Don't fall over yourself too quickly to oppose what I say because it's me when you just agreed with 90per cent of what I said and the other ten per cent you are trying to argue with is pretty much unarguable
Paranoid much ;-)
I was genuinely interested in who you thought we had lost because of Choc's contract value?
The only one I can think of in the "promising junior" category is Pauli and I am not so sure BA was super keen on him anyway.
In regard to Junior Paulo, Ricky has offered him $600k per year which I personally don't think he is worth at this stage (need to see how the reduced interchange goes for the big boppers IMHO) and from what I have been led to believe we don't need to match it to keep him - we just need to come pretty close. I trust BA, DA and Co. to decide on what he is worth and make a suitable counter offer.
We haven't lost any high profile players because until this year we only really has Sandow and we were all happy to see him go (Jarryd doesn't count because we didn't lose him because of $).
Still happy to get your thoughts though.
