Yep, he's there every week in the exact same seat ready to go, it's hilarious. I missed the mayo but he nails a shooey every other week. Although when it first happened I think there were question marks as to whether he actually had poured a beeer in, but he's proven since to be legit.

At least Braith is being honest that they cheated the cap, we aren’t stupid. I’m glad Braith had the gumption to say it.

I’ve always respected Braith he just went up higher in my book.

Happy Birthday to an OG Filthridden for yesterday.  Your team giving you a Semi win doesn't get much better!

*insert my annual Dragons supporter pun here*

I brought this on myself when i saw it was a dailymail link, but he really said nothing that would confirm that they were, or were not.

This just in every team cheats the cap or has done in the past

The Mighty Easts Tigers v Burleigh in the Q Cup Final today if Fanatics need a fix.  

For those who don't know, this is Easts 6th GF since 1997, they are 0 and 5

Winner of Q Cup to lose to the winner of Norths v Souths next week in the NSW Cup

Saw it mentioned that theres a possibility of a Bears vs Bears State Championship and that seems like the best timeline to me

Up the Wahs !

The only thing Braith is being honest about is his own opinion.
Given that he was a Bulldogs player back then, he would have no knowledge whatsoever about the Roosters club finances other than innuendo and theories.

It might be different if he talked about receiving under-the-table payments outside of his contract while at the Roosters, but he hasn't said that, nor has anyone else.


Players look to push rules as far as they can on the field without getting penalised, clubs likely do the same off the field (including yours...).
If it's a massive exploitation (second set of books etc) then they will (probably) get caught... eventually...


Is it fair that some clubs can afford much better rosters than other clubs under the same cap?
No - but some clubs are better at managing their shit than others.

For instance, is it the Roosters or the Storm, Broncos, Panthers or Rabbitohs fault that the Tigers are largely a poorly managed and ineffective club?
Should this be addressed by penalising well-managed clubs to help benefit the clubs that are not well-managed? or would that just reward incompetency


In the end, a bit of this is just sport and it's just life - there's little point in wasting anger on something that you (or any of us) have no ability to change (and we don't even have proof that it's real).
I mean, you can enjoy the story I guess, but I hope you don't let it weigh you down

Up the Wahs!

Until I read your spoiler, I was genuinely expecting to see Terrell May's name (plus associated shock).

Nat Butcher might not be flashy, but they don't need everyone to be flashy and he'll fit in whatever team like an old glove.
