He is 27, he is experienced, he is, as you say, a level below rep standard. He doesn’t have major injury concerns and has another 100 games ahead of him

Based on supply and demand for these type of players he will get paid

They can say what they would like, but the NRL do the draw, with the main goal giving every team a minimum number of prime time games. The Qld derby was obviously a game the NRL wanted on prime time. The Titans are again on next Thursday, and that will be their 3rd and final prime time game this year

NRL NEWS: Lodge quits the Warriors, Best's gruesome elbow injury, Ray Warren may not return for 100th Origin

He thought he was returning to New York, not New Zealand

Feel free to point out where I “worship” Ray Warren, or even said anything positive about him. My opinion of him has not changed from the time he coached me to today. I won’t hold my breath waiting for it though. My post was a comment on Thompson, not Warren

I know tickets on the anti-Gould bandwagon are cheap and widely available, and snapped up readily by those who get told what to think, but don’t expect me to apologies for stating facts and opinions different to yours. I have seen how Gould works, I know the opinion his peers have of him, I know he is the sounding board for many in the game.

but he is still better then Matt Thompson

'You had to be a smartarse': Dear Paul Vaughan, just like NRL players not all journos are 'the worst people'

Knights looked good, got over the line a few times. But that, coupled with Reynolds out, made them complacent and they paid the price

Vaughan is an idiot, but journalists are overly precious

NRL Power Rankings: New face at top and, no, Bulldogs still aren't bottom of the barrel

The Warriors have twice as many wins and have nearly scored twice as many points as the Dogs, yet the Dogs are somehow ahead. And that is after the Dogs were beaten by double digits by the 14th ranked team, and the Warriors were beaten 2 points by the 8th ranked team

There is no credible analysis that has any team other then the Bulldogs ranked 16th
