It's another example of the desperate league media trying to manufacture an off-season story. Chris McQueen is all but signed at Penrith, Burgess' contract will go through without a hitch. edit: big gently caress you to McQueen from Souths considering they leveraged his idiotic Rabbitoh pride to pay him unders for years. Wonder how much he regrets that Rabbitoh neck tattoo that screamed out 'underpay me' to Souths management.

Red_Museum posted:http://www.nrl.com/draw/telstrapremiership/draw/tabid/11180/default.aspx Warrior's draw looks good to me, amongst the teams we play twice we have Tigers, Titans, Raiders, Knights. Also, Penrith are beinging a home game to Christchurch and the Bulldogs are hosting in Wellington. We will play an origin weakened Roosters in round 15 too.

ili posted:Apparently Sydney/NSW clubs will not have to play the Friday 6pm game because the traffic is bad and nobody will turn up. Lucky the streets of Brisbane are deserted during peak hour while the Cowboys fans are renowned for living close to the stadium. Should work fairly well for the Warriors though, 8pm kick off on a Friday night. Getting to suncorp even during peak hour is really easy though because there's a train station a 5 minute walk from there. It's actually a really well designed stadium and transport network around it in Brisbane which is really loving weird for Qld considering most town planning is dogshit. I've gone to Friday night games before and other than a few drunk yobs on the train it's pretty painless. They always have shitloads of minders on the platforms telling you where to go.

Twitter is of the belief that the Tigers will be offering an apology to the fans for the way the whole affair has been handled. Given the three month process has left us exactly where we were at the beginning, except now we have no Taupau but do have a superfluous hooker, I kinda think that would be appropriate.

Wests Tigers posted:Welcome to the Wests Tigers CEO Update for November 2015. A lot has been happening behind the scenes at the Club since my last update with plenty to report. That's surprisingly light on Farah news, but at least we're getting a new website. At least it's the first email I've got from the Tigers in a while that wasn't addressing an immediate crisis.

James Roberts has asked for a release from the Titansquote:The Titans offered Roberts a sponsor car as a sweetener to complement his existing two-year deal which was essentially null and void due to his deal being tampered with by a staff member. Roberts rejected the club’s offer which did not include an increase in the value of his deal Maybe should have offered him a bit more after the whole signature fraud.

ISC are having a big sale on a bunch of team gear, up to 70% off. The code WELCOMETOISC will give another $10 off if you spend over $50, plus free shipping at $75 worth of stuff. No Broncos gear so I think I might buy some Wests stuff to thank them for subsidizing Blair for us this season. ISC stuff is usually excellent quality so even with the Tigers logo all over it I wouldn't expect it to fall apart as soon as it arrives

Has anything topped the Titans forged contract yet? I've not followed the offseason too closely this year but Google hasn't given many hits when using key rugby league words "assault," "animal," "sexual," or "glassing."

Dirty Frank posted:Thanks Titans The best feeder club. Can't help but feel a mixture of sadness and antipathy for the Titans; half the nonsense that happened to them this year was arguably beyond their control, but despite Bird's mewing protests, literally committing fraud unquestionably extinguishes any goodwill or loyalty or affectation the club might otherwise be entitled to by any player or human being. Their pissweak response to offer an 'upgraded' contract consisting of a free car and nothing else goes to show they're still run by hopeless idiots. I don't blame Roberts one iota for leaving, even if he ends up at some rectal cancer of a club like Manly or the Roosters. I don't even blame him for running off with Anthony Mundine, someone rather sane, composed and all-around level-headed in comparison to the premier clownshoe and straitjacket emporium that is the GC.

Sometimes I wonder how clubs like the Titans and Tigers actually function at all, considering they appear to be controlled by literal muppets who actively do everything in their power to destabilise them. There must be some incredible support staff there to keep the lights on and the players in any semblance of sanity.

So we might see a bit of the league equivalent of hit and giggle in the 9s (or at least more so than usual): http://www.nrl.com/new-free-play-rule-for-auckland-nines/tabid/10874/newsid/91144/default.aspx The NRL posted:The rule is aimed at allowing the team which gains possession from a mistake to attempt a high risk play without fear of losing advantage.

Its responsible for a good play way to rarely and way too often teams throw away good position by kicking/passing uselessly, when the best play would have been to take the tackle and get a fast PtB. Its frustrating when its your team and risible when its a neutral. I hate it.

Sometimes they have to decide if a penalty or a scrum is a better outcome which they can get wrong. Pretty sure I've seen a ref change his mind when the captain says wtf we want the penalty, doesn't happen often though.

Its a fine rule that strikes a balance between a team seemingly getting no advantage from their opponents mistakes and the absurdity in union where an advantage can go on for minutes. I don't think you can blame the rule for teams squandering their chances carelessly.

I don't think you can blame the rule for teams squandering their chances carelessly. Zero tackle, and first knock on if there's an immediate error is advantage enough imo. I've plenty of bile left for the stupid coaches and players if it make you happier though How does the advantage rule work in Union?

My understanding (and I don't watch much union so I'm happy to be corrected) is that advantage lasts essentially forever. For example, if your opponent knocks on gifting you possession and then a few tackles later you knock on or lose the ball in the ruck, it goes back to the original infraction, no matter how much time has passed.

Yeah, from back when I played rugby it lasted effectively forever, especially when you were on your own line. I think it ends if you gain enough ground or manage to take advantage of it, which may take a while to happen.
