I knew some where injured but you cant tel me they could of pick a couple of young forwards like Cordner, klemmer, Jackson they would of done a better job then Thaiday,Woods Farrah,It took a old man like C.Parker who was there best forward on the field and he came from the bench,

NRL FAN · Oct 27, 2014

That's why Parker is the best forward week in week out. He does he's job and just keeps getting better with age.

Feleti Mateo released from Warriors and signs 2 year deal with Manly-Warringah.

Watmough confirmed as released and Willie Mason confirmed as having signed to MW too.

RIP Brian 'Chika' Moore. A Newtown Bluebagger through and through, he was the glue that kept the Jets side together in the clubs last couple of seasons.

My father-in-law was an old Bluebag supporter and always rated Chika as a club legend.

I always remember him as a sticker on the last page of the 1983 Scanlens sticker book.

He had a great career as a centre in the 1960's and 1970's. Also went on the 1967/68 Kangaroos tour where he was leading try scorer from 11 matches (no tests unfortunately). A popular fellow, he played 173 games for the Bluebags and scored 90 tries.

Sad to hear he passed away on Sunday after a long illness.

Fox was saying Kirisome Auva'a has asked for a release from Souths. Probably on little coin and has been offered more elsewhere is my guess.

well he had a pretty good season so i don't see why they wouldn't try and upgrade his contract

I don't know if he has asked for a "release" But has definitely triggered a clause that entitles him to look around....

I believe he was entitled to an upgrade as he played more than 20 NRL matches....
I don't know if souths have enough money to offer him what he could get elsewhere?

Yep. I said to the wife that as long as they sign Reynolds, Keary, the Burgii twins, Luke, GI, Walker and Johnstone, they can fill the rest of the side with niff-nuffs and over-the-hill pensioners for all I care.

Awesome signings!, A drug pusher, a wife beater, a sponsor hater and a couple of nuffies!, at least Takairangi and Robinson have a gig for next year!.

bukuya will be coming back to sharks for next season

The Mad Hatter · Oct 31, 2014

Just looks wrong. Like Gary Larson at Para in 2000 wrong.

Seriously, is time for the NRL make 250+ gamers for one club exempt of the cap. That way they can keep their old stagers until they retire, and tie them to one club.

Sigh.

Agree he doesn't look right without a manly jumper

And I meant it as absolutely no disrespect to Para. And before anyone says "oh, but Watmough played at Northern Eagles, so technically, he's played for three clubs", only 8 games for NE and 278 for Manly.

I was the same with Hornby, Young, Burt, Hindmarsh, Menzies, etc. You play 250 games for a club, they should keep you. Clubs cast out talent/experience far too quickly. Some of these ageing warriors could still play a dozen + games a year and if they've played at one club, why should the salary cap hold a gun to a club's head?

I agree with you, the nrl should reward players for playing with a club for so long. it might help entice clubs to hold on to the players and players to stay
