In the salary cap? For a statue of a player who retired more than a decade ago?
Think that one through.

Oh, Colombia. Because cocaine is made there. And Andrew Johns admitted to using drugs.
I see what you did there.
Bravo.

Blake was at a different club (and a Kiwi international played centre in his place), D Brown had played a grand total of three first-grade games, and Evans didn’t play because he’d been dropped to reggies. The Storm didn’t beat an undermanned side, they flogged the best Parra had to throw at them (sans N Brown). Don’t kid yourself with false equivalence.

Where the coach chooses to play them doesn’t change the fact the choice of troops from Round 9 is essentially the same as this afternoon. The team that lost to the Storm were not viciously understrength.

Best comment ever.

You take “factionalised gang of old white men” wearing robes and come up with a guy born in Nazareth, who died at a young age, and his closest mates?

When you’ve got three years of history and two of them came up with wooden spoons, yes, 2016 matters.
More importantly than 2016 (which I noted but you’ve conveniently left out), they are the incumbent wooden spooners.
Don’t be disingenuous. The Sunwolves have been the worst team in the comp their whole history. That’s my point. It’s self-evident.

Dead last in 2016.
Second last in 2017.
Dead last in 2018.
Third last now 2019 (and were dead last leading into this round).
The Sunwolves are “an advertisement of what our sport can be”? Get a better agency.

By that logic, Cam Smith and Billy Slater aren’t Melbourne through and through.

“… make the decision to move home after things have run their natural course…”
My ‘hypocrisy’ is kind of the point.

“The NRL has confirmed it is investigating the Cronulla Sharks over alleged illegal payments to players during the 2015 and 2017 seasons.”

Sorry Cronulla, but violating the salary cap in the past isn't just a "historical issue"

Yeah, win the Tour de France seven times.
That’ll get you kicked out of sport for good.

I apologise for my shoddy maths (I’m going to blame it on the fact I don’t have all my fingers, which makes it hard for me to count).

Actually, Wales, England and Scotland are all countries. Great Britain is the name of the island they share. Four countries (Eng, Wal, Scot and N Ire) then form the United Kingdom.

Just a short geography lesson. Otherwise, your point regarding Unions stands.

It's time for an international window across all rugby leagues
