I'm not really sure how that relates to the NRL's situation. The salary cap may or may not be too low, but what guys earn in those sports bears no relation to what can be afforded by NRL clubs.A good NBA, NFL, MLB or top player from EPL/La Liga/Serie A earns more in a week than a rugby league player does in a year. Even the AFL has a $7.95 million salary cap that is much more lenient than the NRL's.
Should be a massive crowd on Friday night at ANZ.Fantastic from the Titans tonight. So good to see Manly lose after leading well.
**** I hate that club. If they played Canterbury in a Grand FInal it's be like trying to choose between terminal cancer and ebola.
Not sure how to score you here Craig. I should have picked it up earlier, but you didn't actually tip the Raiders/Rabbits game.Funny how those run the competition also do the best :
Round 7
Friday April 23
Bulldogs vs Broncos
Cowboys vs Eels
Saturday April 24
Panthers vs Wests Tigers
Sharks vs Knights
Sunday April 25
Raiders vs Rabbitohs
Dragons vs Roosters
Storm vs Warriors
Monday April 26
Sea Eagles vs Titans
No worries mate.Give me five points then. Since I correctly tipped the Bulldogs, Eels, Panthers, Dragons, and Storm to win.
Tolman and Lima will be up for grabs, so if you don't get Hannant, then they would be two good grabs. As WRT to Folau, well I'm starting to see him as bit of a mercenary. Came up with the family reasons story so make his story look legit so he would go to Brisbane, but if Brisbane didn't offer him 400k a season, and say a Sydney club did, he would of signed for the Sydney club. GAGF.Looks like Brisbane are set to lose Israel Folau.
Can't say I am terribly disappointed. With Hodges coming back next year (the best centre in the game), I reckon Folau is a bit superfluous considering (a) he takes up $400 000 of our cap (b) he has hardly set the world alight since he's been here. I mean, how many of those tries from cross field bombs (that he used to score in his sleep for Melbourne) has he scored for us? About six, I reckon. Be good to use that money to get Hennant back, and some more grunt in the engine room.
