Quote changa="changa"THE COWBOYS are preparing to make Johnathan Thurston an offer that will make the Maroons halfback the richest player in the game. Sport Confidential has been told North Queensland are prepared to offer Thurston a staggering $700,000 a year, a deal which should stop the player rated as the best in the game from returning to the Bulldogs. Cowboys CEO Peter Parr has been scouring North Queensland for third-party sponsors and has all but secured the deal that will be offered to Thurston during the off-season. "I am pretty confident we'll come up with a deal that will be very hard to match," Parr said. www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/ ... 5751177427'" So thats roughly £345,000 a year, no wonder superleague clubs couldn't match it with a £1.6 million salary cap, yes a brilliant player but not worth that when you have the restraints of the cap.

problem i have with coley is that hes only come good in his last contract year. he was pretty average last year to be fair



given the above, if fielden is still here next year i bet he has a stormer and people will be clamoring to have him re-signed



however, if we cant sign a replacement who is at the same level, he should be kept

a little dicky bird told me Coley could be on his way to Barrow as they are paying big money to get them to Superleague!

How does that work with no promotion or relegation?

If you win stuff, you get a big tick. Hence all the fuss from Widnes for winning the NR Cup.

Barrow won't get into Super Duper League as their ground isn't good enough.

All Super League grounds have to be of the very highest standard and Barrow's just isn't up to the required level.

We play Bradford AT Odsal this Sunday don't we?

Unless you are an expansion club. Which is fine btw so don't hate me

just wish it was a bit closer.

Castleford, Wakey, Celtic, Bradford, Saints, Hull KR and Salford all teams in super league with quality stadia.

4 of which have stron development plans for new stadiums.

I've got a plan to shag the entire Sky Sports News female crew, but it doesn't necessarily mean its actually going to happen. However its more likely than some of that lot getting a new ground - plan or no plan.

I'll have a fiver that you get it on with Millie Clode before Wakefield or Bradford get a new ground!



ummmmmmmmm millie clode

I'm more likely to have a threesome with Millie AND Natalie Sawyer before Bradford get a new ground.
