| What a coincidence that the day after Shaun Johnson wants out of the Warriors , suddenly Gareth Widdup, wants out of his 3 year contract , crystal ball says there has been a deal done already .Johnson in the red V for the next 3years . |

Johnson does not want out at the Warriors, the club wants to move him to free up money for his replacement. I am hearing that the new Zealand half back, Kodi Nikorima, has a clause, saying he can leave the Broncos, with a change in coach, and he is looking to exercise the clause. If Widdup goes the Dragons are no chance next season! ------------- Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise |

Widdop is a gun, but this is his last chance to cash in, so his manager will do what he has to do! I recently saw on Fox, a feature, which just showed ALL of Billy Slater's career tries. Wow - it must be said, he WAS pretty good Slater, much as I hate The Melbourne Fraud from top to bottom! It was interesting in that I had almost forgotten that Widdop was ex-Fraud ... anyway, whilst he was there, in that package, I reckon he was involved in almost 3 out of every 4 tries that Slater scored. Agreed V, Dragons will struggle without him. ------------- In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ...

The only thing that saves Bennett at Souths are the Burgess boys. If they can swing the other lads, then no problems, but if Inglis and Reynolds say to the group, forget what the old man says, do it this way, that will send them packing. What has been said here is correct, Bennett has passed his use by date. Expecting Jack Bird to be allowed to fly now, Pengai Jr will follow Bennett and with Darius on the down hill slide, and Gillett coming back from a serious injury, the Broncos look bottom eight material to me next season. Not sure why you would pay a million for Seibold either. I mean at least Maguire won a premiership for the Bunnies. ------------- Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise |

What sort of contract would Souths offer him? He had one more year at the Broncos and at his age, probably the end. He may extend his career by a couple of years with this, if the joint doesn't fall apart around him, amid all the gigantic egos at Souths. ------------- |

Shrunk - he was going for the double dip. It all backfired when he dishonoured his contract at the broncos by talking to Souths players while he was still in charge of the broncos - that's why he was sacked and forfeited his contract.

Manly Sea Eagles player Dylan Walker has been charged with assaulting his fiancee at a home on the Northern Beaches on Thursday evening. Just after 5pm, police were called to the home in Dee Why. They found a 24-year-old woman with "minor cuts to her shoulder, leg and feet," NSW Police said in a statement. She was treated at the scene by paramedics. Walker, 24, was arrested at the home and taken to Manly police station where he was charged with domestic-related common assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Police also applied for an AVO to protect Walker's fiancee, Alexandra Ivkovic, a former Miss Universe Australia finalist who gave birth to the couple's son in July. He was granted conditional bail and will appear in Manly Local Court next Tuesday. The Sea Eagles centre was driven away from Manly Police Station by coach Des Hasler after being granted bail. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-player-dylan-walker-charged-with-assaulting-fiance-20181207-p50krh.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-player-dylan-walker-charged-with-assaulting-fiance-20181207-p50krh.html ------------- |

Who says the NRL has had a serious problem, largely papered over, since time immemorial?  Zane Musgrove has become the second NRL player in a 24-hour period to be charged with assaulting a woman. The 22-year-old allegedly indecently assaulted a 22-year-old woman at a licensed venue in Coogee, Sydney, at about 12:30am on Saturday, November 24. The woman reported the alleged incident to security and later made a report to Eastern Beaches Police Area Command. On Wednesday detectives charged the West Tigers player with an act of indecency and aggravated indecent assault (offender in company). On Thursday, they charged another 22-year-old man with assault and an act of indecency, aggravated indecent assault (offender in company) and common assault.(ie Dylan Walker already reported on here). |

All these programs they run at the clubs , trying to teach these blokes that assaulting a female is wrong, and you are high profile and so going to get caught out, doesnt seem to be doing much good does it ? Maybe they need to take another path and tell them " dont do it , but if you do, you are gone ". No club support and contracts torn up. No matter how fast you can run, and how good you can tackle , and how good you can kick a ball, stuff up and you can get a job as a brick layer or digging ditches. Strike one and you are out. But the clubs are too weak to do it. They want to keep any neanderthal that can help them win a premiership, no matter what they do. ------------- animals before people. |

The NRL need to take a stand and start booting guys out who do d!ckhead stuff, anything involving violence minimum 2 season ban from ALL levels of Rugby League, life ban for a second offense. Letting guys like Lodge and Packer back in after violent offenses sends the image that the NRL doesn't consider it that big a deal. One only has to look at the social media reaction to Jack De Bellin yesterday to see the public perception of NRL players. |

Is it the responsibility of the girls, whose motives are clearly to have a good time and get high profile scalps, or the player to say no? These girls dont know, or if they do, they dont care about marital or relationship status, they just want the scalp in a hotel room, a carpark or a toilet. They dont care.

Obviously aa, she thought that she was the victim and if she withdrew the statement the charges would be dropped, but she obviously does not know that once a third party gets involved it does not matter if the statement is withdrawn, the charges stay and the case goes ahead. And the third party here were the witnesses who called the cops. I find it absolutely illogical, that the Players Association have negotiated a 29% share of the broadcast money (remember the players threatened to strike during the season), and the players accepted responsibility for the sports image, yet the NRL do not have a clause in there saying that any of this off field bull#@it, means you forfeit the 29% share. ------------- Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise |
