@Sneakdefreak ah, had totally forgotten Hiku was in the mix.
-
It doesn't really matter. This is the Warriors. We had a decent season last year. Meaning this year we are back to bottom 4 territory.
Ciiiiiircle of liiiiiife
-
Robert Jennings, the current best of the Jennings boys, strangely doesn't actually have a contract for 2019.
-
Things not looking rosy for Shaunie J - Sharks may have to release him due to serious salary-cap issues.
Salary cap probe could force Cronulla Sharks to cut star signing Shaun Johnson

The Warriors have space in their cap and a big whole in the halves.

This game confuses me, so they can use all reserves and apparently there was some kind of voting for selection of the team? @Sneakdefreak can you confirm either of these?
Anyway, I haven't watched an Indigenous v All Stars game in years, but will be watching this one for obvious reasons.

@Nepia It's only a pre-season game so I think it's unlimited subs. Fans could vote for the All Stars but I suspect the teams were decided by the NRL clubs themselves.

You'd think Hiku would be at 6 if the clubs were deciding ....

@Nepia The Knights want to try Ponga in the halves and he was going to play in this game to please his father so....

If he really wanted to please his father he'd play for the Kiwis. I should have tripped him over in Palmy when I had the chance (even as a little ginga running around he was being talked up back then).
Pack adv to Maori and backs adv to Indigenous.

It's churlish of me but, haha sucked in Shaun
Gagai is a Maori?
-
Not sure if that's local or long haul but he'll have a lot of time to reflect on his fuck up(s). Good to see the club was still involved and helping him and his family out. No mention about any charges being pressed against him??

Donāt think his new work mates will let him drive their wives home..

Wait, who are we talking about? Edit: Ignore that, SJ is doing better than Barba ... clearly my brain has switched off as I'm not working today.
@mariner4life Gagai is MÄori from his mother's side.

Ben Barba

I have no knowledge of Barba's circumstances, but if there was not already a domestic violence order in place it is unlikely he will be charged with anything unless the missus makes a criminal complaint against him. If there are no crimimal complaints and no orders already in place worse case for him is police applying for DV Protection Order.
-
The Ben Barba story is bad but the Jack de Belin story is even worse.
I hadn't really caught up with this until today but de Belin, a key forward for the Dragons, is up in court on rape charges of a 19 year-old woman. His mate is also facing similar charges.
The NRL and Dragons have allowed him to keep training and play in any games.
If the NRL's marketing strategy is "there is no such thing as bad publicity" then they're having a doozy this off-season.
