Shoe Dropped?
I agree with you in terms of termination for breach where a player doesn’t turn up to training or game day, or if they turned up under the influence (they’d probably need to be given a warning or two). But unprofessionally overweight, without an objective KPI, I’m not so sure since it’s...- Ranga

Shoe Dropped?
Interesting comment from Mestrov that Schuster’s contract is not in jeopardy at this point. Suggests there might be a termination clause for failure to meet certain KPIs.- Ranga

Sadly .. The post of the year.
Life’s short and sport is to be enjoyed. Honestly, I don’t know why some on here get so worked up and seem hell bent on making things personal (against players and others at the club, officials as well as fellow posters). Perhaps it is because of other things going on in their lives that the...- Ranga

Was that a Dangerous tackle ?
If a kicker gets touched while in the air, it’s a penalty. Doesn’t matter if they are a metre or 1 c/m in the air, they are deemed to be in a vulnerable position. It’s an appropriate rule in my view. But somehow you can attack the legs of a player in Garrick’s situation, have him fall from a...- Ranga

Seibs Going Right Off at Presser.
I think he saves his blow ups for the players behind closed doors. He said in the presser that ‘it’s not his go’ to launch publicly, but he clearly has it in him. I know we leaked 29 points tonight, and 24 last week. But for the first time in a long time, and against quality opposition and...- Ranga

The Ashes, 2023.
I say this somewhat sheepishly, but I am a huge Broad fan. People talk about Anderson being England’s best quick, but I have Broad a fair way ahead of Anderson. Anderson has been ultra consistent, but Broad has X factor and that little bit of sh.. in him that I love- Ranga

The Ashes, 2023.
I was feeling a little sorry for England as they clearly were dominating the game. But then Broad, Stokes and others started to talk - I’ve rarely heard such entitled hogwash from a team. To be fair, I’ve really enjoyed the series, and the English team play a fun brand of cricket to watch, but...- Ranga

What's a pack cost or worth$
Grant at $570k is a steal! Surprised to see the Rabbits with the most expensive pack and Broncos with the cheapest.- Ranga

What's worth streaming on TV.
New series of The Lincoln Lawyer (part 1) and Jack Ryan are out now. I enjoy both. Also watched the first season of Mr Mercedes which was good. I stopped watching the second series to watch the above shows but will get back into it at some point.- Ranga

Salary cap? What salary cap?
If it’s a gift, no doubt it’s part of the cap. If the player has to part with cash in exchange for equity, and the equity is valued at fair value, then there’s an argument that it should be outside of the cap. Where the argument falls down is that the investment is only available to players...- Ranga

I wish him well, but Parra were down on troops and played terribly. I will wait and reserve judgment before I lament this one- Ranga

Player agents
So how many players with one manager (or management group) is too many? Personally think it is way more nuanced than the number of players. Contract duration, alignment of contract end date, and aggregate value of players with the one manager are probably more important. I see no issue with...- Ranga

The Ashes, 2023.
Totally agree with what you write here. Respecting the rules (or Laws for the purists) has to be the central tenant of “the spirit” - it’s the only objective standard that will stand the test of time. Certainly I was taught that accepting the umpires decision without question was one of the main...- Ranga

The Ashes, 2023.
Is anyone able to describe what “the spirit of the game” really means? It seems to me that it has selective application, depending on which side is supported / opposed… England will no doubt claim they are 2-0 up now. They won the first test because it’s only because of them that Australia...- Ranga

Latu Fainu
You’re right - it’s not a huge amount of salary cap. So why aren’t the other 16 clubs fighting each other for the chance to sign a guy that some have described as a ‘generational’ player? Only the Tigers and the Dolphins have been mentioned as potential homes. I can only guess that the jury is...- Ranga

The Ashes, 2023.
England have had the best of the conditions so far, and 400 in the first innings showed great application by our batsman (especially Smith). I had feared we would be rolled for half that given we normally crap ourselves when the ball slight moves. Losing Lyon would be a huge loss, but with...- Ranga
