The painful wait between the end of the Big Bash and the start of footy season is almost done.
I see the league have finally got off their asre and are putting a salary cap on "football departments". Been a bug bear of mine for years, they put salary caps on players and coaches get paid $2m plus and send the club broke which was what they were trying to avoid with player overpayments.
Should be a negative for the Broncos so that's good for football (first sledge)

In no particular order, I'd like to see:
- the Knights play better
- Manly make the eight against the odds
- Storm win the spoon
- Mitchell Pearce do OK
- not talk about refereeing
- Cameron Smith pass the ball backwards once or twice

You're list is a tough act to follow, no chance although Pearce will probably play origin.

This is an interesting, but strange development. I would think a business enterprise should be able to spend their budget any way they like, and if they go broke as a result, so be it. Originally Posted by PerryGroves

My firm suspicion is that the Knights aren't a rubbish team because of their support staff, and the Sharks didn't win the comp because of their support staff.
I don't really have a wishlist. i always want Manly to win the spoon. But I do want Jason Taylor to be first coach sacked, and I think he will be."There are 50 things to remember in the golf swing. Trouble is that I can only remember 49 of them" - Bob Hope.

I want Broncos on TV every Friday night. Helps to start the weekend off great.
First round sucks as I think we are on Thursday night.

Tough opening few rounds for the Brons. Won't kick start your weekends if they are 0-6. Originally Posted by backintheswing

The Broncos had revenue of $42mil last year. They'll still find ways to spend it regardless of what the NRL put caps on. The massive new training facility they're building across the road is a reasonable start. That might use up a chunk of their cash reserves, but I'm sure uncle Rupert's accountants will find something clever to do with the rest.

So, after almost two rounds, I can write off the season already.
After tipping 4 last week, I've got 1 so far this round.
In my fantasy team, three of my stars didn't make half time. I'm gawwn.
It hurts my head to think about this, but bear with me.
Parra beat Manly by 10 points.
Souths beat Manly by 20 points. So Souths are 10 points better than Parra.
Wests beat Souths by 20 points. So Wests must be 30 points better than Parra.
Penrith just beat Wests by 40 points, so they must be 70 points better than Parra.
St George beat Penrith by 20 points, so St George must be 90 points better than Parramatta. Get on now for pick the score/margin.
By the way, I've tipped Parra, so that is an even greater burden for them to overcome."There are 50 things to remember in the golf swing. Trouble is that I can only remember 49 of them" - Bob Hope.

After a miserable tipping week last week I've raced to the top of the comp with some bold tips this week.

At least there was some niggle and agro in tonight's game - NRL is fast becoming as boring to watch as soccer.

Lol, by the end of the week...
In all fairness, I'm biased as I went to school with him but it's not entirely his fault. They have 4-5 guys wanting contract upgrades of $600k + that aren't worth 1/2 that. All posers if you ask me, no ticker....

Good to see the Broncos get another Friday night prime time home game with an 8 day break, against a team that played on Sunday and has to travel.
