Anyone a fan of Mayans MC? Good to see some of the old favourites from Sons of Anarchy turn up every so often. Also started watching Power. I'm half way through season 3. It's been pretty good with some good twists or a lot of tention building up.

I think all player should be contracted to, and paid by, the NRL. Then the club tells the NRL pay so much to player A, player B etc. Then, at the end of the year, the NRL issues a tax return for the sum paid, which the player signs. If the IRD or...

Gee you two are harsh - good context and still unfolding wrighty is what I’m hearing. Both aspects that were never present in the metallic feline’s efforts. His MO was to agitate this forum for either news or ‘fans reactions’ to news/no news...

I’d say B is more likely.

In the back of your mind, you have to think outside of probably the Storm and the Roosters, next year there will be a melt down from a much vaunted team like the Cowboys and Dragons this year that nobody saw coming. Then you will get a team that...

What’s 3rd party deals all about? - that screams dubious additional payments all day long!

Lisone lost a bit of tub around the belt. He is naturally big up top. Need another good one from him this year. Papalii looking leaner,hope his speed and agility is back. With no big signings,looks promising.

NFL seems to avoid this chaos and when was the last time they had a salary cap scandal? I don't like the idea of contracts being public, but definitely think the NRL should have significantly more power to access club/player finances if there's...

My update is that I was in contact with the Warriors beat writer/journalist and I made a plea to him for news on what was happening with Tino. He promised to get to the bottom of it or at least make inquiries with his network. I was expecting an...
