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)

With regards to Penrith and how well that club is run.
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

It’s a great listen. 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.

It works here if the intention is to constantly weaken the top clubs at the expense of British RL itself. Because here the top clubs continually lose their best players overseas or to another game rather than to clubs lower down the pecking order.

The emphasis in the UK seems to be on penalising excellence, thereby rewarding failure, rather than evening things out.

Either way, it still feels like penalising excellence, thereby rewarding failure.


back to the original query that the SC is working in the NRL

last 10 years 5 winners / SL 3 winners, so yes, a couple of extra sides have won it, but only 3 in the last 8 years

Wigan up to recent have constantly lost our top players to RU / NRL, and players to other SL clubs, but that is seen as failure, but Penrith are losing their players and its seen as working?

what is slightly different is that in Penrith case, they are mostly losing to other NRL sides, whereas Wigan lost to NRL

i heard a comment the other day that Wigan spend the most, so are most successful (think it was taken from a podcast), but all the other SL clubs can spend what Wigan spend on the cap and marquee players, so why criticise or complain that Wigan are spending more, when we are playing to the same rules as everyone else

The problem is now is that we are winning and some fans put it down to-
we have more money
We buy the best players
We have refs on our side
We cheat (a favourite one of mine)
Etc,Etc,Etc-
They could say we have a bloody good team and a great balance in that team,but they can't as it would hurt too much to admit it.

The talk that Wigan spend more than anyone else came on the back of that Sky piece during their coverage of one of the games and tbh, I thought it was a little naughty because it it was a bit of guesswork and ultimately everyone is playing under the exact same rules, restrictions and dispensations. Wigan are good with the Sky team and give them access not all clubs do, so I'd have expected a bit more from them in return.
