States that he's just left Penrith and signed a lucrative five year deal with West's.

That would be like leaving Wigan/Saints and signing for Cas. FFS!!

The salary cap seems to actually work in the NRL.

Penrith have lost Koroisau, Kikau, Kurt Capewell, Matt Burton, S Crichton and now Luai to clubs further down the table.

They’ve chosen to pay Cleary, Yeo, Martin and Edwards.

The most Penrith could offer Luai was 800k but he’s getting about 1.2mill a season for the Tigers

Penriths youth system keeps finding new talent though.


Very rare a players you’d like to keep goes to a club at the bottom of SL.

Slightly veering OT but I can’t find the answer anywhere else. Thinking of taking my 3yr old to his first England game, I know Wigan I can take him for free but does the same stand for England or am I having to pay £13.50 for his ticket too? (I won’t be doing the latter)

I recommend that you give this a watch as it is a great insight on how the club handles players contracts come renewal time etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ychi2j4 ... 37E8JGicy9

It’s a great podcast generally. It also pretty much 100% confirms there will be no World Club Challenge this year despite the calls for it at the NRL Magic Weekend.
