I'm pretty fucking sick of these defensive lapses.

Happens every week.

Pitiful goal line defense.

When you're up 6 and you decline the chance to go up 8, you have to score - not fucking drop the ball on play 2

Knights defense in the middle cost them that game. Blokes fucking falling off tackles all day.

2 losses at home in a row. We only lost 2 at home all year last season.

That's 3 times this season we have pissed away decent leads.

The NRL loses cred as a legit league. 3 of the last 9 premiers have been null and voided. That's a 1/3 FAIL rate.

League is now a tweener sport between Union and the WWF.

If they come out and say they have gone through (with a fine tooth comb) every other club's books before announcing this, then there's some legitimacy left to build on. If not, who knows who else has cheated.

And if I'm a Storm player, why risk injury for a nothing season?

If I'm a Storm player, I say I want out because the club breached my contract. But that only works for the innocent ones

To be fair look at who they have lost over the past 4 years and that's the reason why not many would have suspected them rorting the cap

But besides Israel Folau they were able to retain three of the most sought after players in the game - Slater, Inglis and Smith, AND re-sign Cooper Cronk while they were at it.

Compare that to the number of players Brisbane has had to let go in recent years. Sure none of them as big in status or paypacket as that Storm trio but when you add them all up the Broncos have watched more $$$ walk out their doors than the Storm have.

How is it that Brisbane just couldn't compete with Canterbury, Souths, the AFL ect when it came to keeping Hunt, Hannant, Ennis, Stagg, Taylor, Boyd, Eastwood, Berrigan, Civonacieva ect, yet Melbourne had no troubles keeping Inglis, Slater, Smith and Cronk all fat and giggly ?

I remember it being odd when I first started watching league about 10 years ago, and after a couple of seasons, I wondered why the Broncos didn't win the finals every year because basically their team was made up of QLD Origin players.

If this proves out to be the case, then league should just back off and find some middle ground compromise.

Just sit back and wait until this proposed NRL commission takes over the running of the competition. Thats when we'll see the beginning of the end to this fcuking nonsense of players having to be paid way under their market value.

Look, I didn't know shit about the insides or nuances of the league or behind the scenes a few years back, but even I could tell the salary cap was way too constrictive.

I take it the players don't have a union?

the players have a union, but they're still bound by the rules of the competition they play in.
