Its not inside info it was in the news, saying someone earns more than someone 50 years ago is madness, the game wasnt professional then and was 50 years ago.

hi Pieman, thanks for your comments, i don't know how old you are, you might need to ask your dad or grandad about it, or better still ask Rogues, I think he was the editor.

Grandads have passed cheers anyway, Im 32 so maybe a little less p*** taking as your comment doesnt make any sense as Tallis isnt so old. Or did you just want to try and act funny and try and trip me up due to you being far older. |

Sorry about your grandad, and I apologise if I've offended you, I certainly did not intend to do that. "Billys Weekkly Liar" was a send up "paper" that was sold mainly around Blackpool many years ago, hence my reference to it. |

The days of rugby leauge being able to compete with union(with or without a cap)are unfortunatley long gone
Union offers players a bigger national profile,more money from tv revenue and most importantly the prospect of a competitive european and worldwide competition,imo leauge is far better to watch but it looks like were in the minority

Sorry, but don't agree. Storm paid more to keep the top Aussie talent at their club. They already had the talent. Where is the UK talent that clubs are dying to keep hold of and need the extra money for. If the salary cap was raised it would just be spent on more aussies. Clubs should spend more on helping to develop the young 'uns and hire the coaches etc that can help them develop as players... If we had 14 Michael Maguires coaching all the clubs in Superleague and England, then i'm sure we'd have gotten closer during this years 4 nations, that's for sure... |

Slater, Inglis, Smith and Cronk all made there first grade debuts for the Storm, as well as the likes of Folau, Quinn and Blair as well as Matt King and Dallas Johnson who have since moved on |

Really, Inglis was a Beisbane product wasnt he?....Just because they sign them pro doesnt make them a product of the club. In fact smith and Cronk both came through in the Queensland cup for Brisbane. They signed pro for them but werent products of the Storm.

Doesn that mean that we can't claim we brought through the likes of McIlorum and Mossop? |
