Union Cup Final was a decent game for rugby fanatics who can understand and appreciate the forward and rucking skills shown, as well as the grind, but it was a terrible game for showing off rugby's strength to new and (slowly) growing markets like Russia, US and smaller European nations.

Agreed.

So Daniel Mortimer is the Roosters saviour next year huh? Good luck with that Bondi

Knowing Parra's luck he will turn around and have a blinder of a year like every player we let go

So Carney and Cronulla are a match made in heaven, team circling the drain buying a player who likes to sleep next to the drain...

Hopefully Gallen's off field behaviour influences him more than his on field thuggery does.

Yeah let's send the NRL's resident drunk to party central.

WOW HARSH WORDS ABOUT CRONULLA....

I didnt want to the club sign him.. but then they did well with Tim Smith. he behaved himself well...(now he is off overeas again..)

and cronulla is no more of a party place then lets say Bondi or Manly or Newcastle or Gold Coast or Melbourne....... seriously didnt matter where the kid goes if he wants to find a drink and a party he will find one..

Very true.

If the reports of the amount of money Cronulla has outlayed for him over 2 years, he better be in good form, and take it easy on the drink. At least they had the smarts to put clauses and other safe guards in his contract so they can get rid of him if he gets the itch again.

yeah well that figure they are throwing around the media is what he "could" earn if he stays incident free. 200K for 2012 with upgrades in the next season and incentive payments..

still if carney recaptures his 2010 form it is a bargain...

And if he falls off the wagon again in 2013, he saves the Sharks a bucketful as well.

20 man touring squad named for the next test, wonder what Kiwi team will rock up?

They were a bit harsh and I apologise for that. I think I was more annoyed that Carney got yet another chance in the NRL.
