Another Burgess to join Bunnies?

It's being reported that George Burgess, the youngest of Sam's brothers has signed with the Bunnies on a season long loan from Bradford. NRL Live reckons it is very possible but won't link to anything until it becomes official.Maybe pop over to the burrow and see the speculation for yourself. These rumours have been swirling for a while now but whatever the case, George is 18 and probably a bit off playing first grade just yet so it's not like Inglis has just been frogmarched off Redfern Oval or anything.

Dickie Knee - New Chooks Recruit Out for 6 months

NRL Live feels like yelling OUCH upon hearing that Anthony Watts (Rooster-Sharkie-Cowboy-Rooster) has been ruled out for a minimum of 6 months after tearing his ACL in a training drill. Watts signed on a 3 year deal after impressing as a hooker/half super sub at the Cowboys last year. Chookies fans will be hoping he doesn't lose any of the zip that has seen him become highly effective running from dummy half at tiring forwards.

Pommy Roby turns dowm NRL, Graham not sure

NRL Live sees that English hooker / half James Roby has turned down interest from NRL clubs to resign with St Helens, pleasing coach Royce Simmons. James Graham, the ginger ninja front rower similar in playing style to Rodney Howe, is the other Pom with big interest in the NRL. He has yet to put pen to paper....

Braith to Fly Chook Pen

Some NRL Live news that goes to show that club contracts are about as binding as a piece of chewy on the road. It has been reported that the Cowboys have formally asked for permission to open talks with Braith Anasta to join the them for the 2011 season. After such a great season in 2010 it seems unlikely that Anasta will shift base to T-Ville, the only reason NRL Live sees is if the Roosters have a squeeze on the salary cap or there is a multi year offer that will let Braith play out his career in Australia.

Rusty emails Inglis contract to NRL

News today from NRL Live is that the Bunnies have lodged a G.I's contract with the NRL, albeit via email. Will Gallop decide to take on the mouth, money and Gladatorial might of Russell Crowe, or was he just all bluff?

Rabbits hop to defend Inglis deal

Here at NRL Live we have been enjoying the drama over at Redfern- it keeps NRL News in the headlines. David Gallop has put on his sternest face when addressing the media and Big Rusty has been shooting from the lip. Officially now though, Souths have hosed down any suggestion that G.I will not be at the club next season. CEO Shane Richardson said that he was absolutely positive that the superstar would have his contract resolved in the next few days.

Inglis not part of rabbit stew

In NRL news, David Gallop will not sanction Greg Inglis' deal at the rabbits and he will not be a bunny in 2011. Backing up the tough talk, a few bunnies are going to have to leave the burrow....

Toyota Cup Player cops 2 year ban

Kurt Foggo, a Gold Coast Toyota Cup player, has received a 2 year ban after testing positive to a stimulant. While not a steroid, NRL Live cant have any sympathy. Old Mate here, believes recreational drugs should be OK, but the stuff that makes you quicker and stronger is a no no.

Independent Commission is close....

The NRL's first independent commission that will deal with the state of the game and the major issues moving into the future is close to fruition. Your Old Mate regards this NRL news much like a new team in the comp. New name but to start with it's the same old heads from the upper echelons of power with a few old heads thrown in. BUT, it is a start. I wouldn't expect too much initially people, but the first step is the hardest.

Warning: Irony Alert - Poms complain about player drain

Some twit from SuperLeague has spoken out about the NRL luring the best English players away from the Pommy game at the height of their powers. Excuse me while I slap myself in the face with a great big stick of irony. But don't worry pal, we will only take your best.

Gallop's trying to be Hard, But Greg's Still a Bunny

David Gallop attempted to talk tough concerning GI's contract at the Bunnies- not released, short form contracts, still a Storm player, blah blah blah. NRL Live knows what's up Davo: He's gone, and he isn't going back. You're only saying this to stop other players reneging on not so done deals. 

Bunnies rejoice 3 year Inglis deal

Greg Inglis has put pen to paper on a 3 year deal with the Bunnies. Normal fans and those in the Burrow are over the moon, hoping Inglis can be the missing link that catapults them into top four contenders. NRL live wonders reckons this could be the signing of the decade but the stench of expectation is strong....

Burgess' Bung Shoulder Gets The OK
