It does seem to suggest from his social media that Brown will only be here for the 1 year - with his Mrs flying back this week to continue her career over there and them having to have a long distance relationship

New captain?

Heard a rumour that he will be joining Melbourne for 2025.

They wanted him this year but didn’t have the cap space.

Think the signings esp the overseas ones will be good

Its the players already here that will be our undoing

And if he does it is what it is...we have to get used to the fact that any NRL signing below 30 whos any good will try and use SL to get a better deal back home. Its either that or sign an over 30 and hope their knees are still alright and they can be bothered.

That is why the salary cap either needs increasing or scrapping

All its done is hold super league back

Every other sport doesn't have the same salary level they had in 1999/2000

Yet we do

Do you ever actually research anything?

The cap was 1.6m in 2004, now is 2.1, add in 3 marquee players, plus other little extras too.
