Get a room and f**k already you two
I ain't the one derailing the thread for the purposes of trolling. We can find the instigating post for each thread villa starts it off on.Get a room and f**k already you two

We have the money to bump up Lukes offer. Don't see why we aren't doing it.
They love playing Russian Roulette don’t they? Ahhh but they’re the best this management team. It’s like a jenga puzzle.
Sort it out I’d suggest.
i feel the same way. We havent had value for money in the 3 years we had him (overall) so why take the risk on losing even more on the signing by paying overs again. The best i would offer would be some target bonuses that he would get at the end of the year if achieved.Cmon mate. They have no control over Parra paying ridiculous overs for Issac. Did you want them to upgrade him for no reason despite the fact at negotiation time he had one sole bidder, who pulled out?
We might have the cash but if we pay 700k or that sort of ball park for a guy who's played one good season in 3, is aging, has historic motivation issues and the fact it stops us being able to sign anything that comes up ie a great prop...I'm not saying dont do it because we need a quality hooker but it's fraught with risk.

Remember, we were prepared to play a chap who hasn’t played first grade $60000 per year for 5 years.
We took a risk to see how long we could keep Issac on a low salary and our bluff has been called. We will end up relying on a chap who has barely been able to get on the field over the past year or so, or Jazz. Blind Freddie can see that won’t work out well.
Ridiculous overs?
The alleged numbers are $350k per year for 2 years for a test international hooker who also finished high up in the Dally M Hooker of the Year points. The salary cap is what $10m for 30 players. With simple maths you can work out they are offering him the average salary.
If he goes, we also have to replace him in the squad for salary cap purposes. The base salary now I believe is $100k, so losing Issac will not improve our salary cap position to any extent either.

Well done to Luke’s manager, he did a great job in getting further $$ for Issac. Were Parra ever semi serious about signing him? Don’t forget that clubs were not lining up to sign him The Knights got scared off last year. Did the Warriors have to give him extra dollars? Could they have offered this as an incentive e.g. you’ll get a bonus if you play Xx amount of games.
