The best club side I have ever seen was the 1994 Canberra Raiders. These days, I’m wondering if the Melbourne Storm has over taken them. I love watching the Storm. There is something about a team that isn’t just the best football side, but who also have command of the mental side of the game….
The Sydney Roosters have just about free’d up all the salary cap space they need to sign Australian forward Willie Mason. Roosters lock Ashley Harrison looks set to leave the club and head to the Gold Coast Titans on a three year deal that would give the Roosters some room under the cap to sign…

And yet, according to some media outlets,…
I was all for the NRL’s strong stance against the Bulldogs when it was revealed that they had cheated the salary cap. Not it seems the Warriors have done the same thing. If its proven that the Warriors organization at any time made payments to players, knowing those payments were not being put on the…
News this week that the St George-Illawarra Dragons needed to release a number of players to get under the 2006 salary cap came as a surprise, especially as the club only just re-signed fullback Clint Greenshields to a one year deal and Luke Bailey to a similar deal just a few months earlier.

The Bulldogs have Broken the cap again and they should get their $100,000 fine and told any breach in the next 10 years thats under $100,000 will result in the loss of 10 competition point. They weren’t the only club to break the cap, with a few other teams doing their bit as well. But…
