I'm angry at the waste of money. Hopefully they're paying $30,000 and tigers $570,000. Silly Tigers.

I don't care about the money, can we make it a 3 for 1 deal and throw in Anasta and Blair? e: Lote posted:“I'm really excited to be back and to be part of a club that's on the way up”

Mills posted:Tyrone Peachey In all seriousness Tyrone Peachey is loving good, not the biggest second rower going around but extremely skillful and looks a natural like his uncle. I'm pissed we let him go to the Panthers, Bukuya to the Warriors and we gain Matt Prior... Can't keep them all unfortunately

Those were some real good juniors. I would have let Tupou go in order to keep one of them. You have an aging second row in Lewis, Heighno and Tupou.

So here's the kind of schedule Wigan has at the start of this year: Feb 7: UK season opener (in the newly renamed First Utilities Super League) v Huddersfield (a semi-traditional match between the league winners and GF winners) Feb 12: Tune-up game/reunion with Sam Tomkins v NZ Warriors at Hamilton Feb 22: World Club Challenge v Cunts at SFS Mar 2: Home FU Super League game v Wakefield Trinity (they were supposed to also play at Widnes during their trip overseas, but that'll get rescheduled, likely during a Challenge Cup weekend) And, as a British league fan, despite the fact that they're Wigan and all, I will be backing them to beat the Roosters, because they are the much lesser of two evils in this situation.

Everybody is the lesser of evils when compared to the Roosters. Anyone else liking the jerseys for the 9s teams? The Titans' one is so much better than their actual new jerseys for this year I'm jealous.

http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/nrl-changes-rules-to-cut-timewasting-says-todd-greenberg-20140125-31ffg.htmlquote:Zero tackle from 20-metre restart: The first tackle after a 20-metre optional kick will be called a zero tackle. The rule change provides an extra tackle to discourage tactical kicks and negative play when the ball is kicked dead to slow down the game and deny wingers and fullbacks the chance to return kicks. These changes are a lot more sweeping than I expected. I was only expecting them to address stopping the clock for kicks at goal late in the game. I'd want to see how these work out in actual games before passing judgement, but replacing scrums in a couple of instances seems odd and I don't see why a zero tackle is needed for the 20 metre restart.

Yeah, I'm not sure about some of those changes. I'll need to see them in action to have more of an opinion, but I do like the attempts to stop the time wasting in the last five minutes. Of course, they could just stop the clock at all conversions, but that's a lot to ask.

You forgot: ''It'll no longer be permitted [at the penalty] for a captain to rush up to talk to the referee. There'll be ample opportunity for them to do that in a structured manner. One of those times will be at half-time as they walk off the field." Good things for teams having to play the Bulldogs, Manly or Storm

That should be easy, the ref can just shout "play on" after a quick tap. It'll be on the whingeing captain to get back into position or leave his team a man short on defence.

I have this weird feeling that they're building to some epic debauchery, possibly at the Nines. This could get ugly...
