After the sudden passing of Matt's brother I reckon he'll be missing from footy for a while, Gorgeous George is just waiting for a Sympathetic coach, someone like Don Furner Senior back in the early 70's when he transformed Arthur Beetson into a Superstar, if George isn't prepared to put the hard yards in now then he never will.

The NRL is a joke of an organisation. I love their excuse - 'The NRL salary cap auditor provided reasons such as a negative 'ripple' effect on sponsors, fans, media and employees'
I wonder if the NRL thought about the 'ripple effect' of them not letting the Raiders replace Dugan's $650,000 hole in their salary cap with a new player.
