The NRL Season of 2016
-
<p>Fair bit of head-scratching in the media over here about Tui getting left out, especially for Wright who was terrible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Manly's season continued in a familiar fashion as they lost out to the Cowboys last night. Highlight was Taumalolo running through the player masquerading as Brett Steward like he wasn't there. It's the most casual bump off you'll ever see. </p> -
<p>Robson released. Thank fuck. </p>
-
<p>wait, what time is it? Because that will depend on whether he is staying or going.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>No one has a fucking clue. I found it a little distasteful that there were Aus journos staking out his village and hitting up locals to get a hint. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>He's due back at training tomorrow, so that should give some indication</p> -

<p>Anyone worked out what's actually happening with Radradradradradradra?</p>

<p>These unconfirmed bits of speculation might give some insight. i guess with tomorrow being D day for his return to training at Paramatta a good indication one way or the other will be able to be drawn on.</p>

<p>Bit harsh. He was only at the club for six months. Thought he might be a good crutch for SJ but turned out to be the complete opposite. Dunno who the Warriors will turn to if SJ or TL go down since Cappy will probably bench Lolohea either way.</p> -

Hmm... Doesn't look promising, but I'm still hoping he'll stay. Entertaining to watch, and great to hear the Oz commentators calling his name
-
<p>pfffft hahaha desperate much? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Semi is still in Fiji, and won't make training today. Brad Arthur has given him another couple of days off.</p>

<p>hahaha oh Parra are so fucked. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Foran hasn't been doing what he is supposed to with his shoulder rehab, so they've had to officially strip him of the captaincy, issue him a breach of contract notice, and some say fine him as well. Rumour is they are angling to tear up his contract. </p> -

Fair to say the Warriors dodged a bullet there then -

<p>He looks done which is a shame for the Kiwis (unless Te Maire Martin kicks on).</p> -
<p>Becoming easier for the Eels to get under the salary cap...</p>

Bring back Benji for the Aussie test and 4 Nations.....
-
<p>Jamie Soward has been released by the Panthers to Superleague. Penrith looks set to ride with Nathan Cleary & Te Maire Martin in 2017.....</p>
-
<p>not a bad option really, they're both pretty handy. </p>
-
So Semi returned to Australia and was immediately arrested for beating up his missus. <br><br>
The cynic in me wonders at the timing. Nothing said until he threatens to leave the NRL? -
There's a thread for that ...<br><br>

<p>Parramatta signs the great Jeff Robson to led the Blue & Gold to NRL victory. They still haven't been docked all their points.</p>
