Off the back of Jack Wighton’s decision to head to South Sydney, Gus believes that a draft and trade window system is needed. Victor Radley’s tackle yesterday didn’t deserve a penalty, let alone a sin bin. Gus has his say on pitch invaders and whether the NRL is taking a serious stance.

gus has this draft thing backwards I thought drafts were only used for rookies coming into the game
Why do use still use okd photos of gus for your thumbnails he has lost weight now why make him look bad ya onkss
Put the slater podcast on youtube
30 grown men, most who are 6 feet or more, 90-120kgs who smash into each other for 80 minutes are scared about a 70kg soaking wet skinny 19 year old. Watch when a fan jumps into a wrestling ring, he gets battered and bruised.
Wow, Gus doesn't even know how a free agency and draft system works….🤦♂
Does Canberra losing Wighton now put Jayden Sullivan in their cross hairs? Different styles of players but a hard running 5/8 is easier to find than a genuine half back
Gusss is wrong a draft is a couple of weeks to a month where teams choose a player up in the market an the player still choose the club not first in first serve. Every team puts in for a player an its announced live the player then choose live. What team he wants
There will need to be academies like in the AFL because the NRL isn't going to wear the cost of running all of the jnr's.
Stop crying, we didn't have a whinge about signing Asotasi for overs….
Peter Kelly, Les Davidson, Terry Randall, Harry Eden, Mal Reilly not in the list of scariest players?
Gus' proposal of the draft is not even remotely close to how the draft works in other sports… That proposal is horrible, players will get stuck in situations where they are unhappy and have no way of getting out of it, forcing a player to another team that they might also not want to go to isn't an answer for them. A draft for existing players coming off contract as free agents would never ever work and is not used in the NBA for example… Free agents in the NBA have the chance to go to any team that is willing to offer them whatever they want.. The player can then choose what team they want to play for… Players are willing to go to other teams for less money if they prefer to be in a particular City , or they are willing to sacrifice money for a greater chance at a championship, it happens all the time… Gus' Draft proposal has the potential to remove this opportunity for players.
Draft is only for rookies coming into the league, teams that do poorly in the year get a higher chance for the #1 pick of the rookies coming into the league… This is designed for lower tier teams to improve…
I'm not listening to "know it all Gus" and his lispy mouth full of saliva voice for 50 mins.This guy has way more respect than he ever deserves.
Gus’s bright idea is to blackmail players into staying at clubs that ain’t gonna win a premiership at 😂😂
Even if Radley's tackle was a head clash, Bromwich got done for it. How are you not understanding that careless and reckless hits need to be penalised. Napa got pinged how many times because of reckless tackling technique?
And there's literally a screenshot floating around of Radley's shoulder connecting with the jaw
I have been pro NRL draft for 15+ years. IMO its the only way to ensure the less desirable clubs can gain high end junior talent. Some clubs like Titans just cannot compete in signing the better players with the higher tier teams and the draft can resolve this. Please bring it in 🙏
If Wighton was to leave Raiders when there was a draft in the NRL, then the Raiders would receive compensation from the NRL in the way of a franchise player compensation draft pick, which the club would apply for and if given it could possibly be a top selection in the following draft.
What's lost in the discussions about a draft is the human impact. It's not fair to expect a young kid on 150k a year to uproot from his support network and potentially move thousands of kilometers away to play football. Just as it's not fair to expect a veteran in the twilight of his career to pack up his young family and move them somewhere else to play his final season. Yes, these blokes are on good money but the difference between us and the NFL or other sports with a draft, is everyone is paid astronomical money which allows the players to move their entire family to wherever they play. I doubt you would be able to bankroll a move of your entire support network to a temporary location on 500k or so a year.
U can’t draft in NRL where u gonna draft from. America has draft cause their collage sports are so big and the talent is ridiculous.
13:53 Gus dropped a nugget 😂
Who run the vast majority of private security companies?
Are these security workers sufficiently trained?
A draft won't get through the legislature.
Wow! You don't even mention the Broncos even though they're on top of the ladder? The arrogance.
Lol the draft system would get blown up more than anything in NRL. If Tigers picked Wighton and Jack says "I'm not going I want to play with my cousin, friends and an indigenous proud Souths" then Souths can either purchase the draft pick contract OR swap Tigers like 5+ gun juniors for him. It would end up where the rich and powerful clubs with juniors like Souths, Penrith, Broncos etc. would end up even more powerful. The league saw that coming back in the 90s
It's About Time the NRL introduce the draft system already.
