Could be any of the clubs.
I could write the same thing and in a week its forgotten about, in the off chance a team gets done during the year for going over I can say see I told you.

It is the Lurker, what is his ratio of him breaking a story thats true before anyone else.

Very poor , he's the Jurker not the Lurker, all he does is Jerk chains!!
 
I am hearing that a certain rugby league "journalist" might be looking for a new home in 2017....well I am not but it is aboit as credible as most of the crap that the lurker posts

Stuff like this just annoys me. I had a hunt through his/her old articles are there are so many vague statements and half truths

Only thing he does is Lurks on sites like this and picks up BS rumours.

The RLW Mole is more often on the money, but I don't even bother opening up or reading the Jurker.

I struggle to see how after we have let released so many players in the past 18months, re-signed less players than we have let go, no $$ owing to Choc etc.

Releasing contracted players doesn't absolve us from our obligations to that player under the contract. Any monies owed to the player are still owed and are also included in the cap. A club releases a player in the hope that he is picked up by another club so that the financial obligation is reduced. More often than not a player released by a club continues to be a burden on its bottom line, and its salary cap, until the contract expires.
 
In a few articles we've been called the cashed up Sea Eagles. Can't be cashed up if having cap dramas.

Nostradamus did it better. Maybe the Lurker should be using quatrains

Back in the 80's Nostradamus had predicted the end of the world through a tsunami - tidal wave back then - not really understanding the impacts of a catastrophic event, we kids brought surf boards and boogie boards to our school near Manly beach, to surf it. We didn't get to go surfing. Had to do freakin Maths instead.
That bloke was a bastard!😛
 
I once owned an Avis Rental Car Franchise, and did so from 1984 to 2001, and we tried just about every car known to the Australian market.

New brands especially would come to us with incredible deals, and trust me I got sucked into the Hyundai Excel Version 1.

Now don't get me wrong Hyundai are now a powerhouse, and make very good cars BUT the first ever offering in the Aussie market was a heap of absolute crap.

I seem to remember they retailed at the time at $9999, we bought them for $7k, and thought " we'll run these for 6 months and sell them for $8k".

Well apart from the money we had to pour into broken bits after six months they were sold off for $2500, we bought 10 of them, I reckon the total deal cost me about $60k in 1990 dollars ( maybe double that now).

Never stepped foot in a Hyundai dealer since !!

Over the course of 17 years , we had just about everything.

Years ago I asked my dad why he chose Mitsubishi tritons as his work force utes and he said he went to ford and asked for their very best price, they gave it, Mitsubishi were cheaper.

ford then told him that "aww c'mon, no one gives their best price first up." - which is probably true but dad was (is) a bit of an odd .....umm.... character.

I think at one stage he had 20 (poor ford sales guy) of them going around and they went ok.

Oh...I don't think we have salary cap issues.

I drove one once. It felt like the frame was made from drinking straws and the panels were aluminium foil.

Worst car ever. Incredible how good they now are.
