a fruitful round.

Oh I would not want the cap removed though.
