Well this is novel

[Clifferd]

Woods is our best prop and we can't afford to let him go. The problem is he just can't do it all on his own. He also plays very long minutes for a prop

We have the 4th most running metres in the comp, which indicates our go forward is actually quite good. It's our backs that aren't converting this good field position into points

 

[Das Hassler]

Take this as a fact....regardless of Foran"s overall fitness to honour a contractual commitment he will not be signing with anyone for less than elite player money...he's not yet Carney or Sandow

 

[Tiger Woody]

Yeah I noticed -

Woods is one of the best props in the game - I dont want to pay him a million, but he doesnt want to leave either, all that postcode crap.

I reckon he is just playing the managers game and will stay put.

He wont leave....
its all about 2040 and "just playing good footy"
"watching tv and having a feed with the missus and dog in downtown Leichhardt"..lol

 

[Tiger Woody]

Foran isn't contracted anywhere next year.

Give him and Teddy 900k
Woods 750k
Moses 250k
Brooks 250k
Theres half the cap spent. 4.2 mil for the remaining 20 players (which is 210k average for each of them)

Teddy 1 mill for mine..
Woods 700..
Nofa as well...not sure how much though?

The other 2 mini minors 300 max...

If we keep shopping at Aldi we will keep getting crap results.

Our middle has improved slightly this year, but I think it only looks that way because teams are targeting our edges because its easier.

As Ive said many times, we are not 1 or 2 players away.

To become genuine premier contenders, we need to sweep this entire roster and from the other posts on here, I think that is the consensus.

Where we are reminds me of the last few years of the Magpies. We have a couple of decent players and garbage. I remember Trevor Cogger trying his heard out every week for nothing.

The Aldi purchases=Rankin,Edwards...
We need to get to David Jones or Myer for our next shopping list.
Spend peanuts you get monkeys.
For the big brooms Bunnings have a nice selection.
Cogs was good wasnt he........Gee those last few years before the joint venture were suicide type years for us Wests supporters.....
Compares a bit to this year actually.

 

[Tiger Woody]

I love Aldi.

I don't think we need massive changes but I do think we need to buy some quality players in key positions. We can't though overpay our juniors that come through and we can't overpay in positions that we are already strong in.

Fix the issues that we have. Purchase the right players.

Aldi reminds me of queuing up at Leichhardt Oval for a piss.

Although at Leichhardt you walk away from the toilets feeling somewhat better.

Theres half the cap spent. 4.2 mil for the remaining 20 players (which is 210k average for each of them)

OR (not including TPAs which could add 20% to the salaries if done right)

Cronk 1 million
Teddy 900k
Woods 750k
Brooks 350k

3 million is just over 1/3 of our cap for halves, fullback and the man who carries our pack on his shoulders

 

[Shredder]

Bidding war is going to take Cronk way over a million.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Bidding war is going to take Cronk way over a million.

Not if we offer him a 1 million dollar penthouse!

 

[Tiger05]

I reckon we can skip Cronk mainly because I'd rather fix our problems on the edges. Interestingly we apparently made a play for Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and are thinking of making a play for Dean Whare.
