NRL Rumour Mill Thread (Spoilers)

NRL have refused to register Falou and SBW as they do not have accredited player agents. They will need to find new agents the NRL have said or not play.

Not really a rumour but this photo really just doesn't look right with all those ex panthers/tigers players....

Bought not bred

It does however look like a decent team.

Pretty unrealistic goal for the sharks, Considering there is only 4 people i know that support them, and 2 of them are on here. Unless they start winning and get some bandwagoners, ha ha ha....

A born and bred Cronulla Junior will be wasting away the years waiting for their chance of playing First Grade at the Sharks, this will destroy the dreams of a dozen kids in the Shire.

I'd be spewing if my team had as many random jerseys as the warriors.

I'm the type that goes out and buys every New Jersey my team releases. So I'd be broke if the broncos released like 10 or 12 jerseys over 2 years.

im the type that buys them 2 years later for $29 and save my money for a game worn piece of the auctions store or something along the lines

Rumour is some clubs will have 2 different jerseys per game next season. The right to left of screen jersey and the left to right of screen jersey. Different sponsors too. Home and Away...so minimum 4 jerseys just there.

And I wouldn't pay $180 when I can get em bargain basement in 2 years time. And don't get me started on kids jerseys. Official club jerseys $80-$100 for a 3 year old kid. Ha! Best & Less do the cheapo versions, but they also do the old cotton style, with a collar. Bought em for $20 each.

But some clubs have more jerseys than years in the actual comp. And sox. FMD.

The NRL actually were doing polls to see how many people wanted, cause I think mum's and dad's start to get a bit PO with the changes week in week out. I remember hearing Rabbits Warren lamenting the change week in and week out saying the same.

And don't get me wrong - don't mind the idea behind the Indigenous round and the Women In League pink jerseys but I won't buy them. But then you have ANZAC Day jerseys now, and those God-awful product tie in jerseys like Bulldogs / Avatar a few years ago. If they want themed weekends, it needs to be uniform through the comp for all clubs on that themed weekend and not a hodge podge. Don't really care about Heritage round as Souths basically have worn the same jersey for 100 years.

What sticks in my craw is that blue Newtown Jets Nth Qld 'heritage' jersey. Sorry...wear the 1995 jersey. I am sure people can tell me that the blue Cowboys jersey is special, but as I know a lot of old Bluebaggers who every year decry the theft of their jersey/colours when Nth Qld never wore it in ARL/SL/NRL era...

And while I'm moaning - Wests Tigers...stop wearing Tour De France jerseys. Go with the black and orange/gold hoop or orange / black V for HOME and Black and white hoops OR black and white V for away. Those colours are so distinctive...esp the Tigers orange.

And while I'm still moaning, the Warriors throwing in the RED this season, especially on the White with black V, from a distance I had even my 3 year old tell me the Roosters were playing. Yep...

For mine, each team should have their home jersey. If they wish to use that away, then so be it. If they must have an away jersey fine. But I remember Souths having to wear their white 'clash' alternate jersey down in Canberra and Canberra went and wore a predominantly grey jersey with thin lime piping. It just made a mockery of the whole thing.

But back to the Warriors, am disappointed they seem to have got rid of that pink pregnancy testing kit jersey they had this season. Tis a pity.

Stop giving those idiots in charge ideas

IMO, there are way too many jerseys. Teams should have a main and alternate that should only be worn if there actually is a clash and they should be kept for at least 5 years. I don't mind them having a charity jersey but only wear it once per year.

Product placement jerseys (Avatar, Batman, Star Wars etc) are a disgrace.

At the end of the day you don't have to buy them. It is more to choose from.

I reckon what we'll see, with these new branding logos, is a PINK NRL logo, a INDIGENOUS themed logo, ANZAC Day logo and what ever else they want to do, but the jersey will be the same.

I reckon you will see CLUB jersey and clash jersey (for say - Eels, Cowboys, Titans OR Roosters vs Knights, and maybe Storm vs Sea Eagles).

My dream is CLEANSKIN jerseys...maybe one day if the money comes in, cool.

I'm all for centralisation. EG - ARLC/NRL makes a deal with an airline to be the 'official' carrier of the NRL. Same with Powerade, ground signage, food and beverages, etc. The NRL worries about the deals and gives the money to the clubs/game and the clubs just worry about running the club and their football team.

I heard Mattiske say that as part of the big $$$ grant they are now giving clubs, the clubs had to relinquish some key signage at grounds and their website/domain as the NRL believed a uniform, centralised idea was better and they could make more money collectively. Sounds like slowly things are happening.

We'll know when the ARLC have made it when the NRL logo sits on a Weet-Bix box with AFL, A League and Cricket.
