Hasler bans players from playing final City Country

[Eagles2nv]

Says he doesn't want players injured for a game that he feels is irrelevant.

I have to agree with him on this one. Would hate to lose someone like Turbo.

DESpicable is bigger than the game.

Playing under another coach and new players must ultimately help develop a player

So many players get injured during training - is Dez stopping that as well

If you saw the Eastwood kick you would say yes.

select who you want, if Des withdraws them for no valid reason then stand them down for the next NRL game

Clubs cannot be dictating

What if that coach is Brad Fittler?

Makes no difference, as anything you learn in life just broadens your understanding of what to do or not to do for yourself

I like his stance.Its a rubbish game.Players like McCrone get a game and are called rep players.The Dogs have to play the Thursday after the game in Townsville.Im sure if it was Manly in that position we'd be dirty

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Sad really.

The NRL (not that they will) should back the NSWRL and ban the subject Suppository-Offaltown players from playing in the following round.

 

[Holmsey]

He's bigger than the game, it's going to be better without the bull grubs anyway. And it's not pointless it's an origin audition, it's a chance for young guns. Tom and Walkz will play, Jake should be Roos lock becuase he has been amazing this year but when isn't he, most consistent footy player going.

Origin audition?Please

Todd looking after his team again.

How isn't It?

 

[Harvies elbow]

For some players this game may be their only chance to represent.
Dogs just hiding behind the cloak of player welfare.
Can't have much belief in their depth and should be fined a hundred grand for each player they ban.
And have them stood down.

 

[Nordburg]

How isn't It?

Aaron Gray and James Maloney for starters

I'm no Greenberg fan but he hasn't commented on the Dogs stance yet.Wait til then

Also, don't nsw have something called 'probables' which don't have to play, and the 'possibles' which they trot out just in case they get picked....if a probable gets injured.

As fatty once said...it's great. nsw just smash themselves up before playing us....beauty! (that was before the probable and possible thing.)

Try saying its a rubbish game to CRL clubs in the bush and see how they like it
Yes if it was Manly we'd be dirty but we'd suck it up - and certainly not ban players from rep games.

Then why is it being scrapped,again,after this yr?Obviously the fixture isn't having much of an impact in the country

I'd be surprised if its not against the country's wishes but the powers that be (rightly or wrongly) think otherwise. Imho its a damn shame.
