back on the jamie lyon subject, did the eels get reimbursed for the remainder of lyons unfulfilled contract? and regardless of the way lyons left ( told his team mates he was leaving), still can't see how this belies the arrogance of this player or any other for thinking he is bigger than his club or the game. a walker is still a walker.

Have you read Graeme HUGHES recent book?? Anyhow, no further comment on this subject, it's getting a tad boring.

elusive winger
Banned User
he was given permission by the Eels to play in the U.K, no compensation required.

GO COUNTRY!!!!
very sad news for the game. made my blood boil when they asked kimmorley what he thought on foxsports, and of course he offered his opinion like anyone gives a ****. for kimmorley to give an opinion on a player that him and anderson forced out, and to give an opinion on a player that had more talent in his little toe than kimmorley had in his whole body, without acknowledging this fact, is just pure arrogance. preston was a legend and his shafting at the sharks was a blight on the game
Good summary from the Sunday Tele today.
Here’s a rundown of where your club sits in relation to recruitment and retention.
BULLDOGS
Were expected to have a $1million war chest following the departure of Jamal Idris and retirement of captain Andrew Ryan. But chief executive Todd Greenberg said this was a misconception and the club had upgraded a number of promising rookies. In negotiations to retain Mickey Paea, while Chris Armit, Michael Lett and Junior Tia Kalifi are expected to move on.
BRONCOS
Minimal movement after signing Queensland icon Petero Civioniceva and upgrading their talented crop of juniors.
RAIDERS
Chief executive Don Furner is trying to extend Jarrod Croker and Blake Ferguson beyond the end of next season, while David Milne, Josh Miller and Danny Galea face an uncertain future.
SHARKS
Expected to cut a number of players, including former Dally M rookie of the year Tim Smith, Broderick Wright, Paul Aiton, Dean Collis and Stuart Flanagan. In discussions to retain Ben Pomeroy.
TITANS
Have already lost Nathan Friend, Anthony Laffranchi and a host of others as they reshape for next season.

Coach Des Hasler is confident prop Rose, Tony Williams, local junior Vic Mauro and Joe Galuvao will all remain on the northern beaches.
KNIGHTS
Cameron Ciraldo, Steve Southern and Shannon McDonnell are on the outer, with Cuthbertson expected to be a new arrival.

Roosters players have been busted breaking alcohol ban last night.
Good to see the culture improving at the place.

Update - sorry no prizes for guessing who was involved
ROOSTERS officials have launched an investigation into reports that star trio Nate Myles, Todd Carney and Frank-Paul Nu'uausala broke a team booze ban in the early hours of this morning.
The Daily Telegraph has learned that a cab driver phoned the club earlier today to inform officials of a fare they hailed between a Double Bay hotel and an Oxford St pub late last night.
The players have been contacted and are expected to be questioned later today.
The latest drama to beset the Bondi club comes just over a week after the entire team agreed to embark on a fortnight-long alcohol ban, in the wake of concerns from the senior player group over deteriorating off-field behaviour.
The story will be detailed as more comes to hand.

That's one way of looking at the Gaznier debacle... The other way is that the Saints got an International Quality Player back for a song on a back loaded contract to help them win a premiership... And now he has helped them to it, He is going!!
Almost as big a Salary Cap rort as Melbourne!!

Which bit is the salary cap rort? backloading contract, if thats your definition of a rort, then unfortunaly we may as well cancel the premiership as ALL clubs do it and still do it and will keep doing it as it is LEGAL.. What the Storm did was ILLEGAL....
What I am referring to is in fact that the Dragons got a class player back last year for Nothing on the premise he had a back loaded contract...
Now the Back loading wont happen, So effectively the dragons got a star player back to help with thier campaign at 1/4 of his market worth...
Sounds like a rort to me!!

umm if your going to make a statement at least make sure it's factual... He has on $120,000 last year, not Nothing, for playing approx 40%(if not less) of a season.. He was on decent coin this year and would have been on more the following two seasons... If your saying that i.e he is worth say $400,000 a season and we only paid him say $250,000, and then thats a rort again call the comp off, as eg D.Lockyer contract is $250,000, because he is happy to play for less at the Bronco's and make the money up in 3rd party sponsorship's, just like Gasnier who has heaps of 3rd party sponsors....
