Cheap buy for the knights, if anyone can get the best of players before, in or after their prime its Bennett sure mason won’t step in and be a shoe in for the Dally M; he was brought in to do the hard work that some players aren’t doing.
Mason has a point to prove: Lewis
No way hayne gets picked at number 6 for origin, injuries and lack of form suggest otherwise. stuart would be stupid to put him there; there are a number of good halves the NSW team have available Mullen, Carney, Pearce, Soward thet just need to pick a combination and stick with it.
How to win Origin? Play players in their positions
If the television deal for the idris went through, would he be entitled to all the money if the show was profitable or would it be a 50/50 deal?
Remember Jamal Idris's TV deal?
The tigers need a consistent goal kicker, benji isn’t a specialist goal kicker. every point counts.
Undisciplined Tigers fail, and keep on failing
Good article, implementing a draft or transfer window won’t stop players jumping ship and joining a new team. The current system has everyone in a state of hysteria crying foul with players like Idris and Taylor (Titans), Maloney (Roosters), Hopoate (Eels), Brown (Penrith) and Scott (Newcastle) all signing with teams a whole year in advance, while under contract with their current teams, although a legal practice the commission should consider a transfer window or a free agency type concept used by numerous sports worldwide.
The NBA use a 13 day free agency period in the off-season where restricted and un-restricted players enter the free agency period as free agents with un-restricted players free to negotiate with teams as they please and restricted players free to negotiate with other teams; with their current team able to match the offer the other team submits.
Fact: One of your favourite NRL players will leave your club
“The AFL quite deliberately ensures new clubs to get preferential treatment” i was quoting Ryan and using the GWS and GC win/loss tally as a point of reference that “preferential treatmant” for new clubs giving my argument against the commission assisting the Titans the “AFL” way.
NRL should follow AFL's example and prop up Gold Coast
Great article mate, I disagree about having the commission stepping in and giving the Gold Coast Titans assistance. The debt itself as you point out in the article, is if I’m correct; the “property arm” of the Titans organisation and not the club itself.
The commission and the NRL as a collective don’t have the sources to invest in the future with the AFL receiving $150 million dollars in their latest Broadcasting Rights deal sold to Mobile, Internet, Television and Media outlets giving the AFL the means and resources to ensure the survival and dominance over rival codes.
You say “The AFL quite deliberately ensures new clubs to get preferential treatment” the Western Sydney Giants and the Gold Coast Suns were given extra funds, draft picks and practically bank rolled by the AFL. Sadly to say the teams combined have a Win/Loss tally of 3 wins and 20 losses in 23 games, with Collingwood finishing the 2011 season with 20 wins and 2 losses in 22 games with 13 other teams finishing with 4+ Wins out of the 22 game season. So it would seem that the AFL is at a loss, but with their investment they’ve introduced 2 new teams bringing numerous benefits for the sport, cities and the economy.
The NRL and the Independent Commission need to negotiate a Broadcast Rights deal the same if not more than the AFL’s deal if they intend of following the AFL’s future investment plan. The Gold Coast Titans are in some form of debt in the organisation it is their mistake. They should have made sure the all costs involved would be covered.
I read in a news article that the Central Coast Bears bid had a $50 million dollar war chest to bank roll the team, signed a coach and players intending to sign if the NRL accepted the bid, when the Broadcast Rights deal is done the commission should introduce the Central Coast Bears
Until a better deal is done, the Titans need to “fend for themselves” just like the other 15 teams
NRL should follow AFL's example and prop up Gold Coast
Implementing a Draft day trade and future picks in my mind would be beneficial for the AFL, if a team plays their cards right they would be able to free up space in their salary cap, offload players from their team lists and if trading future draft picks; a draft pick in a future draft.
For teams re-building this would be great for them it would just be up to the front office of each team to make the deals and get the ball rolling.
Fremantle Dockers
Trading: Zac Clarke, Peter Falks
2013 Draft Pick, 2014
West Coast Eagles
Trading: Luke Shuey
Now this trade is just an example I doubt that the eagles would want to trade Luke Shuey, but this is how a proposed draft day trade would look, where ever the dockers place and would pick the eagles having traded shuey would get 2 extra picks.
AFL must allow trading on draft day and future picks
