    pretty clear what i was expecting, a bloke who's spent his entire career amongst a group not to sell out that group the moment he plays somewhere else, the second part of your sentence is dumb, every club has their own versions of shapes in attack and defence, set plays and 'if x, then y' scenarios, for example that first game he played against us, Ben Hunt took an intercept and scored, then said after the game he knew the play we were running and knew where to be to get in the way off it... If Kodi didn't share info that was worth something to the Warriors, this story wouldn't exist.

    Speaking of player's switching clubs, how come the Broncos can play Seggy without registering him ? Another NRL bias or will they be deducted the 2 points ?

    NRL has been notoriously picky about who gets who gets named on team lists, it's not like we just snuck him out on the field, his signing was publicly announced, and his name was on the team list all week, if the NRL hadn't given us the green light to play him, we wouldn't have been allowed in the first place, so there's no way they can take the points off us after the fact, it's probably happened more than anyone knows, but it wasn't the Broncos and it wasn't the bloke who scores the game-winner so it goes under the radar.

    But if it's that important to you, have the 2 points, we're not good enough to win the whole thing and we're not bad enough to anchor the ladder, so really who the fuck cares if the NRL decided to overlook some red tape that was all but a formality anyway?

    This seems a bit like fake news. The Broncos registered him with the NRL. Paul Kent and Rothfield are saying the NRL shouldn't have registered it because they can only do that if the Sharks sign a release which hadn't happened before the Roosters match.

    But had the Sharks ever registered him for 2019? In March the story going around was he'd signed a $1 contract with Newtown, but the NRL wouldn't register him because of the salary cap breaches. There was then nothing said and the next anything is said in April it's reported that he is set to be the beneficiary of Ava Seumanufagai being released to play in the UK. But there was still never anything saying that he was ever registered by the NRL after that time. They never played him and went the Brailey/Brailey combo of 9/14 in every game in April and May. My guess is the Sharks signature is not required as his wasn't a registered Sharks player at the time they signed him.

    handily enough, ijust looked it up and there is this quote from Graham Annesley as of an hour ago:

    "The Segeyaro story is quite a simple one," Annesley explained on Monday.

    "He signed a contract, that contract was lodged with the NRL salary cap auditor and the Integrity Unit.

    "They were absolutely fine with the contents of that from a salary cap perspective.

    "It was submitted for registration in the appropriate way.

    "There were assurances given - and knowledge of the fact - that the player had been verbally cleared from the club (Newtown) he was leaving.

    "The salary cap auditor has a broad scope to use discretion about registering players to determine whether more information is required or not.

    "They were completely satisfied everything was in order subject to the remaining paperwork which was a mere formality.

    "It was on that basis he was provisionally registered to play."

    Annesley claims there have been previous cases where players have been cleared to play despite the NRL waiting on paperwork.

    He said: "It's not uncommon for a player to be given provisional registration in order to play so the player or club are not disadvantaged.

    "He (Segeyaro) didn't play unregistered."

    In other words, I’m far more worried about the drunk driving charge he’s just copped than the Signature of some bloke running a reserve grade side

    FFS Segeyaro. Take 2 weeks off for the DUI you dumb bastard. Not sure whether the NRL gives penalties based on the BAC, but you should miss at least a couple of matches for any DUI.

    Salmon got a week from the Eels for getting in a car wreck while over the limit, so it will be interesting to see what Seggy gets for being caught under the regular legal limit but on P's, i expect we'll come down on him a bit harder than that if the Haas situation is anything to go by.

    I’d sack him. He was in the last chance saloon anyone and would be an example to the rest of the players. Surely you can’t tolerate someone like him potentially infecting the clubs culture. Which in recent times has been suspect at best.

    Perhaps as an unregistered player he’s still Cronulla’s (Newtown’s) problem...

    So to your point - yes the NRL are notoriously picky on eligibility and to mine - yes the NRL have again shown Broncos bias and they wont lose the 2 points.

    To be fair it was the 2 points you were owed from when we smashed you playing MCK pending a uber slapping.

    It has been a long time Piehole. Flip Off
    Seriously though, Boyd’s only problem is that he refuses to put his body on the line anymore. I was fucking spewing when they gave him a four year - $3m contract at the end of 2017. I would have offered him $1.2m for two years at the time. At best he should have only ever been offered the same money he’s on now until the end of this year. Big mistake.

    Potentially the poor bloke was also suffering withdrawal symptoms following the move and the associated cold turkey approach.

    As for the DUI, happy the NRL and club has stayed the fuck out of this one and let the courts punish or caution him accordingly.

    haha hey mate, good to see you back

    yeah exactly, its not like his form has improved much. The whole team is playing a bit better which doesnt expose him as much as it was at the start of the season

    I see you decided to not quote the line where Annesley said granting this type of registration is not uncommon ie. is not exclusive to the Broncos or this situation, but you do you Smile

    as for Roberts, it's a good move, as much as i would like to have a happy and healthy Roberts in my team, it's pretty clear that we weren't going to get either of those things from him under the new management, and we have blokes in his place doing the job, just more cash under the belt to keep others hands off our young blokes.

    Yeah the way Roberts has played this year, it's probably for the best that he has a change. I hope he goes well down there. Jimmy at his best makes watching football enjoyable. A couple of the tries the last couple of years have been fantastic. The one against the Roosters where he just burnt them with speed around the outside like he was playing under 10's was amazing to watch.
