In your opinion, irrespective of how much they are supposedly being paid, who has been the been the best performing buy for any club of the season? As a biased Warriors supporter I'd have to nominate Mateo.

Although he hadn't played any first grade, Tariq Sims has been a quality investment by North Queensland.

But then our whole off-season recruitment was stunning.

Dallas Johnson or Tariq Sims? The Cowboys nailed it this past off-season.

Plenty of other clubs went on spending sprees and are now lumped with crap under performing players for the next few years. Some which hurt the cap in a big way.

Dont forget Fai-Fai Loa.

As a Dragons fan, I know I won't.

That kid always puts in.

Mateo has a good 2 weeks and he's buy of the year? For what the Warriors paid him he should be buy of the year but he's nowhere close. Tariq Sims for me.

Cowboys recruitment officer deserves a lot of credit, especially when you think that Brett "I left my coathanger in my jersey" Tate has only just started playing.

Mateo for the Warriors has been good as well.

Do you know how much pine is worth these days? Mark Ridell has been the best bench warmer of the lot so he gets my vote. You can't put a dollar value on a well kept pine bench seat! Tariq Sims has gone ok as well...

Didn't you see that he wanted the price to be ignored.

Personally i don't see how it is possible to say who is the best buy without taking price into consideration. I don't know how someone getting paid the amount marquee players do that comes off the bench could be the best buy.

A 10 foot eight by two piece of radiata is worth about $8 dollars, twice the worth of the piggy man.
