There's a lot of cloak and daggers with all this. We know Joseph Sua'ali'i is on about £750K a year, maybe more. That would put him number 4. He's certainly in the top 5 highest paid rugby players, but they can't officially announce it.

That's an amazingly tight score! Fair play AEK

Is there any update on this at all? Are there still negotiations ongoing, or was it killed off. Hoping the former as I have £99 in my pocket I would be desperate to spend on this subscription if it was signed.

Legend. Always comes across as a nice bloke, down to earth. And never seen him have a bad game for England.

But how great is it. ? They've been battering away at each other in Serbia for 20 years playing community rugby league, and over the past decade they've built on what they've got and promoted expansion to other neighboring countries. Its just amazing to see.

It is now I heard it as wild speculation a few weeks back now the raiders haveva large hole there next year. He's so good the nrl clubs must be sniffing around. In less troubled times I suspect there would be wild speculation he'd be going to union! Thank god that door's closed.

100% Next Canberra full back?

I'm just struggling to work out the angle for making money out of this.

Another great day in rugby league administration

Do bristol sonics still exist?

What does it mean when someone's profile name has a blue hand next to it. Ive seen it before but never understood what it was for.

Amazing. I mean there is positive bias for, or against, the super league and NRL, which is perfectly reasonable and open for debate. Then there is this level of hatred against anyone who doesn't play in super league. Part of the reason we are so sH1+.

I think that is the very reason they should be praised. They've been turning over a steady community comp for a couple of decades now. Where else in the world could claim that?

It's Euro xiii rebrabded. I'll open the popcorn. This'll be fun.

This is by far my favourite thread on this forum. I check in every couple of weeks all through the summer and get a warm content feeling. Keep up the great posts everyone.

I think it is the current fascination with having a ball playing 13. I'm still confused about this. Surely there have always been loads of 13s with great hands, and lots that are more about bashing it up the middle. Ball playing 13s are not a ne thing (although maybe they were out of fashion for 5, 10 years) But the oz media seems fixated with the idea that every team now needs a 13 that can act as a half back, so maybe the raiders have been spooked into putting Whitehead there? Do you remember when they put him at 7 a few years ago for a match? He was dreadful. I'm with you; he's a class second row and always has been. Leave him there.

"Herbie Farnworth has shown up and taught a lesson for Kotoni Staggs tonight"

Hodgson became the player he was in the NRL. Maybe SL fans are bias towards their own league.

Did Ottawa pay money for their licence? If so that must have been a nice little windfall.

The ground in Penzance is even nicer! And, in Cornwall perspective, a lot nearer.

Just heard former Arsenal goalkeeper and Grandstand stalwart Bob Wilson on R4. I'm sure I heard his obituary a few years ago. He sounds very alive and well!

Are you even allowed to pay players an compete in level 5 community leagues?

Yep. Saw that a while back and keeping quiet. Wanted to raise here but scared what people would say. What division are they in? No one seems to know. I posted a bit if a blind "are they starting a super league south" on another post but I'm sure that isnt what's going on. Not convinced there is a plan... Worried. So, now you've raised the semi pro post theyve put out there (with no indication of what league they'll be playing in for Jaguars hierarchy...) ...thoughts? Does anyone know their plan? What's happening with Bristol and All Golds (and Bath?) next season too?

Ah, sorry. They are calling themselves "Birmingham Moseley" for some reason now, so I thought you meant them

Ah, moseley. My old stomping ground before the kids and my move to the shires.
