To be fair, the alternative is playing for the Warriors.

Adam is a wonderful example of how a player should go about his business in the NRL
He probably isn't hanging around for 2018, but it has been pointed out that he doesn't have a manager right now. He cut ties with his previous management team around the time he left Parramatta, and his deal with the Warriors was negotiated with assistance from his godfather. His godfather is a lawyer based in Auckland, but has made it clear that he is not Foran's manager.

The more I learn about NRL contract negotiations the more amazed I am that we have as few scandals or corruptions as we do.

Then I do any legal work in the real world and realise the whole loving show is a nightmare of incompetence held together by our shared delusions.

Although less people I know in the real world drink their own piss or gently caress dogs, so I guess the NRL is slightly worse than the outside world.

Oops nrl reportedly have evidence of Simona betting on opposition players to score on him, life ban incoming.

I'm conflicted - he was probably my favourite player to watch, and I've been on the Simona bandwagon since his debut, but his career probably deserves to be over after that if it's true. It's a waste of talent.

Also, thread title.

That's almost exactly my opinion. I've loved watching him playing over the years but if this proves to be true he's as good as dead to me. It's beyond terrible.

Having watched their games in it I think it's entirely accurate to say they took part, but nothing more.

Castleford are playing must watch footy atm btw.

Cas are good, but Leeds are terrible. I can't believe they haven't brought in some players this year, it seems like terrible mismanagement. Anyone know better?

Leeds should be shot en masse.

Mismanagement would be accurate here. Our coach Brian McDermott seems inept and it's painfully obvious that all the reports and talk of Peacock and Sinfield doing the actual coaching in the middle of games are true. Soon as both of those retire we look flat in attack, lost of any ideas and our last tackle play is atrocious. We only just held on against Leigh (one of, if not the weakest team in the league) two weeks ago and we were lucky to score a try with 20 seconds left on the clock to beat a weak Salford side at home last week. So the Castleford result has been coming.

Fans have been calling for McDermott's head since last season and his lack of major signings over the preseason has reinforced those calls. Fans know the owners have cash to throw because we're the best supported team in the country, and we were ready to pay for sam burgess for a year if the rabbitohs couldn't afford him after he split from union. Parcell has been good for us but he was only signed because Segeyaro decided he didn't want to play for us a few weeks after signing a new contract. It's almost as if McDermott knows that the only reason we won so much previously was because of Sinfield/Peacock/Leuluai rather than anything he did and he wants to prove people wrong. He's failing miserably at it. gently caress. :negative:
