Another rule change I am not sure about... I don't know what they are trying to fix?

 

[Disco]

Yeah not sure about a club slotting in a player 5-6 games before the finals

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I would like to know why!

 

[Woodsie]

It's in case SBW wants another run ....

 

[pjayz]

Could be to our advantage if Manase doesn't get off?

Good call ..

Good thinking but unfortunately his trial starts 26 July and is to go for 3 weeks...

I can only see the strong teams getting stronger closer to the finals as a result of this proposed change

One date is the same as any other.

 

[jbb/james]

Out of contention teams can dump or trade and top 4 teams can pick them up . Bellamy will have 1 million and 3 spots left to fill come august 1.

One date is the same as any other.

Not in this case buddy as it coincided with the #30 player being named. Will the #30 player deadline be moved to august 1 or will any player signed after june 30 not be eligible to play unless another player is removed from the Top 30?
Seems a strange change to me...but hey, they are making a lot of poor changes.

So with a month to go in the competition the Roosters swap out 4 also rans and top up with 4 million dollar players that they only have to pay for a month.

Yep sounds kosher to me.

 

[The better Robbo]

I don't like it one bit! Makes no sense... I find in absurd.

 

[chuckee]

It seems the inmates are running the asylum at NRL HQ. Not sure how it’s all gone pear shaped when things were looking on the up.

 

[47MVEagle]

This is only going to further encourage the mercenary attitudes many players & their managers already have.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Might suit Scam , he could play two months , circa one million , bit like the Indian Premier League T20 money they throw around!

 

[Budgie]

I wonder if they’ve thought about the fan impact? Fine if you’re a Roosters supporter (ick) but how would we feel
If they swooped in when we’re out of finals contention and DCE won a premiership with them? Just seems like it’s ****ting all over loyal supporters.

Noticed a report last week where the N R L or some spokesperson said that if Cam Smith was to resume playing , they would only accept a reasonably high contract value for him for him to be registered again . Apparently this is still some official guideline or criteria for general player registrations but seems to be a bit vague and even hardly applying in the main . Just wonder how it may apply with any intended signing deadline changes . Consistency may have been over rated with the previous administration , not sure if it still the case but one would hope not in the bigger picture .

I had to laugh at the headline last week that the donkeys had "turned to a GC millionaire to convince [scam] to sign with them" - or words to that effect...

When Manly did that with Foran we got fined a bucket load and it screwed us for years... wtf...
