Newcastle, diving, contracts, angry fans, selectors
26. Newcastle needs to get moving in the transfer market if they're going to be anywhere near finals in the future, however, their patience should pay off. There is so much talent on the open market, and the Knights need to avoid throwing big money away unless it is justified. The Titans played it patiently and managed to pick up Peats, Hurrell and Hayne as a result. They'll get their men, eventually.
27. For all the talk of players 'diving', shouldn't coaches be more worried about their players committing acts of genuine stupidity? No contact, no penalty. Pretty simple.
28. I don't know why everyone is saying the player transfer system is broken due to the Mitch Moses fiasco. He has a contract and should be expected to fulfil it. Just because a player has thrown his toys out of his crib doesn't mean the system is broken. There are 50 examples as to why it is broken, but Moses needs to focus on justifying the ridiculous money he has reportedly signed for.
29. There have been times where I have been pretty down, even angry, at my NRL side, but I've never considered burning my jersey. I know it's a symbolic gesture but wow.
30. I feel sorry for Origin selectors who have to choose between Darius Boyd or Billy Slater for the Origin number one jersey. I also feel sorry for Mr Jennifer Hawkins, and people who have too much money.
