Bird was a guy who had 1 injury free game in 7 weeks. Anyone who traded him in sight unseen on his comeback game knew it was a risk.
He was also not Billy Smith

FWIW I'm not really annoyed by Hunt personally, as I take the view clubs will always look to do the same in reverse.
More the system needs some guardrails.
Players moving mid-club on deals that don't go beyond the current season is obviously a terrible look that does nothing but alienate fans, especially those already suffering enough (because the traffic is pretty one way, and the competition hasn't been this structurally lopsided since the 1980s).
It would be pretty easy to do something between the reactionary cowboys running the NRL and the all-powerful RLPA that is mutually beneficial here. And in a bunch of other areas.

I wouldn’t mind it as much if the club getting the player had room for the whole salary under the cap. Getting hunt for $200k in a competition that has a finals series is just taking the piss.

As much as I hate your very obvious agenda, as a Walsh owner I can't see him getting off lightly here.
His arrogance is there to see and I can see the NRL making an example of him so fellow youngsters stay in check and don't let their ego outgrow them.
filthridden wrote:$400k in the kitty to spend.
Need an EDG for 17 this week with Hosking out.
TU: Save the $ for Cleary and go with a Blore/Curran type
TD: Spend it to bring in Fifita, worry about Cleary later

Talakai, Ramien, Kelly and Sami with byes done. Timoko and Kris with the annoying Rd 20 bye. Aitken with a bye still and VTW won't cover that if he's even around still.. and not sure I want any more Dolphins. Kelly was dropped at some point, so probably avoid him.
Maybe Ramo since I'm a tightass and recommended him a couple of times recently.

I bet his club and legal counsel have said let us do all the talking, just sit there and don't open your mouth.
