Shite!
Can't blame boys for feeding their kids.
But i desperately hope it's an unfounded rumour
Some bloke on a Wests Tigers forum has said it is a done deal provided the Force get the chop.
I wouldn't imagine the Wests Tigers or any other NRL side would be waiting on the ARU's decisions before committing to a deal with a player.
Maybe keeping a couple of options open because the NRLC is almost as much a basket case as the ARU at the moment. In an unsteady cease fire with the clubs and at war with the RLPA. So they can't settle on a salary cap figure. The point of contention - grass roots funding. Sound familiar? :S
Nothing is a big of basket case as the ARU at the moment, not even a basket.
But you could be right. Sounds like the NRL has pissed all of it's money away on magic beans, mind you most of the coverage I read is on News Ltd sites and it's not like they don't have an axe to grind with the NRL.
After conducting extensive and exhaustive inquiries and receiving the good oil from one of my many trustworthy avenues I have arrived at the conclusion that the rumour involving the resale of 2 large flatscreen plasmas and Peni and Rona going back to mungo ball is a load of shit.
True that most of the agitation is on News Ltd assets. But whether the clubs and RLPA are singing from Rupert's a songbook is another question. The main bone of contention seems that they spend around $192 mil a year on "running the game" but nothing is itemised - according to Paul Kent. He did mention 7 commissioners - and partners - flew business class plus accommodation for Origin 1 while the players were"up the back" Maybe Alison could decipher it for him.
P.S. I said "almost as big a basket case".
Front page of the thread has Rona signed with us for next year. I expect he would be playing for us when we get told we are in Super Rugby in 2018.
Can someone give the idiots at Wests Tigers forum a blast & tell em to shove their rumours.
Rona is signed for three years and according to my little birdy is going nowhere.
Peni doesn't want to go either according to the same feathered fellow but who knows what might happen.
The NRL rumour machine is working full-time
To WF players and staff- this is bloody agony for us - can only imagine what it is like for you -stick with it we are all behind you- good will come of this!!!
