He’s not worth more because of his age, he is just worth a longer contract. He is worth more because he’s a better player.

Doorey is 26. Is he worth more than Barnett?

The Broncos are offering less than us because of Broncos dollars. Without the 18th team they would be offering even less, and so would we.
He is worth more because of his age and playing better..

Broncos dollars didn't help them keep Hass.

South's dollars?

If you think $900k is crazy, how much do you think we offered Koloamatangi? An 18th club is coming in ffs, and it’s bringing inflation. Rethink what players are worth.

We also need to rethink retirement age. The NRL will have plenty of 35 year olds in the coming years.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Strange , the Dogs signed Burton AND Kikau when they were playing like a dogs breakfast and added Crichton, Tigers signed Laui, Turuva and Terrell May when they were last.

What’s the issue with the Eels, could it be the guys tasked with selling the club🤔

Maybe it’s because when we bring them out to see our swish new COE, they discover that it’s out in the middle of f**king nowhere.

Who the hell wants to drive to Kellyville every day?

So all the signings that are bad, MON did it and all the signings that are good, Ryles did it ?

How am I going ?

“Sorry PVL, we are only spending 80% of the cap this year because that’s all these deadshits are worth. Stick your 97.5% rule up your arse.”
You’ve misunderstood what I said. I’m saying just because you can have a 35 year old in your team doesn’t mean you should. What are the odds that they’re going to be very good? The probability is very low. Who was the last elite 35 year old forward? Maybe Price and Civoniceva? I can’t think of much else and that was before the 6 again rules.

Are the people complaining that we can’t sign anyone decent in competition with other clubs also complaining about offering Barnett too much and too long ?
Yes…me … players don’t want to come to this club, we are not an appealing destination therefore currently have to pay through the nose for a 33 yr old injury riddled player who can’t start for another year, in return we are offering a decent utility and $900000 a year for 3 years, give me a fkn break…..this club should be a top 5 destination club, but u do u
