I'm ready to walk away from the game

[Snake]

I don't know how the rest of you guys feel about the NRL at present, but what has happened over the last week is a sad state of affairs. Bird to the Broncos, Foran to the Dogs, Woods to the Dogs, Moses to Parramatta, Evans to Parramatta, and Tedesco to the Roosters. The Tigers playing ranks completely decimated and the Knights miss out again.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer and the NRL sit back and let it happen. Why won't they do something about it?

Bye.

such a worthwhile contribution to the thread, how do you find the time? 😉

lol just look at the history of the competition, this is hardly new. What is relatively new is that we are not one of the financial powerhouses who rule the roost. Back in the day we bought internationals in bulk. These days we have to be smart to compete, we've proved we can do it and now with a new crew we have to do it again. Not for everyone, but I find it compelling viewing.

I take your point but I think I hate Canterbury and Parramatta so much that seeing them recruit well makes me sick in the stomach...I also don't think I will ever get over Foran leaving Manly.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Of course you will. All it will take is Manly returning to the top of the tree. It's a tall tree but we are good climbers 😉

You're forgetting how good it would be for "rugby league" if poor, misunderstood and hard done by battlers like Parramatta happen to win the premiership next year..

It is simpler to just follow Manly and block out the rest

The player merry-go-round is the new norm unfortunately.😕

However, it does give a chance to those up and coming players who always appear 🙂

Sport is a great arena of the human spirit and money ultimately is not the equalizer that the CEOs like to think.

Remember that in 2008, a Team of makeshift players, scattered with some aging stars, beat an illegally loaded Team of superstars.

I'm excited about the potential of our current Team - Go Manly

Recruit well?
The mighty Dez finally has the team he's built himself after 5yrs as the coach and still has no apples. Woods and Foran reeks of desperation. Dogs will now offload $2m worth of talent to fit in Woods who's is one of the most overrated players in the Comp and Foz who is a ticking time bomb in Sydney. Clubs will be licking their lips to get some of the $2m in talent they will get rid of.

Parramatta....? Recruit well?.... Watmough, Foz, Sandow, not to mention half their team probably still have pending domestic assault charges. Salary cap breach.
Moses for 8/900 isn't good recruitment, it's terrible. He won't compliment Norman at all. And Kane Evans in my opinion is overrated.

We have $1.3m on the war chest ready to pounce. Made some excellent youth signings and also some "has beens" who had apparently lost it that are proving people wrong.

We're in a good position compared to both the clubs you mentioned.

Spot on .

Manly will be right there ready to snap up players shed from the Dogs and Roosters on the back of their purchases.

In the end of it the only people responsible for West being gutted is Wests. They are a poorly conceived and run shambles.
