    Recruitment and Retention for 2028

    I don't pay much attention to SL as my team is Championship, I watch the odd Challenge cup game and most years go to the final and watch the GF (although i've stopped going to it live). However the problem is SL and NRL are very different, there are some different rules the ruck speed is...

    Recruitment and Retention for 2028

    Do you drink a slab before you type? How can you in anyway say Williams is hurting the cap before you've actually seen him play? Knowles hasn't hit expectations so far and i have concerens about Williams but Neither are hurting the cap. Hurting the cap is a player being paid loads to sit in QCup.

    Recruitment and Retention for 2027

    Sure herbie is a different story. His glory will be premierships as he'll never get SOO (even though he is blatantly a QLD product) he'll also never get anything with England. and sure he is now coming into the peak of his career. (Also i'm pretty sure that his family are shall we say not in...

    World cup

    Yea i'm watching it. i've been up hours watching the wheelchair games. Englands Womens game is still basically Amateur and i'd say most of the Samoa team are not born and raised in Samoa. York, Saint Helens and Wigan do have some cash for players but they are still working full time. Take Amy...

    Recruitment and Retention for 2027

    I get your point. If the guy was 30 and had the stash in the bank and was set already its would be job done. It depends on motivation, is he interested in adulation or cash. Bank what you can when you can, if you happen to pick up some glory great but cutting your earnings for it is only a...

    Recruitment and Retention for 2027

    With the money comes the lifestyle and bimbo wanting to spend it. How many times do you hear of this ex player or that ex player spending loads on post career surgery or treatment, or as you say pissing it up the wall or up their nose.

    So if he is a place holder is he cheaper and better than Kodi? If not to one or both then why bother?

    Recruitment and Retention for 2027

    75k sat in an investment for 40 years will. Sports careers follow the opposite path to most. Nearly every career you start on poor pay and as you get older you get better and end up on the most usually in your 50s or 60s (especially exec level) In sport you earn most of the cash before you're 30...

    Recruitment and Retention for 2027

    Knees however have a tendancy like hamstrings to keep going. How many kids have you coached or spoken to who don't bother with school because they are convinced they will be a star so don't need to study? I used to tell them all it takes is one hit to the side of the knee in the wrong way and...

    Recruitment and Retention for 2027

    The guy had a near career ending knee injury last year that will impact his view on the future. does he want glory or a secure future? stash the cash while your young go for trophies later. A winners ring doesn't pay the bills when you're 60 but a properly invested salary will.

    Recruitment and Retention for 2027

    Players can hold the clubs to ransom, however, it will get to a point where the lower end of those players will get burned. when i gets close to end of time and they are without the clubs can make back overs by offering less than they originally did to stay or say do one and then everyone else...

    The guy is a head case. All any team need to do is needle him and he'll pop and get sent off. his disciplinary record this year has been appalling.

    Recruitment and Retention for 2027

    Makes sense, the increase in the salary cap coming in has opened up possibilities. At least 1 player is going to test and get overs so why not it be you
