He apparently played junior footy at #6 is the reason it's being mentioned as an option. Your lineup is much more likely.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL @ the Sharks.
Is it possible for Paul Gallen to become more of a grub?
Did LOL at some bloke on Facebook calling for them to be stripped of their spoons. :lol:
Might be time to wind up the club. Bring in a team for Ippy.

So glad to see Simmo top of the try sorting charts. That guy has worked so hard and has overcame more than his fair share of injuries! Such a genuine and nice bloke too.

LULZ Quote:[size=6] Canterbury star Ben Barba's $1 million asking price 'ridiculous', say Brisbane Broncos[/size] BRONCOS legend Darren Lockyer says Ben Barba is not worth $1 million a season as Brisbane boss Paul White labelled his asking price "ridiculous". The protracted Barba saga appears headed for resolution, with Canterbury CEO Raelene Castle indicating the Bulldogs board would finalise the matter within 10 days. Reports have indicated Barba's management is seeking a seven-figure package, comprising a base salary of $500,000 annually plus a similar amount in marquee and third-party agreements. Former Broncos skipper Lockyer says Barba's talent is unquestionable, but believes he must do more to enter the same earnings stratosphere as Test stars Johnathan Thurston, Greg Inglis and Billy Slater. "He is unproven at five-eighth and that sort of money ($1 million) is excessive," Lockyer said. "We all know what Ben Barba is capable of and we have seen glimpses of it this year, but he is not at that level yet to command that sort of money. Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar. End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar. "That is the money you give to guys like Thurston, Inglis and Slater, and Barba is not at that level yet. "He is a great talent but he has yet to play Origin or Test football. That needs to be put into perspective. "If Ben Barba wants to come to Queensland for family, that should be his priority — not how much money he can get." The 24-year-old's current Bulldogs deal is worth an estimated $350,000 annually and it is believed the Broncos will table a similar offer, excluding a proposed transfer fee to Canterbury. The Broncos remain front-runners to secure Barba from next year, but White scoffed at the prospect of paying the reigning Dally M Medallist $1 million a season. "That is a ridiculous proposition and one we would not even contemplate, simple as that," White said. "To be fair on Ben, the amount of rumours out there without substance is grossly unfair as there are personal issues at stake here. "I don't know where the rumours come from, but they (Barba's management) shouldn't consider talking to us if that's what they are asking. "It's ludicrous for anyone to be talking about us paying Ben Barba $1m a season. "If Ben wants to come to our club it would be on the grounds that he wants to play for our club and he is prepared to come here on reasonable terms that we both agree on. "If money is the priority, Ben needs to look at another club." Castle said she expected a definitive call on Barba, who has requested a release, to arrive soon. "There are a number of stakeholders to get across, but I would think in the next seven to 10 days we will have a firm position of where we are at," Castle said. "Player welfare is a hugely important element and that will ensure Ben plays at his best. That is an important part of our consideration, no doubt about that. "Des (Hasler, Bulldogs coach) is a critical stakeholder. "Ultimately, the board has the decision to allow Ben out of his contract, but Des, who needs to put together the best team he can, and our fans, need to be considered in this process." http://www.foxsports.com.au/league/nrl-premiership/canterbury-star-ben-barbas-1-million-asking-price-ridiculous-say-brisbane-broncos/story-fn2mcuj6-1226702370126#.Uhazsz_QtUo

yer read it this morn - and spot on Lockyer, he's got a long way to prove himself yet. Sure the fapping was deserved of last season's break through for him and my how the wheels fell off since :lol: again sound true comments Lockyer. Oh by the way RB this morn also - Cherry Evans as you'd expect has refuted any issues with the Stuarts. He won't be heading up that way yet thats for sure. There was confrimation by your coach that Prince is still in for 2014 plans.

:lol: This DCE stuff is hilarious. Even if all this crap about a rift with the Stewart brothers was true, he sure as hell wouldn't be going to the Broncos.

Yea it would silly to pay that amount and I doubt we will. We do very well with our third party deals so cap wise it shouldn't be to bad. All up to Barba really, if he stays at the Bulldogs because the Broncos didn't want to pay him a massive pay rise he'll look like a right twat. Don't think he's ready to play at five-eighth either. :? I've been hearing some minor whispers about DCE for a while now, was quite surprised to see that story. Anyway if we get Barba and Milford I doubt we'd have any cap space left and not to mention Ben Hunt would be left to rot on the bench and I don't want that to happen. M.L. wrote:

Just hoping Hook isn't our coach next season. :lol: But I hope Prince stays, he's on virtually nothing as well. Anyway we just need to dump Wallace, Lui and Anderson. Should free up a decent amount of cap space.

Woeful game on Friday, I knew we were going to get beat. Segeyaro really showed Hook how to utilize a hooker off the bench. (Play fucking Granville) So sick of this one out forward bullshit as well. We better sack Kearney we've gone from having a top 4 defense to now having one of the worst in the comp.
We deserved to lose but the refs had a shocker. Really don't want to see this in the finals.
Wallace off to the Panthers but because of Hook's fuck up it looks like we'll be paying a portion of his salary.
Oh well at least I'm not a Raiders fan. :lol: :lol:

Anyone who thinks the Storm aren't the team to beat are in Disneyland, the Roosters, Rabbitohs and Eagles aren't far behind but Melbourne play perfect finals footy.

Look there's no doubting of the Storms ability but come on it was parra. Bunnies and the chook packs won't be letting the storm pack its own way the entire game, nor the eagles to a lesser degree. Whats really good for the nrl this season 4 teams are pretty rounded - imagine the boil over one or 2 of them knocked out by the bottom half of the 8, stranger things happen come play off time.

Prince set to retire at the end of the year. :(
Will go out playing his 300th match. =d>
Still can't believe he'll end up playing 300 matches, a top bloke and a legend of the game.

Good luck to Prince - he's been an honest toiler, best playing days at the tigers without a doubt and stellar effort carrying the titans.

It's crazy to think what was viewed as our top 3 playmakers by Hook in Wallace, Prince and Norman won't be here next season. Can see us going into the next season with Hunt, Barba and Taylor as our playmakers. ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) Oh well I guess we can see plenty of DCE speculation over the next couple of months as well.

The NRL has moved next Monday's game between the Eels and the Dragons from ANZ Stadium to Parramatta Stadium due to the possibility of playing in an almost empty ANZ Stadium.

I don't see how Monday night football was going to be a success in the first place. I think you'd be better off scraping it, and putting on Thursday night football. That would work better. Mind you, I went to the Dragons-Bulldogs game 3 weeks ago, and that was a decent crowd for a Monday night.
WOLLONGONG WOLVES FOR A-LEAGUE EXPANSION!
