Which is a feat in itself considering that rugby league still runs a poor second behind the AFL.

The NRL, and in particular Fox Sports has a very big influence down there.

The Big 3 largely funded by TPA's.

And let's not forget the additional $10 million a year they get to run the club as they are disadvantaged by being in the AFL heartland.

Fair Dinkum, it ****s me , the advantages they get!
 
Exactly so how do they manage that within the salary cap???
A good number of those who have emerged this and last year would've been neville nobodies when they signed their current 1-3 year deals. So sitting on far less than their worth for now.
Plus, we all know Melbourne love additional books and harvey norman vouchers.

They should bin the so called "actual contracts" that players are on and assess the salary cap by applying market value.
No way any player stays on 250k/300k a year if another club is willing to pay 400k/500k.
Even if he has a contract we have seen how easy players jump ship and get early releases.

TPAs should never have been allowed to be a factor!

Its all a f***ing joke............................either bin the salary cap, or start applying a system that is fair and works!

The system is very broken but "The Powerbrokers" from the richest clubs will never allow it to be changed.

Huge penalty that.
Milked well.
Be a big call in a GF they probably wouldn't have the guts to make.

Sharks attack apart from lewis was pretty awful that second half. Not the same side as last year. Too many mistakes in them and no points

Can anyone explain to me how it is a good thing for NRL that 1 v 1 legs tackles are basically penalised, compared to 3 v 1 wrestlmania.

Gallen costs his team the game tonight with a classic tackle, then feels like he must hold the attacker down, because his quality tackle is not rewarded.

Obviously NRL HQ would prefer shoulder high 3 man tackles, whilst playing Bellamy Ball.

I thought it was a tough call but it should never have come to that.
The refs, touchies (and commentators) missed Townsend being way offside when Maloney put the chip kick round the halfway line.
It ultimately got the Sharks another set of six that led to Keary getting binned and then 14 all.
They missed a couple of old fashioned shepherds too.

Geez the game was easier to watch when 'obstructions ' were called shepherds.
They've got way too cute for themselves and they know not how to handle it.
