<p>Sucker. :(</p>

<p>It appears the curse of the Warriors has already struck RTS - he did one real good thing all weekend and made <strike>schoolboy</strike> Warrior errors.</p> -
<p>Considering that the Warriors nearly missed the playoff section I'm pleased with their first hit out of 2016. SJ looks back on track and no injuries which is the main thing. </p>

<p>Bloody typical Warriors season, clamped down into a couple of days. They looked awesome against the Titans, but clueless, toothless and shite against the Eels. That final was a bit embarrassing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Big ups to Daryl Halligan. For an old dude, he's still got the chops, showed up Thurston, Johns easily. Spencer was shite, I blame that hideous goatee. As for Mal, I worried for those jeans.</p> -

<p>I see in the Sydney press this morning there's a report that last season 13 of the 16 NRL clubs ran an operational loss, combined operational losses of over A$42 million. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Warriors, Broncos and Souths the only teams to turn an operational profit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There seems to be blame attributed to non-player costs blowout.</p>

<p>Not surprised Parramatta is the worst performing club. Those poor bastards are still paying out contracts for players who won them the wooden spoon several years ago.</p> -

<p>And $50,000 to Hayne.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Penrith also posted a substantial loss presumably related to the costs of feeding Phil Gould's tremendous ego.</p> -

<p>Yep, presumably as a good will gesture for when he inevitably returns. Does not count against the cap I believe.</p> -
<p>World team defeats the Indigenous team 12-8 at Suncorp Stadium. More importantly Konrad looked good and even grabbed a try for the World team.</p>

<p>I guess the cost of brown bags has exploded in recent years</p>
